it looks like matt had a good one last night eh? i've had a few of those. when an innocent two beers with dinner turns into a thursday night bender. one noted night over break was when i had a beer with dinner after a bike ride, it was around 8. i went back to the lab for an hour or 2 of work but in the back of my mind i just wanted to drink. i get back to my apartment and i grab a beer and take a shower. after i finish one beer in the shower it is clear that i want another, but i also am enjoying the shower. this was during the near zero degree week over break. so i get out, leave the shower on and go get 2 more, dont want to make a second trip. i then pound two more beers enjoying the now sauna like atmosphere in my bathroom. then i'm out of beer. so i go get another from the fridge and warm back up in the shower. it then hits me that this is totally ridiculous. i'm kinda drunk and been in the shower for like 30 mins now. i'm like 'alright ron get out of the shower'. so i got out cranked up the tunes and finished off the beer. only difference here is that i didnt have to get up for work in the morning.
it hit me the other day listening to green day, dookie is 10 years old. damn. then i realized that i'm in 17th grade if you start counting after high school. ha ha oh well.
i really dont have much to rant about. i know brain, matt, tino and kolpak are all pretty politically educated. i am not. quite frankly i couldn't care less. it sounds terrible but i'm pretty sure that no matter who is elected for the next president doesnt really have a bearing on my life. my 'aura' of things and issues i care about and express emotion over are limited. the way i see it, let the politicians do the government shit. let the engineers do the engineering stuff. if people would concentrate on their speciality and worry less about other issues that they are only slightly educated about then things would get done quicker, better and cheaper. basically i'm saying elect engineers to the government to solve all problems. they have a high ethics code to live by, are very reasonible thinkers, and work in teams. enough said. chump, agree?
