An old obsession in a whole new way

Last Friday night in St. Louis, I had the priviledge of learning to make beer! It was amazing to learn about everything that goes into it. Not only is it a relaxing process, but you can drink beer while making more.
I've been searching the internet for affordable home brew-making kits, so I can get started. I'll be saving up my tips from Scooter's, and before you know it you may get an invitation to come and drink some of my beer!

Why do we do that?

There are two trends I've noticed at Scooter's, and I have been guilty of myself. The first is that when someone offers to pay for their friend's drink, the friend makes a joke about how they are going to get a large whatever, plus several pastries, etc., and then they settle for a small cheap drink (most likely not what they would have gotten if they were paying for themselves). The question: why do we belittle people's generousity? Why do we feel guilty when someone else offers to pay. It's their choice.
The second thing I see tends only to occur among women. When alone, a woman can order their drink without hesitation for the most part, but when with a friend, they must confer with one another to see what the other is having and what size. This information influences what each will order. The question: Why doesn't each get what they really want? What holds them back? What are they afraid of?
I, henceforth, will strive to be grateful for the generosity of my friends and order what it is that I want.

I forgot how much I like Demotivators

Maybe it's unfortunate that I enjoy cynicism, but it's just so funny. My friend Ben reminded me of Demotivators. The tag line: The only consistent feature in all of your dissatisfying relationships is you. Find more funny at dispair.com
