Sober Saturday night

Today me and my friend Jenn had gone to a restaurant in Costa Mesa called Memphis, and I had two bloody mary's, a bison burger and she had this awesome tasting coffee cocktail and a chorizo skillet plate. Both things are were freakin awesome, and I definitely plan on being back.

We then went shopping for clothes, bought some stuff, and then had dinner at Red Robin, around this time My buddy Dave texted and told me that he wanted to get "F''d up, I wasn't too sure since I was sorta on the sober wagon, and I know Jenn didn't want to drive. So I volunteered to be the sober driver.

Now first off, when I am sober and everyone around me is drunk , I become the biggest asshole known to man kind. I mean I'm an asshole already but put me in a situation like that and I'll REALLY be an asshole. So we decided to go to Rembrandt's Restaurant/Lounge to see Phil Shane who is quite possibly the BEST lounge ever, next to Eddy Day of course. It was a a good time. Surprisingly I was not that much of an asshole, and sort of had a good time all while being sober at the same time. I t is new to me and I'm going to try to make it a habit.

Another sleepless night

This is starting to become cumbersome, I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour and all I do is lay there in the dark, then since I can't fall asleep, I'll turn the light on and read until i feel tired. I'll try going to sleep again, and like last night I did, but then laughed to something I was dreaming of and that woke up and I couldn't fall back asleep, so I just went online and browsed around until I felt tired. Eventually I fell asleep at like 5 something, but that totally ruins my sleep pattern, and I end up sleeping up till noon which doesn't help my productivity levels one bit.

I've tried reading, watching tv, browsing online, drinking "slepy time" tea, even smoked some pot hoping that;ll help. Nope, nothing.

Starting Anew

Since I last posted on here, somethings have happened. I got intoxicated in LA/Hollywood on Thursday June 27, and have pretty much stayed away from booze since that night. I've had a few drinks here and there but nothing like what I normally take in.

The with-drawls were somewhat minimal, a few days/nights of shaking and sweating but after that, I was high flying. My brain was working in higher capacity, I was on my toes, full of energy and felt like I could take on the world. Is it because of the lack of booze? I tend to think so. My friends aren't going to be too happy about this change, but it's better for me. I was spending way too much money on going out and getting plastered, plus it affected work and school. No more spending my nights at bars, instead ill be having nice dinners, and spending time reading, watching movies, hitting the gym, or hanging out at a coffee house.

I feel like almost a new/different person, if I was in a movie I probably would have gone out on a run and it would have been pouring rain on me, or maybe I was running at the beach and for some reason I decided to just jump into the ocean for a little swim, sort of like a baptism sort of thing. You know what I mean, a la Shawshank Redemption.

So here I am starting this week on a high note, ready to take on the world. Preparing myself mentally and physically. To educate myself, and learn new things (this is starting to sound like (Star Trek). On a final note, I signed up to play hockey at Anaheim Ice, should be a good season, if any of you wanna go see me fall, let me know.

28 and nearing 30, And spending time with friends that have families makes me think. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be starting a family? Should I be married and have kids? I'm too you to have a mid life crisis!!
