CANADA
we're all decked out. suits and gowns in the banquet hall. i purchase a glass of wine and sit down. a lovely mushroom-stuffed chicken breast is served with mashed potatoes. there's a young man at the podium in a tuxedo...
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! GET A DRINK AND SIT DOWN! Aaron, sit the fuck down...Chris, you too! For those of you who have just come in, get a damn drink and sit down." someone retorts and tux at the podium responds, "talk to me when you get a fucking date!"
...where am...i?
the red carnation ball. there's a series of video clips shown depicting an excess of alcohol consumption. people waking up with their bodies covered in marker. chocolate wrestling, twister, sex position freeze tag. when there's something really good, the room rumbles with men pounding the tables. i look at brian and he is reveling in it all. rightfully. this is a walk down memory lane and it's obvious that all these men love their brothers. to have such a lengthy, ricockulous history and sense of belonging...
i mean, this is love...
it was a lot of fun. we went clubbing and to a little bar and, for the first time, i had an amazing drinking experience. that is a big deal for me.
alcohol and i met each other and immediately did not get along well. despite this animosity, we continued to find ourselves attending the same parties and mingling until i decided to stop drinking. i was never good at breaking alcohol down and i didn't like feeling drunk. more than a year later, i'm in this beautiful club in canada and what do i see but alcohol...and it is looking good. ...let's start again.
