Hey hey hey, everybody

Its a beautiful day in da neighborhood....wont you come out and play? Summer is finaly here, as much as Germany gets, that is. Highs in the 80's are considered "hot" here. Makes me feel good, but it makes my studying harder and harder...wanna go outside and play in the grass or in a pool rather than read or look at a computer screen. The only reason I am writing this is because I have to be here at work, and need to kill some time before actually doing something.

Something interesting has happened, and is happening to me which I feel like sharing: I feel fantastic! And have for a while now, and I can only attribute it to one thing: I stopped drinking a while ago, which was, or is a major change in my life which has made my whole outlook on things much better, clearer, better. I mean, I know drinking a wee bit o beer or wine is probably good for most people, but the fact is my personality is one that tends to take things too far, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. Think: That Guy. Maybe not quite that bad, but then again, maybe so. And I hate when I think of all those wasted years of my life spent planning things around a party or drinking. Looking at ole Allison's (http://www.blogger.com/profile/09526129548370052853) pics of her trip to Amsterdam and her comments made me realize just how much my life has changed and how lucky I am.

So for those of you guys and gals out there who think that drinking and drugs is such a good thing, remember you only have one life to live, and you want to live and enjoy every moment that you can. Don't let yourself get sucked into a bottle, its hard to get out. Easier to not develop an addiction than to try and break one.

Peace Out, ya'all!!! Enjoy the sunshine.
