When ' it's been a while ' happens too often...


It has been a week since my last post. That isn't what I am referring to in my title. I am referring to the fact that I still feel shitty about what happened this last weekend(or what I was told happened).

Saturday night had all the ingredients for a great night. We had some Rosie's pizza, a great band was playing at the bar, but I got drunk. Not fun drunk, but don't remember drunk. Worst part is it really doesn't affect me near as much as the others around me that are unfortunate enough to have to be either related to me or dating me. I literally hate when I drink that much. I read this blog once, and it was very well put. And this last weekend, I definitely didn't see the edge coming, and went right over it.

To make a long story short; I took too many shots, made a fool out of myself, threatened to walk home (I know, what a classic drunk move), broke my door handle at my house somehow, and last but what made me most ashamed was the disrespect shown towards my girlfriend, my father and his establishment. Not in a verbal way, but by getting so out of hand and making them have to worry about me. I honestly don't know the next time I'll go back there.

All of my friends keep telling me I am making a huge deal out of nothing. Saying that getting drunk happens. Another friend of mine said, " Yeah, it has been a while since I've been that drunk!" laughing.

That is the problem. 'It's been a while' is starting to happen far too often.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
