Big Wide World

this is how i know that i'm getting older. what used to take me a few hourse to recoup after a night of drinking, now takes 2 days. seriously.

when i was younger, we went on months of binge drinking. so, we would drink like banchees, sleep for 3 or four hours, get up, get ready, eat, and start the partying all over again. and it wasn't a problem. now, good lord. i'm still recovering after having a night out at a restaurant and just not realizing that there was too much red wine being poured.

i know that if that's the biggest of my problems about getting older, i'm souring, and i don't do it enough that it would be a problem, but its still one of those things that makes you realize that you're not as quick to recover as you used to be.

maybe its a matter of getting used to it again. like training. if you can't walk for more than 1 km, the trick is to get out there and do it slowly in shorter distances, till you can do 1 km no problem. drinking, i think, is the same. you have to work yourself into it.

ah, the good ol' days when you didn't have to pre-drink to drink. rest in peace my former drinking self. sob.
