Friday Happy Hour

It's Friday so obviously I already have the itch to drink. Yes folks, I am indeed writing this at 8:06 AM.

I don't think that means anything, but hey you can never trust an alcoholic. Wait what?

Regardless of if you feel thinking about drinking and partying during the wee hours of the morning is a problem, I think most can appreciate that drinks after work to start the weekend is a fantastic thing. After all the BS that we put up with at work during the week, that little drink does wonders to make all that stuff not matter anymore.

Today's post will cover the alcoholic beverages I am currently pledging my allegiance to. Damn it that makes me sounds like an alcoholic again. Oh well.


My current, favorite drink of choice: Grey Goose on the rocks with a lemon

Doesn't get much better than this folks. Strength you want in a good drink, without the nasty flavors you'll find with other alcohols like scotch or rum. I'm not knocking scotch, I've drank it before, in mass quantities even. But let's be honest, it tastes like armpit. I also can't really get down with mojitos or alcohol/juice or alcohol/soda mixes. Some of those drinks are just too sweet and mixing alcohol with other liquids only takes away glass space that could have been filled with more alcohol. This is important especially in clubs and lounges in NYC when you're paying $15.00 per drink. You can buy me a drink with the money you just saved not filling up on cranberry juice.

This is why the Grey Goose on the rocks with a lemon or "The Tom" is so good. Lots of vodka in the glass and it tastes good. If you don't trust me, try it out. After the 2nd one you'll think you're drinking good old agua.

My beer of choice: Coors Light

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I already know some of you are snickering. Folks, when I'm drinking beer, I'm not trying to appreciate the hoppy character or anything fancy like that. Like any other alcoholic beverage, when I'm drinking beer, I'm trying to get drunk.

That's the problem, getting drunk by drinking beer is hard work. With such a low alcohol percentage you need to drink a lot just to get "a buzz." So drinking beer for me is a numbers game -- drink as much as you can as fast as you can. That being said, why not drink the lightest, coldest beer possible to make that process easier? And for that, we have good old Coors Light.

For the record, yes, I am white trash.

---------------------------------------------------------

I was gonna get into some other drinking stuff, but I think I'll save that for a future post. Do I smell a Friday themed post ahead? Possibly....

Have fun this weekend folks. Try out "The Tom" or drink Coors Light all day long. You will not be disappointed.

Oh yeah, don't drink and drive.

Be careful. I love you, aight?

Really? Are We Sure About This? *SPOILER ALERT*

Last night on the season finale of Top Chef, Hosea from Colorado pulled the upset and beat out this season's consistent challenge winner Stefan.

From the title of this post you can probably tell how I feel about this.

Hosea sucked. He sucked all season. All he did was try to mack on Leah the whole time, actually succeeded, and then regressed in fear. What a poon. Also, he strongly reminds me of Mister Potato Head. I honestly cannot remember a single impressive dish he cooked that sticks out in my mind. Granted I don't have the privelege of actually eating the stuff, but I can at least recount a bunch of dishes Stefan and Carla (the other runner-up) made this year.

This ranks up there with season 2 and its so-called "winner" Ilan. He fucking sucked too.

Here's how I rank the 5 season champions.

5. Ilan
4. Hosea
3. Harold
2. Stephanie
1. Hung

Regardless, I'll miss the show and look forward to the next season. Hopefully Comcast gets me fucking Bravo HD by then.

Just cause I <3 You Padma

I'm Tom, How the Hell are Ya?

Greetings potential blog reading audience. I don't think it bares necessity to say so, but this is my first entry. Impressed by my writing skills yet? Probably not, but give it time, I'll grow on you.

Considering this is in fact the first time many of you will be reading anything written by yours truly, I suppose this first entry should be devoted to me introducing myself.

In the spirit of blogging, I will do so in a quick, convenient, easy to read, (lazy) little list.

___________________________________________________________________


1. I am "The Man." I know this because I tell myself so during my daily affirmations.

2. I am not the funniest, the most athletic, the best looking (I'm lying), or even the smartest (I'm lying), but I know for sure that I am the Tom_Ace-est.

3. I'm probably the most humble person ever.

4. While I do appreciate good writing and proper grammar and the such, you will sometimes find some incorrect punctuations or other general writing errors within my posts. Scruw you,

5. I like nice things and treat myself to them at will.

OK well, that completes my first entry. I know you're riveted but please hold your fan letters till I write some more and feel like I deserve them.

Please do stop in again though, otherwise all this time at work I'm wasting will be for nothing.

Special shoutout to Adrie and Robyn for inspiring me to become a blogger.
