Yes, it is 3:25AM in the morning, and yes, this is the third night in a row where I haven't been able to sleep. What a crappy week it's been. Unfortunately, against my better judgement, I just wanted to forget it, so I went over to the LCBO after work yesterday and bought a hundred bucks worth of beverages in the hope that I can at the very least find a way to forget everything. Don't remember much from last night except downing a Stella Artois, followed by a Bacardi Pina Colada Breezer, followed by a Keith's, followed by a Bacardi Mixx Rumrunner Blonde, and after that, I may have shared another Keith's with my wife, while I was semi-conscious trying to watch Desperate Housewives. At the very least, I was very relaxed on the couch.
Needless to say, I did forget most of what happened this week, at least for a few hours, and I was able to hit the sack at 10:30PM and sleep for at least a couple of hours. I woke up a couple of hours ago with a massive headache, so I went to the washroom thinking I wasn't feeling that great, and I just had some water and went back to bed. The pounding headache is still there, so I figured I may as well try to blog for a while and hopefully I will eventually get tired. You would think that having no sleep since Wednesday night and being alcoholically medicated would help, but I think I feel worse than I did before. Actually, now that I think about it, it could have been the fact that I have had severe allergies this week as well and I just took antihistimines a couple of hours ago when I awoke.
OK, I'm feeling tired now. I'm sure this will eventually catch up to me. I wish that I was lying on some beach this week, rather than have to deal with all the crap that I had to deal with. This week did have some promising news at work, as I found out that the fella that I recently hired, the one with the body odour issues which he is controlling for now, may actually be a Christian. I ended up conversing with him yesterday (unfortunately, I don't recall too much of it right now due to my current condition of exhaustion), and I remember, "this is the best news I've heard all week." I had a nice discussion with him - maybe I'll get into it later. On the drive home, before I hit the LCBO, I was listening to John Moore on CFRB (he's a self-proclaimed libertarian agnostic, and unfortunately, he uses the CFRB's generally conservative airwaves to spout off his view that he is not against religion, but does not believe in God. He brought on Christopher Hitchin (sp.) who recently wrote a book entitled "God is Not Good" (I'll probably pick it up out of general interest, but will drop cash on a used copy, since I'm not interested in lining his pockets). Of course Hitchin came on and was rambling about some logical fallacies in Christianity. I tried to call in, but I found it unusual that, although normally, Moore opens the phone lines for about 15-20 minutes at the tail end of the show, he only ended up taking two calls, both of which show sympathy to Hitchin's arguments. I'm sure there were a lot of pissed off Christian apologists out there who could have torn a strip off Hitchin's arguments, but alas, there is media selective bias for you.
Oh well...I see by the clock it is indeed late. I still have about eighty five dollars or so of beverages, so any good friends who want to come over and share a drink, come on by. Hell, I'll barbecue some chicken wings or burgers and we can discuss the environment, military history - anything other than church. It's probably unwise for me to try to down all of this myself - I do understand much better now why people choose to drink to forget their troubles or stresses, but I think it's a short-lived solution, though I have to admit, sometimes a short-lived solution is better than none at all.
Later, gators.
