Seems like every weekend there’s always something to go to. Damn it, why do I have to be so popular?

Unscheduled Bender Of a Weekend
Doesn’t it always seems to happen? You don’t plan on having a very big weekend, you just expect to have a few drinks, some idle chitchat, shits and giggles then go home. What you actually get is a 2 day bender where you end up staying over and having more fun than planned.
Typically I find that I like these situations in some ways better than going out on the town. Of course it all depends on how you feel at the time as to what you would enjoy. Anyway, I won’t go into too much detail on what happened, I’m sure a thread on TS will popup about it.
Money can’t buy you love

Having a discussion on The Scene about career choices for a full and satisfying life, and the subject of money has cropped up. Admittedly this is my fault, as I have differing views on the subject than most people. Namely, most people get the idea that their career should be something they love so they can work from the age of 18 to 65 being happy at what they love doing.
I’m all fine with that, however, I don’t believe someone should use that as an excuse to work like a slave for a mere pittance of a salary. I would rather someone learn how to make money work for them, become rich and then do what they love doing, when they want to. Thanks to the school system, people are raised to become employees, slaves, and are given the notion that wanting to be rich is bad, dirty, evil, greedy, etc.
I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be comfortable.
That is a perfectly fair statement, if you’re happy with it, then go for it. I do not like the idea however, that when someone says they want to be rich that they are then seen as greedy and less spiritually “pure”. And often the arguement is Money doesn’t buy happiness
. Certainly, money doesn’t buy happiness. However I’m sure being poor and depressed is worse than being rich and depressed.

Isn’t it odd. How something like alcohol can change a generally quiet person into someone who can me a bit more social. In other words, social lubricants, the thing is they’re things that don’t raise someone’s intelligence, humor, or wit. Basically they increase a person’s apparent self-confidence. But is this self-confidence a result of the alcohol itself, or the fact you could try blaming the fact your were drunk on any stupid thing you said?
It seems that a person’s perception of how others see them, either friend or complete stranger is what really makes it happen. Because despite what a person thinks, the public image of them is completely irrelevant unless they’re a politician or actor and their public image is their value.
Despite the amount of times I’ve been drunk, and surely said stupid things that weren’t funny, my friends attitude towards me has never changed. Or at least I’ve never noticed it.
Lesson for today, stop worrying about people think about you, act naturally and conversation will flow much more easier.
