I was thinking, there comes a time when it’s ok to say fuck it and just let it go. Just forget for a while. Forget, forget, forget. Drown in nothing but inconsequential stupidity.
I was sitting at our table when the party started. A disco lamp ball (NO, not a disco ball, a disco LAMP ball fuck), fat chicks dancing around their purses to the sound of a trio of idiots doing a horrendous disco revival. A Joe Pecci lookalike (the whole thing, down to the black turtle neck with a gold chain over it), a generic back up signer wearing a walmart lamé dress and a bald guitar player trying to play to the rythm of his taped music. Fuck. Gawd. And the fat chicks screaming and clapping and the drunk mullet wearing middle aged sales reps doing their John Travolta moves (including a very dangerous attempt at a split which resulted in 5 other drunk guys helping him up but mostly just leaning on him as to not to fall on their own faces).
I was sitting at our table and suddendly I said “What are we doing here? What the FUCK are we doing here?”. And he says “You know, it’s ok to have fun like this. Once in a while, it’s ok to enjoy yourself and let it go.”.
So I got myself another drink and decided to try. I even danced a little bit. Don’t tell anyone though.
Going a little further, what he told me struck me. Am I not able to have fun, stupid fun? Hell yeah. I have fun a lot. Just with the kind of stuff that I like. Laughing at people makes me laugh (fuck judgement, everyone likes it). Playing video games makes me happy (mostly ones involving murder, slaughter, or fast cars). Watching American Idol is a great source of tv entertainement for me (NOT the auditions, I hate that). Senseless stuff I like: Jackass, Ultimate Fighting, standup comedy (not polititical, they mostly suck. I go to Jon for that), browsing youtube, google videos or Ifilms or movie-list for hours. Singing karaoke with midi files (you have to try this), playing point ‘n click and escape the room games on Nordinho and Gamershood. Spending way too much time playing with my new blog.
So I can have fun. On my own terms. I just can’t stand disco lamp balls and Joe Pecci singing Dancing Queen.
