I know I said I would do a complaint a day and a random thoughts post for the day, but I just had to add this complaint on as well, half way to procrastinate before I spend my Friday afternoon in the library.
I was riding the Gold bus today, on the way to the gym. Yes, I ride the bus to the gym. Do you see the irony? Anyway, so I was sitting in between some kid with his ipod on and then a bunch of guys talking about alcohol. And they reminded me drinking alcohol makes them men. They didn't turn to me and say this, but I could tell by their predictable comments and casuality in their voice when boasting, that they thought they were special and real men.
I am talking about when guys have to recount how much they drank the night before or on some particular incident. Or how alcohol does or doesnt make them be a certain way. Why is it that a guy can tell you the exact amount of beer, jello shots and aristocrat shots he had one night a month ago, but can't remember what you said five minutes ago? Then why when talking with their friends do they have to talk about how much they had?
Why can't the conversation only state, I got really drunk last night and I macked on this sweet bitch. When in reality, you know the guy blacked out, pissed himself and pissed everyone else off, and isnt allowed to return to that house ever again, but thats not important.
I find that girls do it too. "I drank a whole fifth last night!" "I put away an entire case on my own." WOW. That's awesome, did all of your make up smear off too and your hair get really frizzy and you hit on some really ugly kid you wouldnt usually talk to?
Why do people have to comment on how much they drank. Cool, you went out and drank, I'm down with that and I don't care that you got drunk. Thats what drinking is for anyway, isn't it? But why recant how much you drank? When you tell me that you had 13 beers, 5 jello shots, smoked 2 bowls and then finished it off with something out of a random bottle, that doesn't make me think you're the man, it makes me think you're a few weeks away from a beer belly and alcoholism.
So with Friday night only hours away from starting, remember when you're doing keg stands, emptying cans and trying to get laid, that tomorrow I only wanna hear if you got laid by that gross girl with herpes or not, not how much you could put away.
A quote I heard once sums this all up : "Real men (or women) don't count."
