Year of the Earth Ox - 2009 design

Well, the Lunar New Year or Seollal as it’s called here,  is just around the corner and as usual I’m trying to cash in on it using my superior language skills! 헉 This design is one of many Asian kitsch and other items of inferior quality at my online design store. Now that I’ve got my shameless blogging out of the way, let’s talk about my Friday night here goes …

Well, Friday night was my latest stupid drunken adventure in the Land of the Morning Calm. As a result of that night, I’m now the owner of a non-functioning cell phone, a depleted wallet, an unexplained knock on my head and am a somewhat remorseful fool who finally admits he has a binge drinking problem at times.

The night was jovial and well-spirited, I met some of my soccer friends at the regular bar and began drinking the night away, chatting with each other and the barmaids and having a good time. I started chatting with my friend’s Korean buddy, who I’ve met several times and we ended staying till closing time when we then ventured of for some food.

After which, he gave me a lift home or somewhere in the vicinity – which was stupid as we both were dead drunk. I have very little recollection of just what happened afterwards and I just remember coming to it freezing cold in the early morning with the sun out about 15 minutes walk from home.  I trudged home, bitterly frozen and proceeded to crash not before accidentally dropping my cell phone into the toilet,  stupidly checking it whilst peeing. D’oh! Dumbarse!

Now, most of you must be thinking why on Earth would I be writing this and shaming myself by doing so. Well, I’ve got to an age now where I like to be true to myself and others and readily admit when I make a mistake or have a problem. And evidently, this is one area in which I have a problem as this has been the third time in six months where I’ve either been stupid or obnoxious whilst drunk and put myself and/or others in danger. I don’t drink very often and usually when I do, I drink moderately but, occasionally I go overboard such as last Friday and that’s when problems occur.

I have no idea what happened for the last hour of my night and have no idea how, when and why I got the bump on my head. All I know is that I lost control and am lucky I wasn’t bashed, injured and/or arrested. From now on, I think I’m going to have to either stop drinking or enforce strict cut off limits for my drinking as I clearly can’t control myself when I drink too much. For those affected by my drinking shenanigans I genuinely apologize for my stupid actions.

With that out of the way, why can’t bloody cell phone companies produce more water resistant phones, my phone was only momentarily in the can but it now doesn’t work at all. I’m going to have to go phone shopping in the near future. Sigh.
