Findings

I had a very interesting weekend. I observed and learned various things, they are as follows:

A) Now, I'm sure there are plenty respectful policemen out there, I am very appreciative to those who decide to serve and protect our cities. Having said that, the more interaction I have with officers of the law, the more I lose respect for the people on the job.  I'm sure most of them really do want to help in some ways and I'm sure the starting jobs suck BUT most of them seem to just have some sort of authority complex and can't wait to shove it in your face.  The other night I was innocently finishing a drink while talking with friends to the bar manager as four police came up to us, flashlights blazing in our eyes, screaming that the bar was closed and we needed to get the hell out. Now, if we were belligerent messes, giving them problems, menacing, talking back, etc. this would be appropriate behavior.  We were none of these things, and the bar manager even yelled at them. We were livid. Please prove me wrong Men In Blue, because right now, I don't think very highly of your kind.

2) I really am begining to think my friends and I are the funnest people where ever we go.  We just know how to have a good time literally anywhere.  Put us in an empty room by ourselves, come back in 15 minutes, guarantee we'll be having a blast. We went out in Ugly Sweaters the other night and I've never gotten more compliments about an outfit.  My friends and I got many toasts dedicated to us as well as three shout outs from the DJ and a couple marriage proposals.  We had a great time.  Other than the fact the warm sweaters made it very difficult to really break it down on the dance floor, I would say it was a successful outfit.  Because we had so much fun with the ugly sweaters, we've decided to do a themed night out about once a week now. If anyone actually reads this, I'm happily taking any and all suggestions, I would love to hear other opinions.

D) If you're looking for a delicious strong, and I mean strong, holiday drink, consider making "Apple Pie." Boil a gallon of apple juice AND apple cider, 3 cups of sugar, and 8 sicks of Cinnamon. After the mixture boils for a few minutes, cool and then stir in a bottle of Everclear (or any kind of high proof grain alcohol). Enjoy. The colder the drink, the easier it goes down. Two and a half cups and I was good for the night. Granted I am all of five feet tall but still.  Warning, it can be dangerous; it's hard to realize how much you're actually consuming.

4)  I hate New Years Eve.

@) That's all for now.  I know I have more to add but that's long enough for tonight.  Good night!
