There was a string of pearls and I gave them to the sky. I honestly tried to play the games that you designed. Emotional swings leave us left with only desire, and we swing around alive. It’s only alive if love stays alive. You know you’re not really alive; you’re just a shadow falling behind. No matter how much you try you can’t make the sun shine all the time.
I turned away; you started to say what a dream it could be. I shifted my eyes. I tried to be kind. When there’s no one and there’s no hope then there’s nothing left to believe.
So where are you now? I’m wondering how to fall down on my knees and finally admit all the things I believe.
The last few weeks have been really fun. I am now on the third and final 3-day weekend in a row. Yesterday was my last day in training. We had a really awesome graduation ceremony at work. After work the entire crew decided to go out for “a couple” drinks. I am really excited about being their coach. They are a fantastic group of individuals who work hard and strive for the best. This is the last time I am able to hang out with them in this capacity because as of tomorrow I become their supervisor. So last night we cut loose!
Now that I think about it, I have been doing a lot of cutting loose lately. Last weekend was new years eve. What a crazy night! Bottles, cans, keg, shots, mixers, you name it… we had it! I knew the party was off to a great start when we discovered the puke in the laundry room. (And we still don’t know who did it!)
I was told that I kind of played bartender for the first half of the party, that is, until I got too drunk to even speak clearly. You see, I made up a drink while I still lived in Utah that people seem to enjoy. You too can make this special drink! Just follow along with these 5 simple steps (I make learning fun!):
Green Caribbean
1. Get a really big glass with ice.
2. Pour in a lot of Bacardi O (or any orange flavored rum for you frugal types)
3. Pour in a lot of Malibu Rum (cheap stuff works too)
4. Add Mountain Dew (almost to top of glass) and mix
5. Add 1 shot of Midori Melon Liqueur (do not mix)
There was another drink I made that night. This is a drink I made for Ashley that got her tilted! I don’t have a name for it yet, but it’s really simple to make; just a little expensive, heh. Start off with a bottle of Remy Martin VSOP Cognac (See, we are already off to a great start). Mix it with Wal-Mart generic brand guava nectar. About 1 part Remy to 2 parts guava. Yummy!
It is time to get back to business though. Training is over. Play time has ended. No more partying for Richie, not until I get settled in. I want to really excel at this new job. I have high expectations of myself. Ok, so, I will have the occasional shot of tequila or five.. nothing wrong with that!
