But anyway, I had resolve long before the new year, to blog. Not just ranting or reviewing stuff, but more specifically on some of the things I do, such as draw and cook, and it's relation to drinking wine. Well, more like how drinking wine tends to make me a little more creative that normal. ;)
Why wine? Well, I like it. It's a nice way to relax after a stressful day (or even if things are not stressful), it goes great with food and dessert and you can drink it any time, anywhere. It can be relativity inexpensive depending on where you go but I've also notice that just because something is cheaply price doesn't make it bad. I've had so pretty decent "cheap" wines that kick ass! Also, a glass of wine has the same (if not less) calories than a shot of tequila. Plus, you get a lot more drink! And, in moderation, red wine is good for your heart. With all that going for it, is it not a wonder I like my wine?
Add some chocolate and smooth jazz......
You get the idea. Lately, though, I found that if I drink a little before or during something I am creating, it make it more interesting, inspiring and fun. Why is that? Well, with a little liquid courage, it helps to lower some of the restrictions I sometimes tend to put on myself when it come to creating. It gets me loose and lets me see thing more mellow and relaxing and fun.
Look, in this day and age there so much crap going on in the world that it's enough to make you wanna drink. In my case, I'm trying to focus on something positive associated with drinking in hard times. For the brief moment, it lets me forget the outside world and allows me to relax and feel good. I know many people will say that it's just a cover for something else and that its' a short term solution to some kind of problem. Maybe in some cases that's true, but I don't read much into. There is such a thing as just having some fun and feeling good. Just tel the average pot smoker and they'll tell you the same!!! LOL! There's nothing wrong wit escaping reality, as long as you come back.
I know, I know....
It's hard to come back sometimes...
But I know that I've got something to forward to...
I think I drifted....
Anyway, that about sums it up for now. I think trying to make life a little more interesting and bearable in these dark times is a necessary thing. We all have ways of doing this. But this is my journey for the time being and I gotta say, wine's awesome and most everything goes better with wine!!! What will I create when I drink!?! Hopefully, some really cool and kick ass pieces of art and food. And when I do, I will share with all of you.
Can I create things that are bad ass and epic without the help of wine? Of course I can!!!
But where's the fun in that!?!
