Seeing as how I live in the middle of bloody nowhere, Ive got plenty of time to invest on self improvement projects. Ive titled my latest The campaign to reclaim my brain. Basically, it comes down to the fact that Ive recently decided on going back to school as a grad student and I think the many years of abuse on my poor little mind have started to take their toll. Lets just say that I dont feel like the quickest of cats at the best of times. So, with that in mind, Ive recently decided to reduce my intake of alcohol and other mind numbing agents. I know, I know, it seems so wrong, but I must say that I havent cut myself off completely (I tried that once, lasted about 3 days). The plan is to just not drink when I have something to do or for no reason at all other than plain old habit. So, basically, during the week, when I have to work on my thesis, I hold off and then get rip roaring drunk on the weekends.
Im going on two weeks now and I must say that Im finding that dealing with life in a state of full consciousness is a real bitch. Im seriously beginning to remember why it was that I started drinking a lot in the first place. The most obvious impact of this decision has come up when dealing with family. I cant seem to be able to talk to them without getting really fucking pissed. Then again, my mother once told me she liked me better when I drink
... i need a stiff drink
