It changes with the times as much as it stays the same. Drinking and driving is always a bad idea. Drinking and dancing is a car wreck of a different nature.

Paris, I can help you. For I know what it is like to be separated from booze, well not legally separated, but separated nonetheless. Sure, living in jail will not prove to be a Simple Life (I know) but you will survive (unlike House of Wax). You have been prepared via your reality series. The accommodations you will experience might even be better then those you lived with and inspired (mocked and embarrassed). The meals will be provided for you, your schedule will be planned out and you won’t even have to work (how is this different?)! Plus when you are released you have the whole talk show circuit to milk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;…But the booze, oh, how this will be difficult. No longer will you be able to show your snootch, freely, without inciting unwanted advances. No longer will you be able to splash a drink on another woman without it resulting in your Solomon hole being wired shut. No longer will you have to endure the high sodium diet you have become adjusted to, they offer chicken and vegetables not Cristal and semen. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at this time as a time for change. There is much to learn in jail, most importantly, consequences. A person can not go though life, doing as they wish, living a shallow existence of unwarranted fame and wealth, setting a poor example for others, without paying a price. And that price…45 days in a celebrity jail. Please take this to heart, for we tax payers are picking up the tab on this. All we ask is that, if you see us out at the bar, (with Lindsey or Brit) please pick up ours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;1 day left.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2964336739175139362-4368017108333237744?l=soberbonath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/feeds/4368017108333237744/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2964336739175139362&amp;postID=4368017108333237744' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/4368017108333237744'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/4368017108333237744'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/2007/05/day-fourty-five.html' title='Day Fourty Five'/><author><name>Saint James</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://a304.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/38/l_1f66e8dea8395e5fd80fa210a22bed97.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RkJRrYKNI5I/AAAAAAAAAg0/py2ft0gVqd4/s72-c/James_Paris.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964336739175139362.post-3285149326942160741</id><published>2007-05-08T15:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T09:14:44.009-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Day Fourty Four</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RkJRcYKNI4I/AAAAAAAAAgs/v6LohL65V4I/s1600-h/James_Giraffe.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062698479081300866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RkJRcYKNI4I/AAAAAAAAAgs/v6LohL65V4I/s400/James_Giraffe.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;VILNIUS, Lithuania - Climbing into a giraffe's cage at the local zoo seemed a good idea after a few drinks. But the prank went wrong when the 1.3-ton animal flew into a rage and attacked the three student trespassers at a zoo in Lithuania on Monday night.&lt;br /&gt;reserved.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me begin with the fact that I have done a lot of dumb things while I have been intoxicated. That said, I don’t think riding a giraffe ever came across my mind. These long necked leopard horses have gone un-ridden for far too long. It’s about time some young adventurous gents took it upon themselves to right this appalling wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You hear that Geoffrey?

The video, which aired Thursday on TV tabloid shows, depicts an apparently inebriated Hasselhoff, clad only in blue jeans, lying on the floor of a room and clumsily eating a hamburger while one of his daughters reproves him about his drinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, it looks like I’m kicking the Hoff’s ass in this whole not drinking thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I am a recovering alcoholic,” Hasselhoff said in a statement issued Thursday. Unfortunately, one evening I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, you have to go back to drinking in order to stop dinking!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kitt&lt;/strong&gt;: What are you doing Michael?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Knight&lt;/strong&gt;: The judge said I have to install this breathalyzer thing on you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kitt&lt;/strong&gt;: Michael, that’s a cheeseburger…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Knight&lt;/strong&gt;: You’re not the boss of me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kitt&lt;/strong&gt;: Don’t stain my interior!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Knight&lt;/strong&gt;: …………..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kitt&lt;/strong&gt;: Michael…Michael…aaaaaaaand you just peed yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;6 days left.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2964336739175139362-2759253734967657048?l=soberbonath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/feeds/2759253734967657048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2964336739175139362&amp;postID=2759253734967657048' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/2759253734967657048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/2759253734967657048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/2007/05/day-fourty.html' title='Day Fourty'/><author><name>Saint James</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://a304.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/38/l_1f66e8dea8395e5fd80fa210a22bed97.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RjvgiIKNIzI/AAAAAAAAAgE/D6j3vpgre6Y/s72-c/Hasseloff_drunk.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964336739175139362.post-2349487850545169890</id><published>2007-05-03T18:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T09:14:45.229-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Day Thirty Nine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/Rjvf6oKNIxI/AAAAAAAAAf0/LjJjxxLng2w/s1600-h/James_Beeker.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5060884804586513170" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/Rjvf6oKNIxI/AAAAAAAAAf0/LjJjxxLng2w/s200/James_Beeker.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I’ve noticed that ever since I began this experiment I’ve been a little fuzzy.

The exact reverse of what should be occurring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paradox&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could this mean that I require alcohol to function properly? My Tin Man brain needs its oil?

However, this will not prevent me from attempting to block/embarrass myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When driving a car load full of drunks the radio is useless. Even if it goes to eleven, the drunks will surmount its seemingly deafening chorus to remind you that you need Mario Andretti it to your destination to avoid a stream of piss down the back of your neck. Tony Robins be damned, that is motivation enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bromance&lt;/em&gt;….not that into it. I’m down for one, maybe two, fist pounds in an evening outside of sporting events. After that, let’s just appreciate each others company in a non awkward, adult patty cake, sort of way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friends, while entertaining, are not funnier then Dave Attell. When he chooses to single you out for interrupting his performance and insults you, take it like a man/woman. Your comeback will not be better then a professional comedian’s. This reminds me of the old saying: when you play with fire…..something about flames…wait, is that whole saying about the gays…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the gays, nice folks. Not that I ran into any this evening, or did I? If you are near me, and feel it necessary to go on a homophobic rant, write it all down. I will look it over for spelling and grammar errors, and you can take it to your next clan meeting. I hear they have bitching lemon squares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12 days left.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2964336739175139362-354298905758021375?l=soberbonath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/feeds/354298905758021375/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2964336739175139362&amp;postID=354298905758021375' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/354298905758021375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/354298905758021375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/2007/04/day-thirty-four.html' title='Day Thirty Four'/><author><name>Saint James</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://a304.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/38/l_1f66e8dea8395e5fd80fa210a22bed97.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RjkgYIKNIoI/AAAAAAAAAes/axO71YWF_OU/s72-c/Dave%2520Attell.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964336739175139362.post-5929303768375736810</id><published>2007-04-27T21:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T09:14:47.093-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Day Thirty Three</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/Rja_uoKNImI/AAAAAAAAAec/d_NBgSJRr5o/s1600-h/James_Martha.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059442039172440674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/Rja_uoKNImI/AAAAAAAAAec/d_NBgSJRr5o/s200/James_Martha.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is my friday night.

Much easier this time. I think my disgust for chewing tobacco keeps my mind off the lack of drinking. My distaste for “cowboy gum” is similar to many people’s aversion to some of my favorite liquids, namely, whiskey and tequila.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whiskey gets a bad rap for its “angry” or “fighting booze” image. I don’t think that this is fair, and I will kick you teeth out if say this in front of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tequila gets a bad rap because people say, “I get crazy on that stuff; I shouldn’t.” Correction; you should, and you should do it quickly. The reason we just offered you tequila is because you are boring the shit out of us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miss you friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14 days left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2964336739175139362-8170020785235692720?l=soberbonath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/feeds/8170020785235692720/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2964336739175139362&amp;postID=8170020785235692720' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/8170020785235692720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/8170020785235692720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/2007/04/day-thirty-two.html' title='Day Thirty Two'/><author><name>Saint James</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://a304.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/38/l_1f66e8dea8395e5fd80fa210a22bed97.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RjKlq4KNIlI/AAAAAAAAAeU/Y6by-jybXqk/s72-c/holdem.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964336739175139362.post-7877822071300623474</id><published>2007-04-25T18:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T09:14:47.232-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Day Thirty One</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RjKle4KNIkI/AAAAAAAAAeM/8qQjzNsn34g/s1600-h/IPass_Shot.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5058287281380336194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RjKle4KNIkI/AAAAAAAAAeM/8qQjzNsn34g/s200/IPass_Shot.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I just picked up an I-Pass today. I think I might be the last Illinois driver to do this. I just had a hard time giving into the convenience due to my conspiracy theory mind (These last sentences had a lot of “I’s”). This device monitors your passing though the tolling stations and only needs to use simple math to calculate your speed. It’s just a matter of time before they start to mail out tickets to hapless commuters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from that, the efficiency got me to think about my drinking. I-Pass is the shot glass of the drinking world. It gets you where you were headed quicker. Sure you can stop at the manual booth (drinking beers) but, when you come to accept why you got on that road in the first place, you’ll go for the I-Pass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;15 days left&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2964336739175139362-7877822071300623474?l=soberbonath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/feeds/7877822071300623474/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2964336739175139362&amp;postID=7877822071300623474' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/7877822071300623474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/7877822071300623474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/2007/04/day-thirty-one.html' title='Day Thirty One'/><author><name>Saint James</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://a304.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/38/l_1f66e8dea8395e5fd80fa210a22bed97.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RjKle4KNIkI/AAAAAAAAAeM/8qQjzNsn34g/s72-c/IPass_Shot.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964336739175139362.post-5952036838547965305</id><published>2007-04-24T18:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T09:14:47.468-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Day Thirty</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/Ri6tZYKNIjI/AAAAAAAAAeE/8XQpRMHEPlY/s1600-h/Sweetin_cakes.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057170083077235250" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/Ri6tZYKNIjI/AAAAAAAAAeE/8XQpRMHEPlY/s400/Sweetin_cakes.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Good news, for people, who love good news and booze! &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/Ri6sroKNIhI/AAAAAAAAAd0/MEKB6egxp4o/s1600-h/AP_CoffeeBenefits.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;CHICAGO - Coffee may counteract alcohol’s poisonous effects on the liver and help prevent cirrhosis, researchers say. In a study of more than 125,000 people, one cup of coffee per day cut the risk of alcoholic cirrhosis by 20 percent. Four cups per day reduced the risk by 80 percent. The coffee effect held true for women and men of various ethnic backgrounds.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/Ri6sZ4KNIgI/AAAAAAAAAds/QN84FM5ERnA/s1600-h/Sweetin_cakes.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;t appears that my prior weekend escapades were negated by my addiction to another substance.

Not to get drunk, just because it fits. A wake is one of these occasions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;My uncle Nicky passed away this weekend and his wake was today. Everyone liked him; In fact, I can’t recall him without a smile on his face. He was a barber until he retired. A barber in the true sense, barber’ pole, smock, old guys sitting around for no reason, the works. I used to get all my haircuts at his shop when I was young. I still remember him and that place, vividly. Even his smell. After I was done getting my haircut, he’d kiss me goodbye on my cheek. He always smelled of a talc/comb sterilizer combination and his scruff felt like sandpaper. I mean, he must have had a twelve o’ clock shadow.

I must have consumed about 8-10 glasses of water during the evening. Surprisingly, this would have been around the same number of drinks I would have had if I were indulging in the adult sodas. So is it just that simple? I need liquid and I’m going to cram it in no matter the flavor?

Top five responses have been:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sounds pretty gay!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Did you get a DUI?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I think you’re doing it backwards; you need to build up to Vegas.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You will die in Vegas.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wow, yeah I should try and do that for a while.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;My response:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Incorrect. The gay populations are drinkers. They are proud supporters of the wine and martini industry. Also, rainbows, hair products, and your gym. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No I did not. I find that drunken cab rides are far to entertaining to pass up.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I think at the rate I was building up to Vegas; Vegas would have been the least of my worries.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;As long as it’s via white tiger…I’m OK with that.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don’t, because as soon as I’m done with this experiment I’ll need you for moral support.

Yeah, not so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;From IMDB:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Four middle-aged men (Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H. Macy) decide to take a road trip from Cincinnati to the Pacific in order to get away from their lives which are leading them nowhere. Taking their motorcycles, these "Wild Hogs" tear up the road and eventually stop in New Mexico for a drink not knowing that the bar belongs to the "Del Fuegos", a mean biker gang. When the Del Fuegos steal a bike that belongs to the Wild Hogs, the four men form a plan to steal their bike back. Written by Glenn D.

I was reading up on Kurt Vonnegut’s life, because of his death. His extraordinary life illuminates his writing; Slaughterhouse-Five being one of, if not the most, prominent of his works. I’m certain that last sentence structure would have caused Mr. Vonnegut to shit himself. However, this spawned the thought of time travel, which then became &lt;em&gt;Donnie Darko&lt;/em&gt;, which then became &lt;em&gt;Tangent Universe theory&lt;/em&gt;, which then became &lt;em&gt;The&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Manipulated Living&lt;/em&gt;, which then begat Job. Wait, scratch that last one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“In the book Philosophy of Time Travel, it clearly states that The Manipulated Living, or the people who still reside and live within the Tangent Universe&lt;/em&gt; (This non-drinking experiment), &lt;em&gt;must interact with the Living Receiver&lt;/em&gt; (Me) &lt;em&gt;in order to fulfill his/her task of closing the tangent for good&lt;/em&gt; (Getting back to drinking). &lt;em&gt;Usually they are close friends or in some instances family of the Receiver &lt;/em&gt;(You folks).”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, try as I might, it is you, my friends, who will bring me back to reality.

Unlike my resolve. I will hold strong, much like in my college days, but the reverse. You see Wednesdays were Gatsby's days.

Good flick. Some people got up after the first part and left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overheard from the couple leaving halfway through: &lt;em&gt;"That was the worst movie I've ever seen."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This movie is an homage to the grind house films of the 1970's. It's supposed to suck. Kind of like your relationship, couple that doesn't get it. Now enjoy complaining to each other how much you hated it while you drive home. Don't forget to feed the cats before you go to bed. They seemed like cat people, and I bet they wear matching pajamas ...that smell like cat piss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I digress. I actually laughed a lot. The part I didn't find funny was the bar scene in &lt;em&gt;Death Proof. &lt;/em&gt;Wow, that made me miss drinking. Damn you Tarantino! Although, that's his M.O. Bringing back actors that you tried to forget about and then you realized you've missed them all along.

The weekends are going to be the true test of my resolve. So far so good though. I went to dinner with my Father, who I believe, might be more Catholic then the pope. During my trip to the bathroom (inspired by the 5 cups of Dunkin Donuts coffee I drank earlier) I heard the most beautiful whistle. The gentleman in the stall next to me had no idea how beautiful his siren song was that led my browns to the Superbowl.

Every Thursday night we have people over to our place to play Texas hold 'em. Everyone drinks and has a good time, except this night, no drinking for me. Now I'm not a superstitious person, and I love my dog, but anytime Barkley gets near someone they're going to loose that hand. He's now considered bad luck at this house. I have decided to augment his diet a bit due to this. Nothing but Lucky Charms, Shamrock Shakes, and rabbit's feet for him. He'll either be stuffed full of the luck of the Irish or shitting every 5 seconds; which will keep him away from me during cards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;42 days left.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2964336739175139362-2237154838715220403?l=soberbonath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/feeds/2237154838715220403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2964336739175139362&amp;postID=2237154838715220403' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/2237154838715220403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964336739175139362/posts/default/2237154838715220403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://soberbonath.blogspot.com/2007/03/day-four.html' title='Day Four'/><author><name>Saint James</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://a304.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/38/l_1f66e8dea8395e5fd80fa210a22bed97.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/Rg2y_sE1ZiI/AAAAAAAAAGc/4C5pEbKcjts/s72-c/DSCN0329.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964336739175139362.post-3191655445789129477</id><published>2007-03-28T18:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T09:14:54.800-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Day Three</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RhMTTDmtGKI/AAAAAAAAAHs/R1iUXcsy_g0/s1600-h/lumbergh1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5049400825318545570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BN4JXPXdZmw/RhMTTDmtGKI/AAAAAAAAAHs/R1iUXcsy_g0/s200/lumbergh1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting locked out of your car = embarrassment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Doing so in front of your boss after a meeting with clients = shame&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Having your boss drive you to your Dad's house to get a spare set of keys = optomistic shame&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dad not being home and having your boss drive you back to the clients office = just kill me now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add to that someone break checking you on the way to another client and spilling hot coffee all over you and your paperwork.
