I've been trying to get home earlier the past weeks. The facts are simple. It's December, business is slow, and I just really want some time off for myself. I've also been spending more time with friends now especially since we already have the usual Sunday get-together thing. It's nice to have some normalcy when people just keep going in and out of your life.
I was talking to the Developer tonight and we maybe spent an hour on the phone, discussing about his subdivision as well as his take on marriage. He didn't say it per se, but the sentiment was definitely there. Marriage is an ugly thing if you don't know what you're getting into. Youthful folly, I suppose, especially when you're the type who bathes the world in a rosy afterglow.
It's something you have to be really certain about as well as something you have to work on. It is never perfect. I joked about being single forever, because of all the things he told me. He told me that it doesn't matter that you're disillusioned--only that you are aware of what you will be dealing with and prepared for it.
He married a beauty queen and she was never happy.

Here's to friends and beer. Just one bottle to get that happy buzz. Not two.. or three--especially if I don't want to wake up in pain tomorrow. Besides, everyone knows I'm a poor drunk. I don't even remember half the things I said the last time.
