did the birthday thing for the first time in as long as i can remember. unless i did something similar before, and, like last week, can't remember much. there are about 3.5 hours of my life that i'll never get back. by the way it sounds i think i wouldn't want them back. F.U.C.K.E.D is what i was. jeez. bad news bears. i'm not sure what it was that brought me over the edge. it could have been aaran's andy-esque supply of drugs, the bottle of cham-pan-yaa, the beer beer beer beers or maybe the double pint double shots. despite my excessive excesses, i'm quite proud of myself. apparently while heading to the venue for cheap (and sans-fuckup-ed-ness terrible) clubbing i had to be given 'the talk'

'mat, we're passing through bouncers now. you need to be sober. just keep your hood on, be quiet and walk through'

i know this beat well. i've given the talk many a time before.

lets change the beat.

hood comes off, head to the front, say hello (or something) pay for the party to get in.

SERIOUSLY?

how the fuck did i pull that shit off?

i suppose it was a mostly fun night. wish i could remember the lot of it. mostly i'm happy we didn't end up at CCs or similar venue. i'd have gotten lucky, and by lucky i mean unlucky, as discretion and decision making was at a minimum at best and to be honest, anyone who'd have had me that night would have to be just as sloppy as i was...maybe birds of a feather? urgh.
