Ok… Well, two out of three ain’t bad. I’m hanging at Drew’s place. We’re geeking out, pretending we are accomplishing something, when actually all we are accomplishing is killing off his Private Stock Captain Morgan’s rum, which, by the way, is quite tasty! ARRR! And, it’s not even Talk Like A Pirate Day!

We just installed Windows Core, and found that we don’t have credentials to login… Yep, that’s right, it didn’t give us a place to set up our Admin account… DOH! More likely, we missed it in our drunken stupor… YAY for drunken stupors! :) Boo for work in the morning!

Christ… As my counterpart here so eloquently put it, “Welcome to the club. You are officially an old man now.”

This was a response to my complaining that my head hurt and also probably the fact that I look like I rode into work on a stray tornado. No, I don’t mean I look like Buffalo Bill. I look more like Mr. Bill! OH NOOOOOO!

Anyway, the old team from AOL got together and went out last night to throw back some drinks and catch up on life. Much like we used to do on a regular basis for our “Team Days”. Looked good on paper. After all, it was quite enjoyable every other time. Not that it wasn’t enjoyable this time. It was great to see all the friendly faces, and see how life has changed in the last year.

In the spirit of the old days, I decided to smoke a few cigarettes, and throw back a couple three (or five?… don’t remember) vodkas. Well, today I am paying for it. Paying for it, like it was Mexico and I just downed a liter of the shit. Can someone tell me what I enjoyed so much about getting my drink on? Because from my current vantage point, it sucks ass.

Anyway, again it was good to see everyone. But next time I’m pushing that we hang at Starbucks instead of the bar. ;)

I just wanted to give a shout out to the guys at Guy Cast. I recently planted the seed for The Soju Experience with them. They talked about it on their latest cast, and one of the guys bit and said he’s going to do his damndest get a bottle of this toxic waste turned dinnertime drink for the next cast. It should be noted his counterpart on the show did display a bit of hesitance… Obviously he’s the smarter of the two. But, he caved by the end of the show. Go with god, my friends.

I forgot to mention to them, they should probably have someone there who doesn’t partake of the wonderful drink. Most day after soju stories start with the words, “Well, I don’t remember, but I’m told that I…” I’d say 80% of the time I’ve had a lapse of reason and drank this vile crap, I’ve blacked out. Anyway, good luck, gentlemen!

Lastly, if you haven’t checked out Guy Cast, I’d recommend it if you are a podcast junkie. Definitely one of the top shows out there. :)

Drinking and Guitar Hero don’t mix… It takes you back to high school days. LOL!!

Well, Heidi’s been gone now for about a week… ONLY A WEEK!? It feels about 4 times longer than the entirety of the last time she left for Iowa… We’ve been talking everyday, and apparently they are having a great time out there. Apparently she is going to someone’s house who is hosting a thing with Barak Obama (hope I spelled that right), which is pretty cool. Not so much cool like a fast rollercoaster cool, but more like watching an ant farm cool…

Boy, my house is lonely without them around. Ok, it’s time for you to come home, honey!!! :) I miss you!

In other news. Friday night I took a friend from work out for his first soju experience. It’s my duty as a soju connoisseur to bring experienced drinkers into the brotherhood. It’s always fun to watch them scoff at the alcohol percentage, and then hear their story the next day. It usually goes something like this, “What happened after 8pm?” AHhh soju, how I hate to love you.

So, I decided to pass along a post I’ve found on a bunch of blogs. Whoever wrote this originally really hit the nail on the head with their description of “The Soju Experience.” I’ve been talking a lot about soju lately, so I thought it fitting to post this. It’s accurate, and hilarious! Enjoy! I’d love to credit the original author, but as far as I can tell it’s author unknown…

Wanna read the rest of The Soju Experience?
