It's time for a new chapter

I've had my share of laughs, pictures, WTF moments, and bonding experiences when drinking alcohol, but anymore, the adult beverage is just causing me problems and it's time to quit. I gave it up for 4 months earlier this year, in light of some rather unexpected major panic attacks. After my body adjusted to the medication, I started off slowly with the drinking, but just 3 months later, and I'm already feeling the negative effects: Gout, elevated anxiety, elevated blood pressure, elevated heart rate, fatigue, etc. While I could undergo a personal experiment and test how many drinks I can consume on a given night and how many consecutive nights I can drink without suffering such ill effects, I don't want to put my mind, heart, and rest of my body through that. So, I think it's just time to give it up. Some of my friends and family members seem to feel bad for me, but I don't see the reason why. Without alcohol, I'll sleep better, feel better, look better, and live better. I've already had my fair share of funny/stupid/WTF drunken moments. It's time now, instead of being the life of the party, to observe others making fools of themselves and be on the lookout so that everyone makes it home safely. Cheers, everyone, to a healthier and happier life! :: water, of course ::

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
