This looks suspiciously like me
Report
Last night I stayed up a little later than I had wanted to, I played World of Warcraft deep into the night, but I feel some solace in that I really had nothing to do today except make some calls, go to a party with co-workers, and attend a ballet class.
I slept a full 8 hours unfortunately that had me waking up at around noon time. Though me sleeping in did not allow me all the time I needed to make some daytime phone calls, I instead spent the time hanging with my sister and my two month old niece. I won't make excuses and say I could have gotten everything done today that I wanted to, but I still made the day enjoyable, after an overwhelmingly sad day prior.
After some quality time with my family, I then dropped by my assistant manager's apartment. He had planned a get together with myself and two other co-workers, Dave and Dwayne. The motley crew of us four enjoyed a game of Beirut. Unfortunately myself and Dave were teamed up, against the veterans, Nate and Dwayne. We lost, badly. I accounted for about a third of a full handle of apple schnapps because of how poorly I did. Taking it in stride and being careful I didn't drink much more, though Dave did have a few trips to the toilet, which for the rest of the party was mostly amusing.
The most remarkable part of the day was when, after imbibing some liquor, Nate, Dwayne and myself free-style rapped. Nate had an i-pod with some instrumentals tracks, and with that came the birth of the new hip-hop group, "Q11," named after our code for our store location. Nate and Dwayne tore it up with impressive lyrics, I never expected Dwayne, who stands about 5'3" and looks a touch "emo" could freestyle like a seasoned pro. Comic hilarity ensued with Dwayne's "Randy Macho Man Savage" impression, Nate's impression of Dave playing world of warcraft, and me trying to rhyme to a super Mario brother's track.
Here is a little sample of something I remember saying
"Clear out, heads up
I am the 8-bit masta
See me when I'm Link
Full hearts charged, n' I'll blast-ya
When I play Mario,
I'm jumping high, breaking blocks
Bust in and save the princess
Take her home n knock of her socks
Get all revved up,
Ride her like Excitebike
Bowser busts in, says
Naw man she's a dyke
Up-down-up-down
Left-right-left-right
Got the Konami code
Now for Contra I'm tight"
Though some on-lookers may wonder why I may actually be happy about such debauchery in my life when I am really trying to clean it up, it is about connecting with people, being myself, and having fun, that made it such a positive experience. So though it may have been a waste of time, it was healthy, active, and social. When I left Nate also invited me back, so the Q11 crew could roll out again. I wonder if he'll still feel that way when he finds the vase that Dwayne broke.
I scooted off to Ballet. Though I stopped drinking sometime before leaving, the residual "spiny" effect made me dance pretty poorly. I was quiet in class so no one would get pissed that I was drinking before class. I think a few class-mates noticed, I blushed I think... though I might have been flushed still too. Then I basically came home and came to the computer. Not before kissing my niece and eating my Wendy's value meal.
Body - 5 : I treated her pretty badly today, the 12+ shots of schnapps, and a few of captain Morgan, made me run at below my normal capacity. The Wendy's value meal probably wasn't a good choice either. the only reason I gave myself a 5 was because I could have done a lot worse and still was smart enough to make sure I could drive safely. Plus I didn't have to puke.
Emotion - 9 : I was happy today, I had a fun time, relaxed, grew better relationships with people. I even smiled. Another bonus was that I hung out with males which is a big step for me, because I usually exclude men from my social life. This was refreshing and nice. I did not feel any instability, beyond becoming uncoordinated from alcohol. I held back a perfect score because I drunk dialed my ex girlfriend and I think the residual alcohol had me hitting on some of the ballet students a little bit more than was appropriate.
Mind - 9 : Excellent job today mentally. I had enough wherewithal to moderate drinking enough to have fun, but not harm myself, I came up with sick rhymes, and also gave myself a number of sobriety tests. I also did well remembering my routines in ballet class which really caught me off guard, I normally struggle with remembering even simple sequences. My mind proved resilient and strong in the face of barbiturates, and ballet. I took off one point for not making my phone calls today, though there was some excuses, my minds lack in judgment last night hurt its score today.
Overall - 7.6
Props to my home boy Mario keeping it real in the Mushroom Kingdom
