Showed Up To Work Drunk and I Don't Get It Either

in #life6 years ago

I've been quiet on here lately. In life though, I don't think I've ever been louder.

I Don't Get It Either

I think

I've been having too much fun.

Life's been interesting. So interesting in fact, that I thought it would be a good time to start drinking again.

This is the good kind of drinking though. It's the forget about everything for a few days, sit around campfires, enjoy the company of good people kind of drinking.

One night I tried so damn hard to embarrass my eldest daughter. She was hanging out with her cool friends so I sat down with them, just so I could study young people and see what makes them tick. For some strange reason though, everything I said was making them laugh. Unfortunately, I can't remember much of what I said. Way too drunk.

The next night,

we set up the fireworks.

I think about $500 exploded up into the night sky. I was in charge of holding the light this year, so that was cool. I also helped plant a few into the ground. Every year I do that, at least one falls over and wants to take me out. People really like fireworks, but sometimes I think they like watching me scramble and run for my life more.

Then after the show, my cousin gave me the code word. So that's when I found myself behind the shed with her and my uncle, smoking a joint.

That stuff screwed me right up. I spent the rest of the night laying on a bed, with my eyes closed, wondering how I could still see all these fancy colors and cool shapes. It was a personal fireworks show, I guess. That legal stuff is a bit stronger than what I was used to smoking. I woke up a few hours later, it was already morning, and I was still wearing pants, so that means the night was good and I'll have no regrets.

And then

the night after that.

This was my opportunity to sit around with the older crowd. Some relatives of mine, all in the their late 60's, early 70's.

What's interesting about that, is the fact we were all drinking, having fun, and passing the weed around. Ever since they legalized this stuff here in Canada, old people smoke weed. They're freakin' hilarious too. Of course I had them roaring as well. I don't think I've ever seen my own mom laugh so hard.

So yeah.

This is either day four or day five.

I don't even know how many days I've been fucked up. This is what summer vacations and family time is for though. I'm not the only one here who's confused about how it's already Tuesday.

I have a cold beer in my hand, except for when I pause the drinking, so I can type these words.

These words exist here today so you'll know everything is fine on my end, even though I've been a bit quiet around this community here on the land of internets.

I'm not dead, just drunk. I usually stay away from these crazy contraptions when I'm drinking, but I'm still wearing pants so it's not bad.

I might be quieter than usual here for the next few days as well. There's still a lot visiting and parties to enjoy. This might go on for another week, I'll see. Just going with the flow.

The art?

Yeah. I Don't Get It Either

Me showing up here, drunk, is what I was talking about.

Take of your pants already. Sheeesh.

No way, Jose. Then I'd have to spend an entire morning looking for the damn things.

Oh yeah, I forgot you Canucks do the Independence thing a few days before us lol. I'm about to be where you are, drunk for days in a drunken daze, heading to Vermont to camp at my cousins and make the rounds with my brother and company- the alcohol and weed will abound for us too, woot!

Is Canuck derogatory? I just realized I have no idea if there's something offensive about that term!

Canuck is derogatory when used derogatorily. Some US citizens will use it when visiting, thinking it's an insult. They'll usually place the word dumb in front of it. Most in the know will know it's just like calling an Australian and Aussie or a New Zealander a Kiwi. Nothing politically incorrect about the term, until some psychopath tries to ruin it.

That sounds like magic drink, the kind I can fully get behind. Enjoy man, we have to seize these moments/times.

There's a lot of that magic stuff floating around, that's for sure. I don't get too many opportunities to cut loose in life. Better not waste a second of it.

That picture up there looks like it might be the fireworks you were seeing while lying down. I would peg you to see a ghostly figure trotting about your fireworks.

July is the best month: grass that grows like weeds always tickling the ankles, insects singing their hearts out, heat that just sits comfortably on your skin, and those colorful sparks of light shooting up to the treetops from the neighbor's house. July just never gets old.

It's pretty damn close to what I was seeing. I was quite impressed with that show but I don't think I could go there every day.

July is pretty damn cool.

Sounds like you are doing it right. Wish I had some weed fireworks.

Feels about right. I spend majority of my life clean and sober, often far too busy. It's good to put it all down. Fireworks are getting to be too damn expensive here, and I heard the weed is too. Good memories are still free.

Here weed is still illegal abd treated like it is crack unfortunately. One day I will visit you and we can get baked and watch the hockey.

I remember those dark days where everyone had to keep it a secret.

Getting baked and watching hockey sounds like a good plan.

In charge of holding the light huh? Sounds like you’re some sort of Titan, standing on a mountain top holding a bolt of lightning. It probably wasn’t quite like that but it’s a better image for me than you holding a torch steady whilst someone lights a fuse with a zippo. Hurling lightening bolts is way more legit.

Shitty job, but someone had to do it. Good thing I was there because uncle was using a lit propane torch to light the fuses, half drunk, and not really paying attention. He lit one accidentally, by running the flame alongside the stick of explosive goodness. That one made one hell of a bang. I suggest nobody tries it. I save the lightning bolt hurling for those occasions when I can't seem to move.

And it becomes part of the family lore. I read this and remembered my dad talking about when they could buy dynamite. Something about blasting a pit for an outhouse and running in terror.

Wait...I don't get it.

'Ghost in a cave', the artwork, a lot of THC can make those appear. For me it was a voice, no fun there though.

Have a great time.
