Time Travel Destination

First random idea or question of my blog! Came up in a conversation with a few buddies of mine:

If you had to choose, would you go forwards or backwards in time and why? (for the record a random one-shot trip)

I'd have to say forwards. I am a fan of history and enjoy studying and speculating as to what happened, why and all that; but I am just as interested in the possibilities of the future. I'm intriqued by the assumtion of aliens, space travel, etc. In my own humble opinion the human race has become stagnant for the most part in the 21st century. In the 20th we invented, evolved, and damn-near perfected flight, automotive, computers, etc. Now that we've gotten those you see how little has changed in say...the last 25 years.

Ok I need to work on length and depth of articles but its a WIP.

Beer Before Wicker...

Alright, been slacking off, but apparently that's true to form for any of you that know me. This is one of those lovely nights of communal drinking that are so few and far between now-a-days that something memorable always happens. This one was the christening of my old buddy's first house. A bachelor pad to say the least, but it is a 2 story, 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 car garage, with a den, livingroom, media room, and more hole-in-the-wall closets than I have ever seen. Unlike many of our get togethers this one was just a 'come and drink' sort of shindig and we were well afforded the courtesy of our own 2 hour drive to get there. I'm still unable to tolerate beer unless forced to, but I am becoming partical to the Rum and Coke or similar variant. And two of my buddies know exactly how much to mix them well.

Anyway, we got there about 4pm and were already well into the reserves by 7 and it was obvious we were going to run dry shortly unless we paced ourself or got more. Well a *new* friend of mine was knocking them back a bit more than I and suggested we "just head on over to the Wicker Store and get some more."

"What, and pick up some chairs and a cabinet while were there?" lol.

Also had my first made-from-scratch mojito. I liked it and wish Seth many good things as he goes to get a TABC liscense later this year to bartend.
