Here's to you, my ugly friend

I had disappaeared for a while and have only recently resurfaced. The sole reason of this was my summer internship, which besides moving along really well, keeps me busy for upto 14 hrs. Everyday. Coupled with a need to find an apartment in this city, each day knocks in quite a punch. Most people I used to hang with have now got new friends, new apartments or have moved to different cities. I have had more than one person come and tell me that theres a hush around campus about my finally flipping the lid, which i would like to think is falsified information probably instigated by propaganda of some classmates who get paid for not working at all.

A rumour that I had locked myself in my apartment and gotten addicted to eating custard was just that. (A rumour not custard, you moron)

So obviously, with all this happening, it doesnt leave much time for socialising but yesterday while a friend and I landed at a favourite haunt, he reminded me of how I had been the 'dial a drinking toast/quote' person in college.

It made me wonder why I don't celebrate a drink with a friend in the same fashion any longer. Perhaps its the way my hectic schedule has made me or maybe I have just changed for the worse.

Whatever it is, it is unacceptable and I vow to never again indulge in my drink without taking time to appreciate it, especially around a friend.

I enclose some of my all time favourite drinking toasts here. Even if one person who reads this remembers to celebrate his/her drink with a friend, it would have made me a very happy man. Cheers!

Here's to the girl I love the best.
I've loved her naked, and I've loved her dressed.
I've loved her standing and I've loved her lying.
And if she had wings, I'd love her flying.
And when she's dead and long forgotten,
I'll dig her up and love her rotten.

Here's to all of the women who have used me and abused me...
And may they continue to do so!

I like beer. On occasion, I will even drink beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that the refrigerator is still working. -- Dave Barry

Work is the curse of the drinking class. --Oscar Wilde

The mouth of a perfectly happy man is filled with beer. --Ancient Egyptian Wisdom, 2200 B.C.

The problem with some people is that when they aren’t drunk they're sober. --William Butler Yeats

Here's to cheating, stealing, fighting, and drinking.
If you cheat, may you cheat death
If you steal, may you steal a woman's heart.
If you fight, may you fight for a brother
And if you drink, may you drink with me. -- Alexander Botham

Of all my favorite things to do,the utmost is to have a brew.
My love grows for my foamy friend,
with each thirst-quenching elbow bend.
Beer's so frothy, smooth and cold--It's paradise--pure liquid gold.
Yes, beer means many things to me...That's all for now, I gotta pee! -- Varun Cheemra (?)
