hit me with your best

so, last night, after i was somewhat violently thrown back to the 80s (is there any other way to be thrown back to the 80s?), I fell asleep on my futon fully clothed (boots, too) and woke up in a 330am daze still drunk. And unfortunately, after a quick perusal of the night’s picture gallery, the conclusion (foregone) is that no pictures are post-worthy (I’m either shooting off into some random corner of the cab/bar, or it’s just plainly non-post-able, as my judgment has ruled after recalling the censorship pleas from my past photo-post combo victims). so, for this blog post’s Moral Ineptitude Lesson, you’ll have to just believe me when I confirm that the last shot, indeed, is always the worst decision. Whether it is the climax of a night full of previous bad decisions, or the denouement, or, at worst, the start of more bad decisions, it is always that shot that lets you climb over the flimsy line from the fun side to the oh-no side.

speaking of shots and bad decisions, I read a little blurb in the paper today (yes, that was basically my 1 new year’s resolution – to get the weekend paper… and yes, I realize I am the world’s (1) biggest dork, and (2) laziest resolution-er (maybe next year’s resolution will be to do more crossword puzzles)) about how this church in Ballantyne is going to put come-to-church messages in the bottoms of shot glasses. I think they’re going to say something like, “give us a shot”, along with the church’s name… [insert Jim Halpert face here]. The church minister (or leader – I think it is one of those churches that deems itself progressive by way of simplified monikers (‘message’, not ‘sermon’) and the proliferation of contemporary christian music) said something like, he is 100% positive it will be controversial. Well, I don’t know about the controversy (this is America - we can find a way to make anything controversial), but, considering that there’s only really one demographic I know of that would even stop to look at their glasses after taking a shot, I’m just concerned that that church is going to have to start dealing with a lot of homeless old drunks. yeah, good luck with that.

Also, go GIANTS.
