Beginning with my Navy days and through my early 30s, drinking was all about getting laid. In fact, everything I did was about getting laid. My second day in boot camp, the company commander asked me why I enlisted. I said, “Money.” He said, “Money for what?” I should have said, “Get your money for nothing and your chicks for free.” But I said I wanted money to buy a corvette. Then with a gleam in his eye, he asked why I wanted a corvette. Of course, I wanted the car because I thought it would help me get laid and I said so – in R rated language. He announced to the other 89 guys that we were probably all there for the same reason. You see, it is universally understood.

How often do you drink a Coca-cola or another Coke brand product? Not many people can answer, “never” to this question. Coke has been around over a hundred years (starting as just a syrup which still to this day is the secret ingredient), and restaurants around the world use the syrup and add [...]

I’m a bartender. Every day people sit down at the bar where I work and order Manhattans, Martinis and Margaritas. I can make all of these drinks in my sleep, but sometimes I just want to yell, WAKE UP, it’s 2010, and there are hundreds of great drinks I can make. So I’m using my blog this month to appeal to all the 30pov readers to “make the day” of their favorite bartender and order one of the great drinks I‘ve listed below instead of the classic favorites.

Ten years ago I was walking down the road. I wondered where would I be in the next decade. How would my life change for the better or worse. I was living with a good friend named Pat O. I was in between cars, relationships and jobs. I only had about fifty bucks and a six pack of some nasty brew. I wondered where did my 20’s go.

But you won’t see any famous golfer eat more often than Tiger Woods while he is playing golf – except maybe the infamous John Daly. The difference is that Tiger eats half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every 4th hole or so. John Daly eats a Big Mac, large fries, and an apple pie after every hole. Tiger’s golf ball and perhaps the rookie paired with him in the final round of a major championship are the gluttons for punishment in this story.

(For future reference, always ask people going INTO the casino to help you. When people first get there, they are optimistic and in a good mood. They will do anything you ask them to do. When they are coming OUT of the casino after losing all their money, they will not help you. They will spit on you and pour beer on you and swear at you and push you down and try to rip the DWI device off the steering wheel. Not to mention, that people coming OUT of the casinos are drunk and will not be able to get the car started.)

When I think of the environment, I think blue. I live in Florida where the skies and the oceans are always blue. And ever since I started thinking about writing a blog on Green Ethics, I have had the blues.

One night after a few beers, I drove up to a stoplight and noticed a chick I knew waiting at the light. I saw a slippery spot in the road, and tried to impress her by doing a 360°. Unfortunately, I did not see the two police cars on the opposite corner. Though my 360° [...]
