I'm sure we have all had regrets, I know I have. I have two metal plates in my hand because of booze. Punched a brick wall after playing pool actually in excitement, yet turned to disaster. One time in the dorms some girls slipped a note under my door calling me out on how I hurt her feelings when I was super drunk, and basically blacked it out that I didn't remember the conversation or ever meeting her. Went and apologized to her, even though I didn't remember anything. Been to jail multiple times over alcohol. One time I was down in New Orleans on New Years eve when I was 19 and sneaking into bars. Was too drunk to get in one, so my friends went in, and I wandered off into the ghetto apparently. Don't remember, but my lawyer said I was trying to get into homes to take a piss, and the cops came. Next thing I remember I was in jail. They say SOBER stands for son of a bitch everything's real. At least once you sober up and realize what you did.
Classic quote from cheers:
A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”
I can relate to this so much but even though I don't believe in god I must have guardian angels or something because I seem to be the luckiest drunk ever when I did outrageous things when I was younger.
I don't want to go into detail because it feels a bit weird admitting to what may or may not be crimes and what I may or may not have done. But when I've been outragously drunk I may or may not have done things involving accidentally breaking into huge city center office blocks with no alarms going off or any police showing up, more than once. . Stupidly launching things hard and fast through the air at crowds which have narrowly missed them but could have resulted in the serious injury to a lot of people. Stealing things of very little value just for fun. Sneaking into nightclubs and getting death threats from club security.
Seriously I don't even think lucky even covers what I may or may not have got away with relatively unscathed.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
