Partying

Do you ever think that partying and drinking excessively is imature? Or maybe not. Maybe its just one of those activities in life where you can let loose and say, "Fuck You!" to the world and not worry about the outcome cause you can blame it on the large doses of alchol consumption. Its one of the few activities where you can escape the confines that society is putting on you to dot your I's and cross your T's.
Or is it really? Or maybe its societies way of saying, "Fuck You!" back. Drink you bastards and waste your time on meaningless thoughtless brain damaging binge drinking. Rather than conforming to the well educated society you are now entering the relm that society calls popularity. Drink this and you will be liked by everyone. If you are drunk you can entertain us as we watch you make a fool of yourselves. As a more equal alternative they drink with you and you all make fools of yourselves together!
What about the Biblical implications? The most popular explaination given by the non tea toddlers for the consumption of alchol is the expression, "Jesus turned wine into water." Oh, and don't forget to add that alchol must be taken in moderation. Don't bother to examine what the meaning of "strong drink" means. And was the alchol of the Bible times the same as the 21st Century? Wans't their water quality poor or something like that. Whatever!
"Drink and be Merry for Tomorrow we die" Whoever coined that statement certainly understood the philisophical thinking of their day. Apparently they never understood the word Hangover!
Can you believe one thing and do the opposite? How many of us have a clear understanding of what is right and wrong and still choose the wrong? Oh, wait Apostle Paul talks about being inheirently evil and how it is a struggle to battle our desires to just let loose and party! And don't forget about the fuzzy grey areas! We excuse it the next day with twelve cups of water and popping back tylonal hoping that this mornings service does not go as long as last Sunday. "Father forgive us!" PRESTO! Problem solved we are forgiven. Well, that is until next weekend. Or maybe we find the places where those who would confront our somewhat desructive behaviour (well to them) melt into the back of the semingly endless crowd of partyers!

Now take into consideration while reading this blog that you are reading the ranting of a certain person who is more than slightly intoxicated and can not sleep at 4a.m. Which of course puts me in an akward position given the somewhat judgemental tone against drinking in the above blog. However, I mean not to judge anyone who drinks by my above entery but mean to in a rather unusual way (for I am not accustomed to swearing) to cause people to think before they act and why they might or might not drink. Or maybe its more of a self awarness thing, but I either way I would love to get your feedback on the subject. Oh, and I'm fully aware that it might not be the most theologically sound way of presenting and argument. Phew! Now that I got that out of the way...Any thoughts on the subject?
