When Drinking Gets Drunk

So the other night, I decided to let my hair down a bit and give into the temptation of going out for lots of some drinks and good times with friends.

going outThe fun was out, the music was pumping and liquid was flowing.

shotsTowards the end of the night we all decided to head out a bit early to beat the crowd and also to attempt to be somewhat responsible and get some sleep to get back to our adult lives. *insert finger twirl here*

On the way outside, we noticed a young man sitting outside the bar on the ground throwing up.

awkwardWHERE WAS THIS MAN’S FRIENDS? WHERE WERE THE BOUNCERS? THE POLICE? JESUS??

Poor drunk ass fellow was just face to concrete yakking his life away and no one was there to help him out but the sounds of Rihanna‘s voice telling him to ‘Pour it Up’. I think he’s poured enough, Ri-Ri.

This incident made me start to think of past times where I was out drinking with friends and alcohol got the best of us. Oh yes, alcohol tends to do that to you sometimes.

The Obsessive Diaries: Dreams, ‘Revenge’ & Good Ole Thrift Shopping

obsessive diariesIt’s time for another edition and another batch of things that I can’t get enough of with The Obsessive Diaries, starting with my trip over this past weekend to visit an old friend of mine.

The Bookstore.

I could get lost in that place for hours. And I’m totally one of those people who will lounge on the floor and like I have no home training and flip through pages until I decide I want to make a purchase.

Considering it had been a while since my last visit, I splurged a little and got a few different reads, one being PR queen Kelly Cutrone‘s book If You Have To Cry, Go Outside.

kelly cutroneIf you know anything about the fashion world or got sucked into watching The Hills, The City or Kell on Earth you’d know that Kelly is a beast. Her book is all about her small beginnings and the crazy road that got her where she is today. I’m a few chapters in now and I wish I had more time because I can’t put it down. Any girl looking to make a name for herself, has an opinion and has dreams of the big city should definitely pick up a copy and read.

BYE FELICIA!

images

“Bye Felicia”:  When someone says something that you really could give two shits about—their name then becomes “felicia”, a random bitch that nobody is sad to see go. They’re real name becomes irrelevant and instead, they now are “Felicia”.

Everyone has their signature catchphrase that they have or they’re known for. I think I have a few of them but the one I am most known for lately with people that know me is calling out Felicia.

Now everyone seems to do it. Because it just works for shit you just don’t have time for.

I’ll always have time for Sweet Brown, but the Felicias of the world have got to go.

For Better or For Worse

Growing up, I lived in a pretty strict household. Actually, even once I was grown (at least in the eyes of the state), I lived in a pretty strict household. And I do mean strict. I was the bitch at 25 racing home to beat a midnight curfew.

Like I said, strict.

Now despite all of that, I am thankful and truly blessed for my upbringing–I could not have dreamed of better people to have raised me and help me become everything good in me that I am today.

But like a bird, eventually you must fly out and explore your own path. So that’s what I did.

And now after almost a year into my journey, things recently came to a screeching brake slam upon being asked to move back home.

I’m known sometimes to pop off at the mouth before thinking and not giving the classiest of answers, so before giving a clear one, I really had to sit down and put some thought into this shit.

Moving back home would be awesome to have more money to spend on pointless shit be more responsible and save money, but when everything is said and done I would be giving up the life I’d come to know in the past year…..

Spring Break is broken

Spring-Breakers

I’ve never been big on Spring Break. In the younger years, while it was cool to be off for a week from school, that was usually the time my parentals took to get on me about extensive house cleaning and in the older years it was a time where friends nagged me to chip in on hotel/alcohol/gas fees to hit up some beach and party with a bunch of randoms. I took on my first full time job by 17 and quickly got addicted to the feeling of making my own money so I always skipped out on joining in the Spring Break festivities. Until this day I have never been on Spring Break vacation.

Now that I am out of school, I wouldn’t dare participate in it now. To each is own, but the thought of a grown ass person with no current college credits to their name going out to party with a bunch of college kids is creepy and desperate to me. You think you’re out there in your bikini, getting it in looking like this:

TwerkWhen in reality you look more like this:

Drunk ugly dance

And feeling like this the next day while all of your spring chicken friends are up and out early to party another round.

So when the news of the film Spring Breakers first came out, I had no interest in it….until I saw the trailer.

That’s when I realized in spirit, it was time to go on Spring Break. There’s only so long you can resist girls with guns, dance tracks, Britney Spears’ singalongs and James I Wanna Have Your Mulatto Babies Franco.

Oh haaayyyy.

Oh haaayyyy.

The film features an all around cast of familiar faces and is written/directed by Harmony Korine, who also wrote Kidswhich if you haven’t seen it–stop reading and go get it. Well actually finish reading, then go get it.

With such a phenomenal film under the belt (as well as others) and a decent crew of actors on deck–Spring Breakers has got to be worth watching, right?
