I’m drinks. I’m dr3@&:. I’m drum I’m drunk. 

So. I’m drunk. As you can tell. Just letting you all know.

I’m listening to one of the worst drummers I’ve ever heard at one of my favorite dive bars. I say this Because I myself am a drummer and can’t stand when a mediocre lad hits the stage.

He’s really bringing the band down. Bummer for them. 

Anyways I’m writing this post because I’ve excluded myself from social media- by the way of it weren’t for auto text this shit would be fucked the hell up…. Just sayin :)) 

Ok back to the story.. So I excluded myself from social media and I’m writing this because I’m in need of some interactions.

I’m at the bar…battery low as fuck.. Playing some King Kong pong at one of my local spots… 

I honestly forgot the real reason, the point of this story but i hope you enjoyed it anyways.. More so I hope to remember the feeling I feel right now.. Very content with where I’m at in life. I fuxking love life… I’m at a great place, with my brother and a girl I’m attempting to set him up with from work. And it’s great. It’s perfect. Just what i needed :)) more to follow on my feeling and all that hoo-hah :$$
