Any of you old-timers remember my interview questions from my pledging days? One of my favorites was, “If you were surrounded by an infinite swarm of five-year-old kids, how many do you think you could take out before they overwhelmed you?”
Lately, I’ve been feeling like my problems are the infinite swarm, and alcohol is what I’ve been using to push them back. And it works… for a night. Or at least part of the night. But come sunrise, those munchkins have kicked my ass, without fail.
What’s the point? I seriously need to stop drinking. I no longer have the money or the health to make it work in the long term. Plus, it doesn’t even work that well… “social lubricant” my ass. (Wow, that could be seriously misinterpreted!)
Anyway, time to pass out. I wonder if I’ll remember this lesson in the morning.
