Fear and Loathing
I don’t know what other people think about this issue but I’m just going to give my two cents’ worth of opinion anyway.
Being drunk or high isn’t a reason for one, anyone, to:
1) hit on one’s gal friends,
2) hit on one’s friend’s girlfriend,
3) try to go physically further with the opposite sex / be all touchy-feely and refuse to stop,
4) be rough with people,
5) be an asshat,
6) insist and argue that one is alright for, what, 30 minutes and then literally fight one’s friends because they care about you enough to disallow you from driving home alone,
7) get angry with your friends because they wanted to drive you home,
shout vulgarities at all your friends in the driveway, so loudly that the neighbours could hear everything,
9) let one’s ego get in the way.
I am inexplicitly affected by this being high/drunk scenario recently; the first time things happened, there was fear, the second, anger. Far be it for me to preach and be all self-righteous, but right from the beginning, I never believed that being drunk or high gives people an excuse / opportunity to take advantage / do senseless things which may harm, affect or scare others. And then forget about everything. And then not having to apologise because they don’t remember it the next day. Oh well.
Anyway. It’s 5+ am and I’m tired and I don’t know why I’m blogging at this hour. So goodnight world.
