Ok, I figured something out. This blog is for my friend, we’ll call him “Doug”. You see, I’ve written several blogs about drinking. As a good friend and Christian, he is concerned for me. I can’t blame him, sometimes I’m concerned for me too. I think I’ve figured it out. It’s 80s rock videos. When I slip and start watching 80s rock videos, I find myself dropping a lime in my coronoa. So apparently there is some odd symbiosis between 80s rock videos and beer.
I don’t know, have you watched an 80s rock video in a while? I’m talking big hair, big riffs, big exploitation. There is just something about it. I actually think it has more to do with missed opportunities. Probably like anyone aging rock star wannabe I play too much Guitar Hero and not enough guitar. So watching those videos takes me back to another time. But of course, when I go back there in my mind I remember what a good boy I was. Knowing now what kind of life I have, I realized I could have done more while still young and maybe I wouldn’t feel like I missed something.
Of course one could argue, that my life turning out so well was becase I didn’t get too crazy in my youth. But let’s face it, I’m not running for President, or Senator. I’m never going to be ultra rich. So who is going to go digging into my background to dig up my my dirt? No one! So having no dirt back there isn’t doing me any good.
On the other hand, I will never have to tell my kids to do as I say not as I did. I could never quite figure out how people could sit down with their kids and say, “well sweety, I don’t want you to smoke pot because when I toked up the dubbie, I really was regretting it inside, and I don’t want you to enjoy, I mean, make the same mistakes I did. . . .” I also wonder if when these parents find a quarter bag in their kids room, if they don’t want to roll one for old times sake?
Anyways, as I watch Night Ranger, Britney Fox and Damn Yankee videos here on my playlist, I find that they go down much better with some amber wheat and malted hops.
More to come

nice.........
But isn't "dubbie" spelled "doobie?" A "dubbie" sounds like something my kids played with in the bathtub when they were 4 years old. "Rubber dubbie, you're the one...."
