I don't know if you knew this, but I really like beer.

Originally published at Stretched . Please leave any comments there. Back in the city right now. Arrived here yesterday and am leaving tomorrow. I didn’t count on my first night back home... In the good way. And yet after all this I still can’t sleep. I’m headed back to the island tomorrow. Hopefully a few more days of berry picking and seeing the visiting family will do me some good.

I got dragged to a political party meeting last night. Yes, I know. I'm not political in the slightest and have a healthy distrust of politicians (can't trust them as far as I can throw them, really...of "Oh my god, you could rule the world. You could tell people  to do anything!" And I tell you, politics may not be my cup of tea but drunk politicians? Bring it on. Conservative my arse.

REPETITION... my night life as become a repetition of the same bars, the same ppl, the same dances. I need a release from all of this sometime soon or I will go to pieces. I've come to notice one way...different races, part taken and different events, and even run nude. I will admit that I am still learning new things everyday, but only bout 10% is in the classroom. I guess I just need a release...

А ведь есть там еще много интересного)) Итак, знакомьтесь: Страна - США (Сиэтл, штат Вашингтон) Стиль - Хефевайзен (Нефильтрвоанное пиво) Я вообще фанат пива такого типа, поэтому многие сорта...в том штате где варят, нигде найти такоу пиво практически невозможно. Поэтому приходится довольствоваться тем, что таки доходит до нашей деревушки. Данный экземпляр удивительно неплох! 3.8 из 5

OK, next time I drink beer with you, I expect you to have this toast exchange memorized:

3 c self-rising flour 1 12-oz can beer 3 tbsp sugar Stir all til well-mixed. Pour into buttered 9x5x3" loaf pan. Bake 1 hr at 350.

...an Oscar or a favourable decision from the referee. However, it was good to have a night out with a few lads from work. :) Its been a while since I've heard a chorus of "You fat bastard, you fat bastard, you fat bastard".  Aimed at the Oxford goalkeeper, not me. :P Remind me, why do I prefer Rugby...? Oh yes, they kick the shit out of each properly and I can have a beer while I watch. :)
