~ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence? ~

     I’ve never really been the clubbing type. I rarely party, although I do enjoy dancing. I drink occassionally, but I’ve never really gotten drunk. Tipsy, yes. Kinda strange to lose your sense of balance and watch the world tilt side to side… Blacked-out-can’t-remember-what-I-did-last-nite-drunk… no. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live life in the “fast lane”, fast women included, of course… and I think it would probably be something like the song I included below. I like the song and the fact that it talks about a lifestyle completely contrary to what I enjoy; doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the music…

== Alcohol by Barenaked Ladies ==

Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your health

I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol.
Forget the caffe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G&T for me
Alcohol, Your songs resolve like my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill

I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol.
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself, I’ll use something else

I thought that alcohol was just for those with nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there’s a time and there’s a place where I can choose to walk the fine line between self-control and self-abuse

I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol.
Would you please ignore that you found me on the floor trying on your camisole?
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself, I’ll use something else.

Would you please forgive me
Would you please forgive me

Thanks for the support. It’s good to know that there’s actually people reading, learning… fellowship of a fashion…
