Go Ahead And Rub It

I'm talking about my freshly buzzed head. What did you think I meant? Hmmm. Anyways. That whole "one drink" rule, that's going to be a hard one to keep this week. And last night. Went out with some friends because people were visiting the city, so we had to show them how fun it was. I did keep my wits about me, however I had three beers. Which is more then one drink. I also put everyone's drinks on my tab, because I am a gentleman. I even dropped the girls at the door before I parked six blocks away and then ran without my coat down iced over sidewalks. The frostbite is worth it though to not have to have a bulky coat weighing you down all night. What we do to look good, right? Right. I have been keeping all the other rules though. And, like I said, it's going to be a slow process. A gradual process. I have been cooking up some delicious meals though. For instance: three cheese tortellini with sun dried tomato and basil mustard, fresh green peppers stuffed with fresh mushrooms and garbanzo beans, delicious red kidney beans with chopped green peppers and cheese, baked beans with elbow macaroni and cheese melted into it. So good. And so yummy. And so nutritious. I'm loving it. And eating it up. I have to reheat something before we all head out for the night. It's a friends birthday tomorrow. So this is night one of the celebrating. I'm going to try real hard to keep my money in check and stick to my one drink rule. But January is going to be hard a month for the drinking rule. Four birthdays! Four! And no one celebrates their birthdays these days for just one night. But, I'm not one to judge when it comes to that. Does any one remember the Extrava-Gaga-Ganza? Yeh, glass house. But everything else is going steady. Working out. Reading. Ohh, have I been reading. I'm re-reading "The Abs Diet" to brush up on my health and fitness knowledge. Also reading through "Psychology: Themes and Variations", it's an old textbook but I love that shit. Also need to hit up the library to get some Nick Hornby, Mark Haddon, Tom Perrota and I can't wait until Joshua Ferris' new book arrives. If it's anywhere as good as his first one, well, whoa! Sign me up now! So far, the only crap thing about today was that it took me an hour to drive home from work. But worse things could have happened. The fact that I'm listening to this song by Shakira makes up for it. "Men In This Town", it's sickly realistic to my life. Which is depressing, but the beat is perfect and she knows how to sing. I like it. Mucho.
