Show Me Your Kanobi-s!

Have you ever noticed that excessive alcohol makes people either extremely emotional, horny as hell or in the last case, wax philosophical? Well, had a taste of the last part the other night when Beethoven ,Henry and I went over to Penny's to hang out. I unfortunately, am on an anti-alcohol kick so I was bone dry the whole night. Beethoven however, drank like a fish throughout and soon Henry gave him company. While playing dumb charades Henry suggested we give Beethoven a film and then feign ignorance while he kept acting it out. So Beethoven was given 'Moulin Rouge' and the poor guy waltzed all alone and pretended to breasts!

Later we took a more serious turn and started discussing life and passion and whatnot. I am not going to recreate the convo, rather I will give you my views on these issues and let you make your own conclusions. However, this will appear largely disjointed to every one who wasn't present last night...anyway here goes...
I truly feel that it is possible to be passionate about several things at once or at different points in life be it, career options, people or hobbies. I feel like it's okay to dabble in various fields and not zero in on one particular area of expertise. But I feel that to never know passion would be leading a hollow life. As for loving and losing, I'd rather do that, than to never love at all. Because the memories you make in that time could be what sustains you for the rest of your life. As for compatibility, yes It can lead to the most successful marriages. But all arranged marriages do not necessarily lead to compatibility. I think the scariest thing in the world is marrying someone you barely know..What if they turn out to be racists or pedophiles or share opinions that are so inherent to them but completely baffling to you? Yes, I believe in divorce, but the people who normally get arranged marriages are not the ones who think of divorce. This leads me to talk about divorce. Yes, Marriage is something one should undertake with the view of it being 'forever' but what if your husband abuses you? Should you live an unhappy life and slowly die inside for the sake of 'marriage'? NO. There should always be an option in life. That's life how I see it.

Moving off of the seriousness, the night was major fun. The Godfather was analyzed, Tolkien discussed, golden thongs 'slipped' in and a gloriously gossip-y morning was had. Unfortunately I barely hung out with penny at all this time. I mean i tagged along when I could, but still. I really miss her around. I hope she doesn't change on me. Oh well, I live to write another day.
