Be drunk

be drunk

You have to be always drunk. That's all there is to it - it's the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk. But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. But be drunk. ~ C. Baudelaire

To one of my favorite poets of all time. Here's to you. Cheers! I will get drunk.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, it is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver. ~Jack Handey

I will keep those in mind and more instinctively think about you and your wonderful thoughts when the time comes that i drink too much and i am starting to roll and puke. i will also think about you amd blame you for it. hahaha! but anyhow, thanks and it was nice reading you here (again).
