Re: how was your weekend?
Tue, June 6, 2006 - 3:00 PMit was very hard to be sober at Raindance.
especially sunday morning, when we were told that raindance was OVER (long story short: fire marshall pulled the plug 12 hours early), i felt really, really, really angry, as i had gone to sleep earlish the night before hoping to get a full day of dancing in the sun and all that, only to find out that there would be no such fun and we needed to pack up and get out ASAP. i was then really upset about my sobriety, and that if i would have indulged in at least a *little* something i could have made the most of saturday night and watched the sunrise instead of pooping out early and thus missing out on what was the last of the event.
so yeah, that sucked. but i'm getting over it and treating it more as a lesson in Carpe Diem and not as a lesson in "take more drugs = have more fun".

Re: how was your weekend?
Tue, June 6, 2006 - 6:38 PMI went to pre-com. I had a pocket flask of whiskey, took tiny nips of it all night (> 5 hours). When we were leaving, I shook it and realized it was still almost full. Then I ended up being the one to drive our car home, cuz the guys were wasted and didn't trust themselves. Sheesh.

Re: how was your weekend?
Tue, June 6, 2006 - 9:38 PMFriday night I drink a few beers while assisting two painted babes with a sexy photo shoot. Saturday night I had a dinner party and had some alcohol but was still in good enough shape to run a half marathon at Lake Chabot Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon I helped build a loft bed paltform for a friend in her apartment. I have to admit I was wiped out by Sunday evening, though. I guess I'm not as young as I used to be. -

Wed, June 7, 2006 - 2:02 AMUtterly sober.
I've come to realize that even though a beer or two may not fuck me up, the act of being even slightly unsober is much more different from being completely sober than I previously thought. Maybe we give ourselves excuses too lightly. -

Wed, June 7, 2006 - 12:51 PMThe wine I was drinking last weekend barely affected me, but I had fun nonetheless. -

Wed, June 7, 2006 - 2:15 PMSober, but for no particular reason - except, soemone recently pointed out all the empty calories in alcohol, and to think of it as desert.
So if I go out, I consider it desert. One drink max, two is unusal, just like 2 deserts would be (tho not unheard of!)
Fave combo (at a wedding): champagne, sherbert and a dash of cream. I forget what they're called, but oh my god!

Re: how was your weekend?
Wed, June 7, 2006 - 3:44 PMMy energy level was high. Totally sober (per usual these days). Very productive. I got to spend a bit of time in my garden, mowed the lawn, hung out with family, had dinner with an old friend, had some quality snuggle time with my sweety, and spent just about every other free moment I had working on my largest Burning Man project yet. It was the kind of weekend that I ended exhausted, but totally satisfied.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot... I celibrated one year, ONE WHOLE FRIGGIN' YEAR, without a single drink, drug, cup of coffee, or cigaratte---all of which I used to indulge in very heavily. Who'd a ever thought I could go that long; and like it? -

Re: how was your weekend?
Wed, June 7, 2006 - 11:38 PMWoo HOO! I'll drink to that! *opening up the healthy, green-colored juice stuff I just bought* Grab cups, everyone...
Cheers-- To Erik!
One year is a looooong time. Not even coffee in the morning? Nice. Sounds like you're quite a strong man. -

Thu, June 8, 2006 - 3:45 PMErik,
You're an inspiration. Let's get together and not have a cup of coffee.
I don't drink it at all, and only use caffeine when I work a graveyard shift or have to drive when I'm nodding off (maybe once a month average)...
BTW, I worked all weekend (day shifts). -

Re: how was your weekend?
Thu, June 8, 2006 - 5:27 PMI will say, I do plan to bring a case of Rockstar and/or Redbull with me to the Playa this year... everybody's gotta indulge on something once in a while. I'd love to get together for a caffinated non-alcoholic beverage--my treat! (that goes for everyone in this Tribe) -

Re: how was your weekend?
Mon, June 12, 2006 - 4:11 PMI spent the last week in Cabo san Lucas, Diving at Cabo Pulmo. I entered the water on one dive and found myself in the company of four large bull sharks and adventure ensued. Everyone is safe, but that was one HELL of a natural adrenalne rush, heck, it's still with me. Maybee I go rock clibing this weekend to keep "rollin", that and some more fire. :P
