It's like... you know.... Noah's Ark

I just got done with a heated game of foosball (insert picture here). I went toe to toe with an admitted non-lover of the game but he beat me 2 out of 3. This is impressive to me since I own the table but apparently that doesn't mean a goddamn thing (insert Gantsy's "hee hee"). Foosball allows me to do several things. 1. Focus on something other than my job, my house, or the next big thing. 2. Get that competitive spirit out. 3. Continue to drink beer.

Enough about that. My friend K.P. and I went out for Seis de Mayo. Since I went to a wedding during Cinco de Mayo I didn't get to celebrate properly. K.P. got locked out of her house and after several confessions and lots of hunger we decided fish tacos and margarita's was in order. So we head to Baja 600 and well into our second marg. K.P. comes up with the best two quotes I've heard in a while. "You know, I'm kinda like ditch weed-full of seeds and always wet." She was talking about ideas and how we just came out of the rain. "That why I have a tatoo of a crooked little heart." Other obscure reference I can't remember but it induced laughter just the same. Needless to say we had a great afternoon talking and having a great time.

I woke up this morning and realized a couple of things. I like waking up sober. Despite all my worst efforts, it has it's merit. Everyone has a choice how they want to live their life. Now the first doesn't necessarily corralate to the second and I don't like eating peas and jelly sandwiches, but what I mean is you can live and do the things you want to do and it doesn't have to be Jan 1 or July 4th or your birthday. It just takes today. Change comes at you everyday in the form of acceptance, denial, anger, stubberness, and love. How will you change? Maybe all the April rain in May has got me all Norah Jones-ish but it still holds true.

Andre's got a brand new bag! (or at least a new blog template, hehe).

Drinking beer is fun (and at times very satisfying), but there is indeed a lot to be said for waking up sober :)

Ok Andre, I promis I won't tell your boss that you said this horrible thing about waking up sober, what kind of marketing strategy are you trying to reflect?
