Hey everybody, how are all of you doing today? I had a great time last weekend. I had planned a party for Saturday night, mainly because I haven't had a party in a long time. I knew we would have fun, and I was right. Now I would like to present to you my latest commentary with the funny theme of....

Sometimes You Get Drunk and....

It all started on Friday night when I was planning on going out to the bars with Zach for a while. Wally showed up to make his first appearance in nearly three months. It was abvious to me that he and his old lady were split up again. If you ask me, that is not necessarily a bad thing. So anyway, he stops by and we hang out for a while before the Ozman shows up. As soon as he walked through the door he says, "Wally and Cora must be split again, now he come play with us again." That got the customary, "F@#$ you," from Wally. So we decided to play a few drinking games. Then Justin came by and decided to drink with us. Then Zach made it, and finally Dustin Wood and his girl showed up. So without even knowing it I had a spontaneous semi-party going on. The weekend started early, not sure how but it did.

Luckily, that night we didn't get so bad we got to demonstrate what I will be talking about in this commentary. That occured the following night.

Saturday night was the night of the party. Wally showed up at about 7:30 (nearly twohours before the party was going to start) and I had been drinking on the beer from the night before for a couple hours, lightly buzzed but not terribly. We went to Scotty's to pick up some more for that night. Then Cathy arrived at about 8:15 and I sat and talked with her while Wally killed innocent people on Grand Theft Auto.... What a bastard. Within another half hour, Pat and Nicole showed up and shouted "What are you waiting for? Let's get drunk!" So it was then on to the drinking games, while Nicole attempted to do that and join the century club (100 shots of beer in 100 minutes). Then as the night progressed more people showed up and that is where we finally get to the true reason for this commentary. I want to talk about "Sometimes you get drunk and...." some pretty wierd things. So here we go.

This usually happens at the beginning of the night while you still have some motorskills left to work with. Many times it involves food, which is another reason why it happens early, if it happened later you might hurl. There was once the green ketchup and red ketchup sinus infection sauce, that was nearly enough to make Nicole hurl. At this party, Pat put together this wonderful sandwich of Salami, Cheese, BBQ sauce, Hot 'n Spicy moppin Sauce, Olives, and Moldy bread. Yes he ate it but the rest of us cringed. It was a nice smiley face though.

There is always that person with the camera at the party that is only taking pictures to use them against you. You will say something to make fun of them sometime and they will whip out the pisture to keep you from talking. That person is a real pain, and at the parties I go to that person is usually me. Beware of the Cooper with the Camera. Mwoohahahahaha! Mwoohahahahaha!

Nothing is better than checking ut the pics from a party and realizing people took a bunch of pics of Bull$&^%. Justin showed us all just how much he liked taking pictures by taking pictures of beer cartons, empty beer bottles, ashtrays, etc. I guess I should be happy that at this point he was still able to know how to use the camera.

Simple skills like holding the camera right side up are often taken for granted until you get drunk. As you can see Justin has a problem with this when he begins to get tipsy. Luckily we retaught him the art of the camera (and the art of drinking more beer) before all was lost (and there was plenty of time for more blackmail photos, thank goodness). He is now a photographer for teh New York Times (yeah right).

Okay, so I have just incriminated myself in this one. I am the one that gets drunk and won't let you take a normal picture because I have this huge cheesy smile on my face. If you don't like picture this is what you have to do. After you screw up a few good pics for someone, they will finally give up and move on to the next unsuspecting person. Either that or you have the worse picture possible of you.... usually this one.

We have all been in this situation before, either a raging, mumbling drunk comes up trying to carry on a conversation and all you hear is "Roe, dare ah uz, chut kippin do nizelv, mot hoitin mo wum...." or you are the drunk that no one wants to talk to. Well, like at all parties some unfortunate fool becomes this guy. Now the same thing happened at my party as can be seen in the picture. The funny thing is this wasn't even taken when he was drunk. I guess nobody likes Wally anymore....

Have you ever noticed those people that get a few drinks in them and are suddenly the dude from the Dave Matthews Band video "Everyday". They just have to hug everyone they see. Or in some people's cases they have to get all kissy-wissy- sissy with their wives. How sick is that????? I knew Pat was a big puss (I am so going to get my ass kicked for this).

It never fails, you throw a party and you have to go to bathroom, so you head on down to it only to find your friends in there doing GOD knows what. So you chase them out of there and head back to the party only to find them in your bedroom!!!! This time it was Pat and Nicole, luckily she was too drunk to be doing anything I might find upsetting, so no harm no foul.

Nothing like trying to look like a badass when your drunk. Sometimes it works but most of the time you just look funny. When I try and look like a badass i usually get things thrown at me. In the case of this picture, Pat is actually looking like a Punk-ass, or as I like to put it, looking oh so very natural. Just Kidding, P-man (okay, well I am kinda kiddin'). Weren't you just being kissy-wissy-sissy with your wife? Yeah your a badass, he he he.

There are times when you try to avoid someone all night, because you know they have been drinking. You don't do it because they get violent or moody. No they are always in a good mood while drink. You avoid them because if you say hi to them you know you will be caught in a conversation with them for at least an hour. Bootie is one of these people, unfortunately I can't make myself not talk to him, even though I would like to at times (just kiddin' love ya man).

The annoying guy, the psycho gal, they only get worse when you get drunk. Not only do they get worse but your reaction times for escaping them get worse as well. This leads to them latching on and you beginning to panic. In this shot I saw that Cathy was moving slow due to her partying all night and I made my move. It took her hours to get me away, okay so she didn't push me away, but she wanted to.

It never fails, at any party you can look around and see it everywhere. The alcohol makes normal hetero guys act like something no one saw coming... Homos. The women are repulsed, the sober redneck guys looking for their white sheets and lynch mobs, and the kids crying in fear. What bastards those drunk guys are, how dare they do something like this, they should be.... What? ..... IT WAS ME? ..... I did? .... please kill me now .... This guys should just be looked at as actor trying to entertain. (Oh lord I wanna die).

Enough Said!!

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the examples of some of the things that could happen after a long night of drinking. Sorry it took me a while to get it going but it finally is. I will catch you all later. Thanks again.

Later,
Coopedaddy
