Pub Crawl Attempts That Never Quite Got Off the Ground

The Blindfolded Bar Hop

You guessed it everyone is blindfolded and drunk stumbling from bar to bar running into people, spilling and ultimately getting into a fight or hit by a car. Not a pretty scene.

The Laces Out Liquor Limp

Now this sound like a fun time until you realize you have signed up and not thought this all the way through. The concept is you have a team of four people. Every person has their shoes tied to the person next to them. All four people form a chain of tied shoes. Then teams of four race from bar to bar having a descending drinking contest.
For Example -

Starting Line - Shot of Tequila...then you are off....

First bar = Shot of whiskey and a full glass of water
Second Bar = Shot of Vodka and a full glass of water
Third Bar = Shot of Malibu and a full glass of water
Four Bar = You call it mix drink and a full glass of water
Fifth Bar = Pitcher of Beer and a full glass of water
Six Bar = Pint of beer and a full glass of water

First team where all four people drink the said drinks at each bar wins.

Why the water you ask? Did I mention the teams have to be co-ed.

This makes the full blatter problem of four people tied together in downtown Minneapolis a little more exciting, not to mention it is hard as shit to be drunk and tied to a drunk person next to you.

Ramadan Marches Towards Summer 10 Days @ a Time

Every year Muslim people around the world celebrate Ramadan. Every year Ramadan begins approximately 10 days earlier then the year before due to the differences in the solar year and the lunar year. It occurred to me that in 2015 Ramadan will be occurring during the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. This is rather significant since the faithful must fast from sun up to sun down. Just thought that was interesting.

Murder Suicide as a Financial Planning Tool

It seems like you can't open a paper these days without reading about some financially stressed out parent murdering their whole family and then murdering themselves.

This fascinates me to know end for some reason probably because I know that feeling when all else just seems so hopeless, what it feels like to disappoint someone you love and be seen as a failure in their eyes.

There is nothing more heartbreaking then not being able to fulfill the needs of someone you love.

I just don't see the need to take the rest of the people with you though?

I mean if these people just kill themselves don't their families get social security checks at the level of income they had before?

i know kind of a morbid way to get a government pension but I wonder if they ever thought about it?

Weekend ReCap

Friday

Like millions of Americans I jumped in my car after work today and dashed across the countryside for the long weekend. Unlike millions of Americans my car was packed with a Super Model, 2 cats and a dog. Kind of a moving Ringling Circus crossing the Wisconsin country side. People often ask me why I go so much, I guess it is the free popcorn at doggers, the distance away from all of the distractions in my life, a retreat of focus, but mostly I think it is joy of the augmented family it provides that is missing in my own life.

Saturday

Read: Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk at one time my favorite author but now just a passing curiously. Lately I feel like I am going through a city that used to be great, searching for that glimpse that the spark is still there and being disappointed. It was a decent read and it kept my attention but no longer worthy of the cult status laid out before him.

Sat and stared into the abyss of life not only did it stare back but it pulled a gun on me and demanded money. Guess this is what happens when you are day drinking...lol

Thankfully the Twins were playing the Brewers otherwise you have to kill someone to get the Twins game on in Wisconsin...seriously

Cursed myself for only picking up one book from the library.

Had my first mowing experience on a riding lawn mower and it was a blast.

Another Poor Generalization

Is there a comparable obsession men that rivals womens obsession with shoes?

Then it hit me...sports are shoes for mens.

Back in Action

For the first time in three weeks, I did not tear up at the simple motion of getting out of bed in the morning. My back has been killing me and as if by some magic combination of sleep sequence I have arisen this morning with no pain what so ever in my back :)

I might be reversing course on my belief in gremlins

Times Side Effects

I have been waking up an extra hour early everyday to let the dog out and start the morning routine. It is amazing what you can do with an extra seven hours a week. Like get in a little 30 minute walk while sipping coffee and planning the day in front of you.

Running in Place

For the last three years I have been running in place more or less. No progress just barely mantaining my position while the speed keeps increasing. For a long time I was really tired and just wanted to stop, but today I woke up and looked down and it was maxed all the out, the speed was open as far as it could go and I am still running:) I am still here. I will still be here 10 years from now. There is nothing more that can be done to me. No more hands that can touch the speed except for mine. And all i have to do is keep this pace up and as the treadmill slows down I am going to begin to make progress and when finally stops you will see flames and dust in the wake I make filling in for lost time.
