Was a couch potato all weekend

I stayed in all weekend. I had planned to go out Saturday night. When Saturday came I procrastinated the whole day about it. I was trying to convince myself it may be a good night. There was nothing going on with anyone. Most weekends when stuff is going down I can't be there. I get text or facebook posts about it. From 6pm to 10 pm I was putting off getting a shower. By 11pm it was too late. I would normally be out by 7pm. I ended up not feeling like it. Lately with hitting the bar I feel like I'm in the movie Ground Hog Day. I've been there and done that. The atmosphere is not all that appealing unless the people I usually hang with is there. What was on TV was more interesting to me. There was a lot of good movies on. The Fugitive, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Bourne movies. I redboxed a few.

I had a bad week. Well not as bad as this person. I witnessed a truck swerve off the road. It hit the guard rail. Then a cement wall and fell into a creek on it's side. I don't know what happened to the guy but he looked dead to me. Blood everywhere. It was a mess. Then I found out I may lose my job. Another company under bid mine by a quarter of a million. Collecting unemployment for 26 weeks sounds good except you can only collect %60 of your income. I would love to live like some other Americans by staying home waiting on a check while I complain about my government temporarily. I lost my second job back in October when they surprisingly shut down. I went into to work to see they were closing. There were rumors at the time. Nothing official. I've been looking for a new second one ever since. The job market stinks.  


I needed some alcohol consumption. I was going to attempt to get really drunk. Not something I try to do. I am a social drinker. If it happens it happens. It's been a hard thing for me to do for a long time. I don't get drunk as easy I used to. It's more like slightly buzzed. Or I get bored after the fifth beer. I milk it all night if I don't leave early. For me to get drunk I need to do shots. I don't want to drive after that but I have to get home eventually. If not that there is this drink I used to drink back in the day called Mad dog 20/20. That for some reason makes me lethargic. I get really sleepy. With beer I can sober up pretty good once I slow down. I needed to blow off my steam. I'm glad I didn't go out. I saved money and my time. From what I heard it was a boring weekend. It would have ended early.
