Sitting outside on the concrete curb, I wait for Lachlan to pick my hungover ass up. He is taking his sweet ass time. Waking up in one of the dressing rooms with a naked Ashlee draped over me was the last thing I was expecting this morning. Actually the thought of it makes me sick to my stomach, I knew I had a fair bit to drink last night but damn, to black out like that is a new low for me. Fuck, not that I’d admit it to anyone but I even had a fair few under belt before my ride. Drinking before your ride is a strict no-no. After the ride they couldn’t give a fuck, but before you jump on the back of a one tonne bull, they do. Some shit about liability. What they don’t know won’t hurt them though. Not that I ride drunk… ever. I just didn’t want to be here. I didn’t want to be in this city and I didn’t want to perform to this crowd. So when there was some kid filling the mini fridges with Carlton Dry, I grabbed one. But apparently, I didn’t stop at one. My head is pounding, my guts are churning and my mouth feels as dry and as rough as sandpaper. Yeah, I definitely had more than one. …show more content…
I nod at him before slumping back in the chair, preparing myself to sleep the next six hours away. “Had a good night?” Lachlan asks with an edge to his voice. I laugh, “Don’t tell me you’re jealous,
We have all wanted to get revenge on someone. Revenge is a very common feeling. It originates with hate or jealousy. Revenge can make our lives miserable and make us do things that hurt other people. We shouldn’t try to get revenge on anyone. If someone did something bad to us, we should think more deeply about that situation before taking any action that could cause some legal problems. Some people can get the point of killing just to get their revenge and some people leave this decision due to some circumstances, just like in the story we just read, “He Becomes Deeply and Famously Drunk” by Brady Udall. This story deals with the concept of revenge. Archie, is a handsome, loud and blunt seventeen-year-old who has spent much of his recent life
In The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, Rex Walls is highly dependent on alcohol, which significantly hurts Jeanette and her siblings and drives the family apart.

I guess you want to know all the sordid details huh ? Hmmm. Well. Let me start with an introduction to the scenario. I'd already had a slave before but she wasn't behaving so I had to cut the bitch loose. It was a real shame. She was a real looker too. But oh well. I was cruising the bar circuit as is my usual. I went to the downtown core to scope out my next target but from what I saw there was nothing interesting around until the wee hours of the night when I was getting in my car and this young lady asked me for a light for her cigarette. Oh she was a looker, just like the one before. Long blonde hair that cascaded to the middle of her back, a generous pair of tits and wow, what a pair of legs. I was so stunned by her I almost forgot why I went out that night. I remember giving her a light so I'd have an excuse to strike up conversation. Just enough to stall her from leaving. She'd agreed to gab a bit so we both had a cigarette and talked in my car. The night air was a little cool so I turned on the car to keep us
I packed my things into a small U-Haul. We were leaving the town I had always known, Houston, to go someplace I barely knew, a small town named Navasota. We moved when I was four because my parents wanted us to experience a small town like they had grown up in. Would I find new friends? Would the people there like me?

Hey Folks! Welcome to the bar scene! We're so glad you've joined the ranks of veteran boozers and newby Fireball guzzlers! Let me start off by saying, unequivocally, we wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for you. We appreciate you've stepped through those hallowed doors, and into our welcoming arms (and cash registers).
At 19, I thought I knew it all. Admitting I was confused, nervous and fearful didn't cross my mind, nor did confirming inabilities. Just like a vintage bottle of wine, I have greatly improved with age! Gone is the over-confidence and ridiculous sense of entitlement that defined my youth. Somewhere on the journey from bright-eyed to now, I realized learning is a process and involves small steps.
Ding Ding Ding Its time for school, Time to get dressed, Sit at your desk, Get stressed, With the rest, Time to take a test. More than a 16-year quest Allow me to fill you in with the rest What is school for? Now please, I know how privileged I am To have a right to free education
"Drunken Master" spawned a number of clone-films and this particular one is one of the best. Butcher Wing is a mediocre student of master Wong Fei Hung, a fact that has not forbidden him from carrying a rivalry with another school headed by Master Ko. Eventually, Wing's long lost brother arrives in town with his wife and Tai Ho, Master Ko's son abducts the girl. Later on, the story involves Beggar So, a lot of misunderstandings, murder and lastly a fight between Wing and Master Ko.
Specific Purpose: After listening to my speech, my audience will know how alcohol is made and how it affects humans negatively and positively.
...heavier friends. Also, since it takes my body about an hour to digest a drink, I should start to pace myself in order to assure that I do not drink deadly amounts. I have also had time to look within myself and truly reflect on my reasons for drinking. My self-evaluations led to the following conclusion: maybe I shouldn’t use alcohol as an escape from stress or depression because it doesn’t help, but rather it intensifies the feelings I am already experiencing. Alcohol is a drug and it’s surprising that it took an incident like this one for me to truly grasp the significance of making sure my drinking habits are at a level that is safe for my individualized body. Although this experience led to intervention with the ORL staff, in my case it was positive because I have gained the knowledge and self-realization that I needed to make healthier decisions in the future.
When drinking alcohol there is many things that you should have buried in the back of your head when taking that first sip. Alcohol can come with many consequences such like getting your licenses taken away to even going to jail, affecting the body majorly, and becoming addicted or abusing alcohol. When getting into the car while being under the influence there is many consequence’s you should take into consideration like licenses being taken away, jail time, a felony being on your record, and paying some big fines. When a cop pulls you over and they suspect you’re under the influence they can ask you to take a breathalyzer. A breathalyzer detects how much blood alcohol content you have in your body by one breath.
Alcoholics will live day by day struggling with compulsive drinking disease. Everyone thinks it’s all fun and games drinking and partying with their friends when they are younger, but they do not realize the effects of what alcoholism does to your body until it is unfortunately too late. In my opinion, alcohol abuse is the deadliest disease out there, before you know it alcohol takes over your body and your life. Everything around you will eventually revolve around alcohol, you will start to distance yourself from your loved ones which can result in a separation, you can lose your job, and the worst part about it is that you are destroying your body. After years of constant alcohol use you will start to have liver failure.
Drinking alcohol is like taking a drug. It is a form of drug abuse, and drug addiction. This is a worldwide problem that many people are involved in. There are good effects of alcohol if it is in small amounts, and in moderation. On the other hand there are bad short and long term effects. The effects that a person will get are all based on certain factors like, how much and how often alcohol is consumed, the age of the person, when the person started and how long they have been drinking for, gender, their family history and last but not least based on their health.
When discussing the poetic form of dramatic monologue it is rare that it is not associated with and its usage attributed to the poet Robert Browning. Robert Browning has been considered the master of the dramatic monologue. Although some critics are skeptical of his invention of the form, for dramatic monologue is evidenced in poetry preceding Browning, it is believed that his extensive and varied use of the dramatic monologue has significantly contributed to the form and has had an enormous impact on modern poetry. "The dramatic monologues of Robert Browning represent the most significant use of the form in postromantic poetry" (Preminger and Brogan 799). The dramatic monologue as we understand it today "is a lyric poem in which the speaker addresses a silent listener, revealing himself in the context of a dramatic situation" (Murfin 97). "The character is speaking to an identifiable but silent listener at a dramatic moment in the speaker's life. The circumstances surrounding the conversation, one side which we "hear" as the dramatic monologue, are made by clear implication, and an insight into the character of the speaker may result" (Holman and Harmon 152).
