In my younger days I was known to imbibe much more than I do presently.
When I was in the Navy I cultivated a taste for beer over the period of my enlistment.
I would also engage many a screwdriver as well as the occasional gin and tonic in the Enlisted Mens Club on base because at two bucks a snootful it just couldn't be beat.
Some nights I would stagger back to the BEQ and sleep in a drunken stupor til morning.
Nowadays, I keep a small amount of alcohol under the sink but haven't had a drink in several years.
I attribute this to that realization of my metabolic syndrome and the effects alcohol has upon it.
I tapered down from a few jiggers of Drambuie and Cointreau to the next to nothing I now consume.
I have a life long friend who can down entire bottles of most any liquor at the drop of a hat then ask for more.
I'm afraid this could never be 'me' for a number of reasons the LEAST of which is bars repulse me and are not a target rich environment for companions because I'm looking for friends and allies with a bit more in the way of sober insight.
Today is National Cocktail Day.
It is held each March 24 and notes the alcoholic drinks of which we are known to partake.
This day celebrates those concoctions that remind us of good times, good friends, and going out.
I won't say that I will never drink again. It's just highly improbable given my past efforts.
Happy National Cocktail Day anyway.

I have received a number of complaints regarding my allegedly mean postings regarding George Soros.
I am told that I should be more tolerant.
I am told that violence is never the answer.
While I restate my personal aversion to violence to these people I state unequivocally that George Soros and anyone who accepts his funds to undermine the United States of America are enemies of the state and deserve any harsh treatment they may encounter.
Death to George Soros the nazi.
Death to those who take his money.
Boo !

So this is Young As You Feel Day.
It is allegedly a day for losing ones inhibitions, taking the plunge, going for it, carpe diem, etc.
Those usual and customary expectations we place on one another are not in effect this day.
A day of rebellion as it were.
You can celebrate in a number of ways.
A new hairdo, interaction with a different age group, or even doing something unexpected.
Me, I'd like to celebrate by summarily executing George Soros and any United States dwelling democrat or progressive who leeches from his funds on live television and then taking care of their offspring in a similar fashion public and messy as well ...
You know, complete the job such that their nazi interloping libtard bloodlines disappear from the face of the earth. Stop them from poisoning the air by breathing it.
I'm as young as I feel.
Die meddling leftist libtard scum die.
Yes, quite a bit severe but the world would be a better place without this individual on the planet.
Luckily for him and his I remain nonviolent.
When I came across this reference and decided to do a blog entry I had a knee jerk reaction to thoughts of the television program now apparently in syndication called The Big Bang Theory with Mayim Bialik, Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, et al in that socially awkward show featuring the physicists and their adventures in life and love.
However, it seems the actual reference is the 10:28 am first trip of protons through the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
The media called it as Big Bang Day. This year it is observed the 21st of March but has been known to traverse the calendar somewhat.

It is poignant to recall just how much the character Sheldon Cooper wanted to go there on a Valentines day jaunt with Leonard Hofstadter with diasasterous consequences involving flu like symptoms and and last minute stand in by Raj Koothrappali.
Shudders.
The reality of Big Bang Day didn't mark any new beginnings from the standpoint of our universe and nor did it mark the start of a new universe or make any striking changes in the particle physics of the moment — while it certainly did usher a new era of science.
Anyway I've read sensationalist literature regarding the exit of demons and such from the Large Hadron Collider which are quite a bit beyond the scope of believable science.
Suffice it to say that the research site is under construction and remains in flux while the alleged demons likely remain figments of those inquiring minds who read about them in the tabloid pulp fiction.
So happy Big Bang Day to you and I hope you too get to see the large hadron collider someday if that floats your boat.
I'm afraid I will be quite content to lack any and all of it including the alleged demons thank you very much.

I was at the bank the other day and the customer service manager asked me if I was going to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day to which I replied "That depends on what happens".
It seems I was wearing my green shirt and looking mighty Irish in my old age.
So St Patricks Day, Saint Patricks Day, or St Patty's Day aka the Feast of Saint Patrick is a day for revelry in the best traditions of the Irish with their boisterousness and happy vocal imbibing celebrations.
Few of us know much about Saint Patrick, except that his feast is associated with the Irish, shamrocks and clover, the wearing of green, getting pinched, good luck, leprechauns, corned beef and cabbage which goes down each March 17th, that day Saint Patrick passed this earthly existence.
When I was a child I remember the school time observances of Saint Patrick's Day and getting pinched for failing to wear an item of green attire and it was all an annual game of hit and miss. Sometimes I anticipated the day. Other times I did not — and got pinched until later in life when it no longer mattered to everyone I was around.
It is said that the remains of Saint Patrick lay in repose beneath Down Cathedral in Downpatrick, County Down.
It is also a day famous for drinking Green Beer if you are so inclined.
There is a local celebration held across the river where they dye the fountain waters green, serve green beer, and party all day and into the night.
I am told that the observance having been cancelled two years straight because of the incompetent handling of COVID by an inept government meddling in something it neither knew about nor could handle with any modicum of elegance or appropriateness they are looking forward to making up for lost time.
Happy Saint Patricks Day to you.
I've never filed a foia request. However, I have seen several cross my desk over the years as the result of various requests by individuals for elements of information they believe they require. I recall some jobs where foia requests inspired shock and awe — as well as fear and disdain and typically go through the legal departments of organizations for confirmation and clarification.
Be all of this as it may I feel some foia requests are capricious and unnecessary but all of them are considered as a matter of the law.

Today is National Freedom Of Information Day. It is inspired by the ideals of James Madison, Jr who was the fourth president of the United States and the "father" of the US constitution, who drafted that document as well as the Bill of Rights which those of us who are patriots hold precious while the leftist libtards wish to curtail at every opportunity the conflicts with their innumerable illegal activities.
It was James Madison Jr's contention that a nation should hold no secrets from the people it served. Dream on.
This is not how things are in the United States because the dirtbags in government feel that they should be able to disclose that part of the truth they wish to disclose.
Shame !
The Freedom of Information Act being enacted on July 4th, 1966 and went into effect the following year.
It specifies and guards your rights regarding information which others would withhold at their whim for even it supports nine exemptions and three statutory exclusions.
Perhaps someday we will throw the deep state, shadow government and most of all the democratic party with all the ruination they place upon us continuously.
Happy National Freedom of Information Day.
God bless America.
I hope we are finally saved from the deep state, the shadow government, and the democratic party of idiots.
