THE CAUSE OF AND SOLUTION TO ALL OF LIFE'S PROBLEMS; OR AN ODE TO BEER

Why is beer so good? I love beer. I am currently sitting alone in my apartment listening to some Merle Haggard (I think I will stay here in and Drink) and drinking Corona con lima, and my mood is steadily improving. I have felt like total crap for the last 24 hours but but a cold one in my hand and play some that old honky music and all of life's shit just fades away. I think I may or may not be an alcoholic, and I am cool with that.

I am currently sitting in my apartment drinking a Corona and feeling pretty good about my decision to drink despite the lack of company and/or drinking buddies. Everyone is gone for Spring Break in the Merce so I am left all alone. Speaking of which where is my Hispanic drinking buddy when I really need her? Oh well her loss. Just for the record, "Grandpa Tell Me About the Good Old Days" by the Judds is one damn fine song to drink to. Billy Joe Royal is also very underrated drinking music. If you are unfamiliar with Billy Joe Royal then you must run out immediately and download/buy "Till I can't take it anymore." You should also check out Old Crow Medicine Show "Wagon Wheel" while you are at it. Retro-Blue Grass is the shiznit.

Crystal and I are leaving for another round of doctor's appointments at MD some time tomorrow (given my current mood hopefully not too early). We are thinking of going to Galveston for the weekend and kicking it. I think that is a really good idea. Hopefully I can convince her that sitting on the beach getting blasted, and watching the tide roll in is a good idea. That would be pretty cool. Plus I am sure there has to be SOME spring breakers there. Plus I really need a vacation. However I do feel better than yesterday. If the bell were to ring today I could answer and answer with vigor so I am recupperating rapidly. Ahh beer how I pine for you...

Just a quick aside about the above picture: The person holding the corona has an almost disalarmingly fat hand. I thought they hired attractive hand models for this type of work? This doesn't really make me want a Corona in fact it leads me to believe I may be struck with chronic fat hand syndrome if I drink said beer.
