I've been distracted and depressed enough to drink at unhealthy levels. That drinking has led me to post things here that I wouldn't have, had I been sober. I'd like to apologize for that, I'm sorry.
That inspired the title of this offering, I won't name any specific ads because there are too many, but you know what I mean. There are ads that come on TV, that make me want to eat tin foil, drink a glass of antifreeze, then eat the glass. That's how my postings must make those of you kind enough to read them feel, based on the responses.
I'm writing this as a preemptive measure against myself. I'm going to watch the Flyers vs. Sabres game tonight, and I know I'll imbibe. I don't want to come here with something that annoys more than amuses or informs, only to delete it. I've wasted too much time doing that already.
If you wish, follow me below the crease...
I'd like to address my moronic behavior, I drink more than some, less than others, and have been told that I'm fairly pleasant. I'm not an angry drunk, but wish that I wouldn't drunk blog. Something I did years ago that seemed to keep me on a more even keel, was listen to music.
One of my all time favorite artists is/was Stevie Ray Vaughan. I can't find a good version of one of my favorite songs, Life By The Drop.
It was written after he got sober and that became a driving force in his life until his untimely death. He always inspired me, and I even got sober for a few years. Why I started drinking again and that I continue, is a source of frustration for me. That's not really the point of this post though.
I've been annoying here, and if I write this now, I won't post something after a hockey game that I watched while drinking. It would be better if I didn't drink, or didn't post anything while drinking, but I can't seem to accomplish either. That's my real point here, I know that by posting this now, it will prevent me from deleting something else later tonight.
I'm not trying to rationalize or justify any of my actions, the drinking or the annoying. The definition of addiction is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. I'm expecting something different from myself tonight.
I mentioned earlier that I'd rather amuse or inform, well I got nothing informative so I'll try to amuse. A guy walks into a bar...

I posted a comment in an unpopular satirical diary earlier today. I'd like to close with it here, not because it's relevant, but because I like the Movie, the TV Show, and the song. Be patient, it takes a moment for the video.
