Everywhere I go, I'm reminded of several of the things my Salad mentioned. One of his main points was basically not to give an expletive about what other people think of you; be your own identity and don't make yourself into what other people see. That basic theme was mentioned at school four different times today, in four different contexts. Is this always going on, or have I just not been paying attention? I wonder why I paid attention when the person telling me was drunk. Possibly because it was a novel experience to be talking to a drunk person. Possibly because he was being amazingly honest. Well, he's always bluntly honest, but he was being uninhibited and going off on tirades (that's what he called them; it didn't seem that way to me).
Heh, it was very amusing, though not in a humorous way. He admitted Tuesday night that one thing he's never accused of being is a boring drunk. And one good thing about it is the drunker he gets, the more completely harmless. Oh yeah! Amusing point in the conversation: "I'm not telling you this to impress you, because obviously I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about me. I'm not telling you this to get you in the sack, because obviously your mother is right here. But, I am in charge of a continent." "Which continent?" "Europe. But I'm a nobody still. I'm only 31." You have to put slight slurs on all the words and talk with great emphasis. It was really silly.
Keep not humility but a realistic perception of yourself, and don't let stupid people's (most people are stupid) opinions influence that perception. Life Lesson Number One.
