6 Weeks

Ok so I realize that this isn't going to be a blog that people read for my insights on drinks and bartending, but I'll continue to post about them because it gives me something to talk about other than myself. Which I hate talking about myself.

I have around 6 weeks to go. I've lost 5 pounds in the last week, and I am expecting more in the coming weeks. The plan is to have some semblance of a six pack once I am out of boot camp. That'll be in mid June, so having a good pool body by then would be sick. I am really getting into eating healthy and running every day. It's kind of an old school system. Run, pushups, situps, jump rope, eat fruits and vegetables, no fast food, etc. I definitely feel healthier. I think once I got out of football I was so burnt out on being physically tired that I just stopped working out. Which happens to a lot of Texas high school football players once they go to college. But now I've gotten my second wind and at the ripe age of 20, and I am dedicated to being healthy.

I also have decided to start acting my age. For the last 3 years, I've been pretending that I am 25. So much so that I even convinced myself that I am an old man. But once I go to the Navy, I will be an old man amongst the 17 and 18 year olds. In August, they'll be staying on base playing video games or something while I can go out in Charleston. I'm exicted for that. I'm going to bag a nice Southern Girl.

That's another thing. I have settled on what I want in a girl. The only thing is that it really weeds a lot of girls out. Sorry, no blondes. Must be intelligent and at least try for higher education. I prefer taller, skinner girls. Must be able to be quiet with me, because I firmly believe you have found someone if you can share a silence together. She must be independent, just like the song. I could go on. Yeah my standards are high, and no I won't compromise. I also hate the concept of "hard to get." Pretending to not like me will only make me... not like you. Isn't that what you wanted? Oh it's not? Sorry I thought you were just saying that you basically didn't enjoy my company. Whatever.

Today's drink is actually just a liquor, and that liquor is Bailey's. Drink it in coffee, have it on the rocks. Stuff is smooth. Perfect for sipping.
