Blue to gray to blacked out

Friday I gave out my gifts.  A bottle of red wine for my Principal, bottle of whiskey for my VP, beauty gift set for my teacher.


Their responses:



  • Principal - very excited, warm reception 

  • VP - "What's this for?"

  • Co-teacher - "Is this a bribe?"


Can no one throw me a bone!?!  


Later it was explained to me that recently there was a big bribery scandal in some of the schools, and some educators were let go from their jobs as a result.  So it seems somewhat fair that their response were what they were… but honestly!!!  


Another day that was not the greatest of my life, but then there is Soju and friends.  More Soju than a few friends should and can be able to handle, but our livers are young (some of ours!) and it makes for a good time.  Worries and hours just pass by and things look better and better.  Most of the night is forgotten though, Soju literally turns your brain to mush.  Conversations, jokes, moments - long bits of your life just seems to be erased.  Next thing you know you're half way home and realize your house keys are with the rest of your stuff in a subway station locker that is miles away, and you and some friends have to hold up in a motel for the night!  Soju fail and loving it!
