Straight Edge Life

One thing I’ve found in common with many of my friends who drink, which is all but one of my friends by the way, is that they put little or no thought into why they drink. I mean NO thought. It’s just something they do just “because”. I have trouble understanding this. It’s as frustrating as when my mom used to say “because” as an answer to any question she didn’t want to answer. She didn’t do that often, but you know what I’m saying. I guess I just wasn’t blessed with that level of casualness in my life. A lot of what I do has a very specific reason behind it. Everything I do has some reason behind it. At least a little. So I don’t get it. It is what it is, I’m not freaking out, it’s just a curiosity. It’s something I don’t know how to approach when I want to talk to people about drinking. It usually comes in the context of “oh wow, why don’t you drink?”. I give them a nice answer and they can’t respond in turn. Anyways. It’s weird to me.

So… I got this motorola razr phone about a week ago. Actually, it may have been a month ago for all I know, I’ve been overwhelmingly busy lately… Anyways, got the razr when I dropped something heavy on my Treo. My Treo was al older 600 model and lacked the handy little feature of bluetooth. Well, the razr’s got bluetooth, and that means that with my t-mobile data plan I’ve got connectivity on my laptop wherever I can get a phone signal. This kicks some serious tail. I’m sitting, once again, in the lobby of the VW dealership, getting my trunk hinges replaced, once again. Without a will do do any actual work, I have decided to blog again. Might just be a momentary thing, but I like the idea of not being pinned to a hot-spot very much. I also like not being at home and writing.

Which reminds me… I’m selling my desktop computer in the next couple of days. Going 100% laptop for a few months. I’m doing this so that I may buy myself a nice little server upgrade. More later, perhaps, my car’s done.
