just occurred to me
after reading a thread about getting a call at a certain time at nite...that all those bars where everybody flocks to ....with the projection that this is where everyone needs to be if you really want to be having all the fun....and yet here on this foru,m is where the reality reflects how very many of those people who bought into that belief ...that the bar is where it's at...are really on the road to destruction and taking their loved ones with them.
We were at a stop light and there was a perfect example...the colored lights, the neon signs, the big screen tvs, the "lounge" look, even the catchy names they come up with..."Last call saloon"....."the blarney stone"....."the drink til you sink"....how about something more like "the end of the road zone", "the slowly, painfully kill yourself bar", "cheaper to poison than work on the pain"...
just reinforces the "i'm not missing anything" feeling i have with no desire to go to all those "fun" places.
