Perty! Party! Party!

One thing my Old Man was very insistent upon was that when he went tits up( one of the seemingly millions of little phrases he used), he wanted a party.<br /><br /> So we're gonna party.<br /><br />Today.<br /><br />There isn't supposed to be any booze there but I know my family and if there is one thing you can guarantee, someone is going to get as drunk as a piss boiled owl.<br />(See?)<br /><br />That used to be me.<br /><br /><br />I would have had a rolling bar in the rig and at least two pocket flasks on me but seeings how I finally quit the shit, someone else is going to have to pick up the slack.<br /><br />I'm sure I won't be disappointed.<br /><br />One thing <i>I DO NOT MISS</i> is waking up every morning puking my guts out and being still drunk from the night before.<br /><br />It was pretty common for me to get my hangovers at about eleven or noon.<br />The minute I got off work I was drinking again.<br /><br />When a skinny little dude that weighs a hundred and fifty pounds can pound down almost a full bottle of straight whiskey while drinking beer chasers all night,every night, you are looking at a serious individual.<br /><br />Seriously trying to kill themselves.<br /><br />So I finally wised up and had a little chat with myself and decided my marriage was more important to me than drinking myself to death or even possibly killing someone else.<br /><br />That being said, sometimes being sober sucks ass too but I just deal with shit now.<br /><br />So Someone is going to have to hoist one for me to the Old Man's memory but that's cool.<br /><br />There is gonna be a party, just like good old Dad wanted.<br />Heh, I will be telling some stories on his ass later.<br />He used to drink like a fish back in the day and I have some doozies, if my pickled brain can recall them.<br /><br />What can I say? We're Irish for fucks sake!<br />Both his parents were first generation Americans, both sides of that family came straight from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_Antrim">County Antrim</a>.<br /><br />My Mothers side of the family has been traced back to the Revolutionary War and the trip across the pond before that.<br /><br />Either way, its' time to party!<br /><br />See ya's later.<br /><br /><br />
