Well folks, it’s gonna be a new owl around here. A leaner, meaner and even grumpier owl. That’s right, Grumpy is going to sober up. Why, you might ask? Mind your own fucking business, I might say. But I won’t say that. If I wanted to say that I wouldn’t blog about it, would I?
So here’s the more or less straight dope. While I’ve never been perfect I, at least, used to try to be better than I was. You’ve probably heard all of that crap about “a man’s reach should exceed his grasp.” Well, it’s not crap. My problem is that I only reach for a bottle and that just isn’t right. Fun yes. But who gives a fuck about fun? Fun gets me nowhere and honestly, drinking stopped being fun some time ago.
What you won’t be hearing from me is a lot of sanctimonious bullshit about alcohol. I think it’s good for you and I still hate groups like MADD. People should be allowed to do what they want. I just don’t want to drink anymore. I want to learn to box. I want to get strong and be an Ayn Rand character. If she wrote about foul-mouthed assholes, that is. Which she didn’t. So I’ll just be grumpy as always. There’ll be no daily affirmations here. Just owl venom. But that’s me. Drunk or sober, that’s who I am.
