Still working on this, lessons learned from drunken nights.
Weaving through wanton waving limbs holding glasses filled with iced down alcohol, I found myself face to face with an uncomfortable case of booty chase. My boy comes up to me with a Grinch like grin and proposed that, ” we should have an early Christmas with these hoes.”
He’s the kind of dude that tries to date girls for their sisters, leaves blisters in his homie’s hands when their big brothers come around. I mean, this is that guy at the party kissing every female hand he can find claiming to be sent by the divine spirit, tells us all the girls want it, when really, all they want is not to hear it. I was there the day he went to the pains of editing Lil Wayne on his phone, two hours for a 20 second ring tone so he could let every red bone class know that he, “just wanna fuck every girl in the world,” when his Mom calls. Seriously, I heard him call a girl “Mignon,” and I knew that was the only French work his tongue would do that night.
But I’m tugged along his mishap road by the obligating pull of Bro-Code. He guides me again through the crowds downing shot after shot by Lil Jons command, pulls his hand up to a stop and for effect lets his jaw drop as we stand in front of the vast mass of cats doing the no pants dance. It was an ocean brimming with the fish your best friends assured you were out there, so we charter a vessel, take a shot and nestle ourselves into comfortable positions and he starts casting his lines.
“Hey Girl what’s your sign, ‘cause mine is this,” throws up the Shocker, laughs obnoxiously and I can see his muscles begin to pucker for a kiss. But he gets no bites.
I Pledge Allegiance to the Swag
That's what happens. You let people in, and they destroy you.
That ONE time you feel hyper and want to do something but everyone else is tired
5 Unexpected Downsides of High Intelligence →

5. You’re Probably a Night Owl (which is bad!) - Recently, scientists discovered a quirky side effect to having a high IQ: You tend to stay up until later hours and get up later in the morning. These sleeping habits mean you’re also three times more likely to suffer the symptoms of depression, as well as being at higher risk for heart disease and suffer more arterial stiffness than those who go to bed early
4. You’re Less Likely to Pass On Your Genes - A 2008 national census reported that women who had dropped out of high school had the most children on average. Research shows that countries with high national IQs tend to have lower childbirth rates in general compared with countries that can’t collectively tie their shoelaces together.
But it’s not all bad news. There’s evidence that the highly educated get more enjoyment out of sex than the dumb jocks.
3. You’re More Likely to Lie - The problem with being the smartest guy in the room is that you usually know you’re the smartest guy in the room. You know you have an intellectual edge and can’t help but abuse it. IQ bestows the gift of deception.
2. You’re More Likely to Believe Bullshit - Smart people believe weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons.
1. You’re More Likely to be Self-Destructive - The thing is, the great minds are full of curiosity. Smart people are more likely to be drunks, and people who fall into the “very bright” category (IQs of 125 or greater) are more likely to drink excessively and binge drink.
