Although this is a bit off the beaten path for my blogging, I have to admit that this is a topic that has struck a nerve with me and therefore, at the risk of offending, even losing a few of my beloved readers, I feel strongly enough about it that I’m going to voice my opinion. Take it or leave it, for better or worse and all that good stuff.
Politics and Religion, two topics that I know better than to even mess with. As they say, “Don’t EVEN go there!” But, despite my better judgement, I’m goin’ there.

What is it about a simple little tattoo that can create so much controversy? Whether you love them or hate them, it’s pretty much guaranteed that everyone has an opinion about them. And a rather strong one at that.
Does it really classify a woman as a Tramp, a Slut, a Sure Thing? I would have to think that there are many other ‘qualifications’ that need to be met before one can be placed into that elite category.

I gotta admit, I expected more. A LOT more. After four very long years without beers, I truly thought my life would have done a complete 180 degree U~Turn and I’d be on the Golden Road to happiness. Or at the very least, standing at the gate, waiting for somebody to unlock it so I could start heading down that beautiful road. But alas, no such luck. For all I know, the gate’s still locked because I sure as hell can’t see it from here.
Now keep in mind this hasn’t been four years of ‘total’ sobriety as I was still doing a bit of ’self medicating’ until Aug. 2nd of ‘06 but I haven’t had any alcohol as of March 6th, ‘06 so it’s been four years without beers. Shouldn’t that count for something? Isn’t there some kind of a reward for good behavior? Apparently not. At least not one that I can see anyway.

Wow, never thought I would ever be able to say that. Heck, I couldn’t go 3 minutes without a beer, let alone 3 years. In fact I really never thought I’d want to say that, it sounds like a ‘bad’ thing. Why on earth would I ever be happy to quit drinking? I mean, who in their right mind would want to stop having fun? And after all, next to sex isn’t drinking the most fun a person could ever have? Well, at one time I sure thought so but as I look back, I might have been drunk at the time!
