How do you do it?
I don't understand...I had 6 IPAs within 4.5 hours and got pretty slammed...then I decided that it would be a good idea to go to the doughnut shop and buy some doughnuts...this would of course require me to drive to the doughnut shop unless I would feel like riding my bike which I didn't actually even think of until right now. That would actually be quite fun and completely devoid of any DUI/DWI dangers....but really...how do you get pulled over? it was 5:35am when I ventured out to the doughnut shop...very drunk...but driving is so amazingly easy...driving a car is nothing...why do so many people fuck it up?
How drunk do you have to be in order to get to the point where you are weaving about within a lane?
How drunk do you have to get before you get to the point where you have difficulty regulating your speed?
How drunk do you have to get before you misjudge the distance between the front of your car and the stop sign thereby stopping either way too soon or way too late?
How drunk do you have to get to the point where you don't notice that a light just changed color within .5 seconds?
I guess the answer is that most people are incredibly bad drivers...totally terrible in terms of ability and perception....horrible horrible horribly awful inept humans that somehow were able to get drivers licenses...
ok...whatever...time to pass out...i guess...
viva los monos...

if the l2icks0r! didn't have adamantium infused into his skeleton, then I'd be worried about his habits. But since he does, it wouldn't worry me if he was dismounted from a truck into a brick wall. But riding your bike while in the |)runken state might avoid disputes with the law, and is therefore a good idea.

and you know what?
this thread actually affected me enough to feel slightly guilty tonight as I drove home decently buzzed from a bar... but I had a discussion about the whole how to get caught thing and know how to do that now.
Anyway...the whole point of this response is to say that I actually thought, "wow I was being kind of ridiculous" and thought that it would be safer to ride my bike down to the store instead of driving....to get more beer...hehe...now am posting on a little bit of alcohol and some tetra hydro cannabinol...and drinking beer that I got buy riding my bike down to the am/pm...hehe! no more drunken doughnut runs for me!!!

The problem is that you were driving at 5:30am!!! 5:30am ??? What is that crap? You can't get a DUI at that time of morning. People are going to work at that time and all the police can hope is that an accident doesn't happen every morning at that time (which it does) to fuck up traffic which makes their life a living hell, with little or no money to be made from it. 1:55am, bar parking lots = CASH!
If you want a DUI here is what you do:
1. Go to the bar at 6pm.
2. Buy 2 pitchers of beer, drink 4 Gin and tonics, 3 Jager bombs and 2 shots of whiskey before midnight. Drink 2 light beers between midnight and 1:55 (MAYBE 1 more Jager bomb) and wheel out of the parking lot around 1:55am.
3. Make a questionable maneuver such as a U-turn out of your steet-side parallel parking job in order to travel in the opposite direction, change lanes without a blinker, or move through a yellow light that would completely be acceptable at rush-hour but in no way at 1:55am at night.
4. Rinse and repeat 2-3 times from a consistant location. You will have your precious DUI.

Do that too many more times and I hope the drunken one has adamantium fused to his sphinter cause you would be going down and getting some serious rough man love in the pen dude. 
Serious though, I am glad you have been thinking about your actions and got on the bike this time. Good move. Bike is more fun anyway when you are off your tits, especially on acid. God I had a good bike ride one day tripping off my head out in the hills of Northern Tasmania, what should have taken me two hours actually took me ten and I remember having a thrilling and very meaningful conversation with several trout and a rather outgoing platypus. And in case you won't to know what a platypus looks like then have a squiz at this
Not usually the most conversant of animals bit I piqued his interest with a discussion of quantum physics. He taught me a thing or two I can tell you.
OK you guessed it I am at the moment the drunken Ramjet

It's TetraHydraCannabinol Delta 9. (DON'T FORGET THE DELTA 9)
I'd try to intervine, but I've completely given up on the ol' Rixlor. (tried that several times in the past) He doesn't learn anything. (except about how to get more fucked up) He won't listen, and will probably end up a text-book example of over-chemicalization. He is surprisingly more resilient than anyone I've ever known (well besides me I suppose) but it WILL in fact catch up one of these days, and in a large way.
Oh well, it sucks, but nothing can be done.
Thing is, he doesn't realize how few people want to hang out with him anymore purely because he can't stay sober for more than 5 minutes. I know so many people who completely enjoy his company, and love him to death, but they all like Rixler, not Intoxicated Rixler. I know so many people who'd invite him over to hang out in a second if he managed to not get fucked up for a prolonged period of time. He'd probably be over at my house every other day if that was the case.
Too bad really, as non-fucked-up-Rixler is one of my BEST friends. Can't stand fucked-up-intoxicated-Rixler at all though.
We used to get fucked up silly all the time, and it was quite enjoyable, but that was several years ago. It's gotten entirely old.
I like to get silly sometimes, but not every day, and not for super-prolonged periods, and not to the point of.... well... that's apparent.
Anyway, my .03 as usual. I like to add the extra value.

Agent Bos - that is a classic.
- J3RK - a bit harsh?... I smell a flame war coming on here.No... It's not harsh. It's the fucking truth. How is it harsh to care about your friend enough to tell them when they're being retarded? How is it harsh to point out that they're either going to end up in jail or dead or something? So maybe they won't continue trying to do stupid things. How is it harsh to let them know exactly why they haven't been contacted in a while by a great many people, so that if they feel like rectifying the problem they can.
I've been hinting at these things for a long time, and even just coming right out and saying them. Some may think it's harsh for me to say such things in a semi-public forum in front of other people, but look at what this person is posting. He's totally opening himself up for this kind of feedback.
Fuck sitting around reading this shit day after day. He obviously wants some feedback or comments if he's going to post shit like that, so here they are. My comments. Did I not mention that he's one of my best friends? It's fucking sad to watch someone close go to hell in the proverbial hand-basket. It's sad to not want your best friend to come over because you think he might do something stupid.
What's harsh? Me stating the truth, and hoping someone will listen a bit, or me watching all this shit happen without saying a word.
Maybe I just grew up a little, but I don't like watching my friends get so fucked up they can't function. I'm far from straight-edge. I smoke, I drink, I occasionally eat some mush, but I don't do it to a degree that I'm out driving around in a stupor, dangling someone's dog off a 25 foot deck, diving into a 3 foot concrete pool, drinking until I can't say a word that makes sense. I don't endanger my friends by getting that fucked up and then driving them home.
Rixler is my friend, I care about him. I'm going to get some flamey replies, and maybe some of the standard issue Rixler replies stating how some people on this board are way too sensitive, and blah blah blah, I'm just spouting these things because I'm drunk. Oh well. At least when someone dies, or crashes into someone killing them, or rots in jail for a while, I can sit here thinking, well, I tried. Everyone else thought it was pretty funny. Guess we know who his friends are.
When someone like me, who has done more chemicals than most of you combined, starts getting worried about someone, you better fracking believe that there is a reason for it.

I don't really care if people get fucked up period. It's the gratuitous fuck up-edness that bothers me. It's when someone can't stand not being fucked up. It's when if they can't get one thing they scamble to get something else. It's the, well if I can't get cola, then I better get, painkillers, oh I'm out of those, so I better get Nyquil, oh, wait......... I found the Agent Bos soundclips to be quite funny. As a point for comparison. But he doesn't do that every day. I liked getting drunk, playing croquet and grilling things to the point where I would walk into the sliding glass door thinking it was open. But I didn't do it every day. I think after a while, pushing the envelope gets old. When you're getting fucked up, just to see how fucked up you can get, it's just stupid. Didn't we do enough of that in the past, to know, "oh yeah, if I do this, I will be this fucked up." Maybe I'm just too logical about it. Most of the people here have seen me completely out of it, drifting somewhere between Neptune and Pluto, but I would hope that they might mention it to me, if I was like that all the time, and couldn't stand being any other way. I've observed some behavior that backs me up a thousand times over, and maybe that's why it seems harsh to everyone else.
What fun is getting fucked up, when the whole time you are, you are constantly thinking about that, and only that. How fucked up am I, I'm this fucked up, better have a little more to get to this level. Oh, my level is dropping, better fix it. I wonder how much it would take to get to this level. Maybe I should add this. Oh, I'm so fucked up. Oh, I'm so fucked up. Ad Nauseum.
Have you ever been next to that E-tard at a party who can't say anything but how fucked up they are. "Oh wow, I'm so fucked up" repeatedly. Is that not the most annoying thing in the world?
When I hang out with Rixler, and he's either sober, or lightly tossed, it's so incredibly fun I can't even tell you. When he goes the step further, it's the E-Tard at the party. All he talks about is the fucked up level, and starts spewing forth data on alcohol percentages, level of fuckedness, what else he'd like to get his hands on. Etc. It's not fun. That's all I'm trying to say. Not to mention what happens when it progresses beyond that.

Oh come now...all of this is because of that *ONE* time (the last time I was over) because all the times before that *ONE* time were never an issue. I thought this was all in the past now...guess not.
I like alcohol - and when I'm in environments that can afford near obliviatorius inebriation devoid of any lame consequences I'm into it...however sometimes that does get old and when that happens I abstain for a while, like 4-6 weeks, and then it becomes appealing again I begin a new cycle and ramp up consumption as time goes on and repeat the cycle thus.

That incident is in the past. I had to bring it up to illustrate my point. I'm not changing my viewpoint. You'll just have to give me a call when you're in the other end of the cycle. It's that time, that made me realize that there was a problem. You always do things to excess, so it was the type of problem that just sat in the back of my head. No need to say anything. I hadn't actually been in your presence for that level of stupidry before that though. But, obviously that means that the potential is there for it, and especially in your case. Anyway, of course you can do whatever you want, but if you post a bunch a crap while you're drunk on a semi-public forum, I feel like I can post what I think of that crap.

Guys. I don't know any of you personally or the dynamics between you, so take what I'm writing with a grain of salt because I'm just going on what i'm reading in teh 3ndarzone but...
12ixor, it sounds like you have a friend who really cares about you, and it might be good to just listen and absorb what your friend is trying to tell you.
3ndar, Jerk's post is some serious stuff right there... I think it's a bad call to dismiss it as "harsh."

Yeah, those soundbites of me are out there...bad, bad, bad. I don't like getting that wasted but, Ryland was in town so it just kind of happened. But indeed, there was a time when I really liked to get overtly innebriated at all times. Now, I have priorities during the week and a lot of weekends. I work all week and I take my job pretty seriously, I play in a band which practices atleast one a week and plays shows almost every weekend. I don't drink at practice, I don't drink at work, and I don't drink when I'm playing a show. I do however like to drink on my off days (a saturday night when I don't have to play) and apparently the last time I didn't quite realize what I was doing when I drank the triple shot of liquid cocaine. Bleh, shit happens. I hope I'm not a wastoid. No one wants to be an E-tard.

12ixlor what j3rk has just written is one of the surest signs of true friendship there is. It's not easy to say those things and it comes from the heart. Listen and take in what he is saying. Have a good think about it with some good hard self-intraspection and if you still don't agree with it then fine.
I have been in what I think is a similar situation with two of my good friends and even though it upset them greatly at the time, I am glad I said what I did when I did. In the end our friendship and there lives were much better for it.
Please pardon this level of frankness from a stranger.

Points taken
even though I'm someone who "won't listen" and "doesn't learn anything" and "holds small dogs over 25' dropoffs" and "dives into 3' pools smacking head" and "takes trips out to Pasco" and "steals beer when the bartender isn't looking" hehe ok so maybe nobody said anything about the beer stealing thing...(but that doesn't mean that it didn't happen... )
Roger, you are being way too polite to me when you say please pardon you - your tact is wasted on someone like me...
So I've learned now that some things are best left unsaid. No one would have known anything about me if I hadn't been so open and comfortable with posting anything here - but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't continue to happen, it's just that no one would know about it but everyone would think I was just some totally normal guy. I posted what I posted because I thought it would be found to be humorous...not shocking or worry instilling but it's kind of out of context when you think about it because most of all of you are not drunk and in a more sensible frame of mind so it becomes less than humorous and instead makes people uncomfortable so I am going to cut back on what I choose to disclose as well as the frequency.
Oh and everything is as fine as it can be with me and J3RK given the recent events so no one needs to concern themselves with convincing me about taking what he said seriously.
Now drink up!

I thought what J3RK said originally was a bit harsh but his follow ups were both caring and elquent.
As I see the situation here it is being misrepresented a bit from both sides. l2icks0r definitely likes to get fux0red. There is no question about that. But l2icks0r has always liked to get fux0red, and it seems to me that his recent behavior is not really that different than what has happened in the past, or from other peoples behaviors. There are, though, a few factors in play here that make things seem so much grander in proportion.
1. This Forum. l2icks0r has turned (at least a portion of) this forum into somewhat of a personal journal. We have all read his extreme drunken posts and recently I have witnessed him a number of times (after a few drinks) ignoring other people that were hanging out to sit and craft 1-2 hour long forum posts. But l2icks0r! and especially l)runken l2icks0r! are not the real Rick. His posts are sensationalized and exaggerated in order to entertain...whether or not they do. After being asked at least a half a dozen times, "What's up with that l2icks0r dude?" I began to wonder myself. I was pleased to find that hanging out with Rick over the past month was exactly like it was last year and how it has been in the past.
2. J3RK's recent accelerated maturing. Please don't take this the wrong way. It is certainly not a negative thing, but it is undeniable that over the last year J3RK has made some major changes in his life from getting married to raising a child and now caring for a newborn. It was a very moving moment for me a few days ago to watch J3RK quietly cradling his 13 day old daughter with unmatched love and devotion in his eyes (I have some pictures of Miette I wil post when I get a chance). But this new role has, very reasonably, made him more protective of his family and his life. Again, I don't think this is a bad thing, but in the past where J3RK would have been right there with l2icks0r diving into 3 foot pools, or at least cheering on his drunken stupidity, he instead sees that kind of behavior (the pool diving is just an example) as an unneccessary risk.
3. The spiral. In the past, if J3RK was upset with l2icks0r they just wouldn't hang out for a bit, but this forum has kept them in constant contact throughout that time and it has just made the matters worse. Instead of time passing, l2icks0r's constant commenting and drunken storytelling has just aggrevated the situation. I tried to help things along by talking to l2icks0r about the situation and explain J3RK's point to view, which I very much agree with. This didn't work out so well and just seemed to add to the stalwartness of stubb0rn-l2icks0r's attitude of "Why should I change? He's the one that changed." So his subsequent attempt to 'mend bridges,' which turned out to be an attempt to 'get his point across' has only served to spiral this matter worse. I think from here it will only get better if a) time passes or b) l2icks0r comes to understand that J3RK's current attitude doesn't have a lot of tolerance for l2icks0r-sized antics and he needs to avoid that kind of behavior with him instead of pushing the envelope further to try to bring J3RK around (becasue that is not going to happen).
Anyway, I have gotten a bit off the topic of l2icks0r having a problem. l2ick's real problem seems to be that he wants people to think he has a problem, which works really well with strangers. I don't have any idea why he gets off from that...but I really don't think it is as bad as it sounds. l2icks0r like to get fux0red, and his he would likely be better off if he didn't get fux0red as often... but l2icks0r is also in better shape physically than anyone I know, and certainly for his age. He understands his body chemistry well and has shown an insane ability to absorb substances. I would seriously plead with l2icks0r to avoid dangerous binges and most importantly avoid just plain stupid things like driving when his is fux0red - just straight up DON'T DO IT. But l2icks0r does need people like J3RK there to slap him when he gets out of line and to tell him, maybe he should slow down sometimes. While it is my opinion that teh l2icks0r's current situation is not dangerous (any more than normal - agreed, he wouldn't have as much time to be l)runken l2icks0r if he got a job - but who am I to talk) he could someday find himself in a "dangerous" position if he pushes people that do care, like teh J3RK, away.
As I see the situation here it is being misrepresented a bit from both sides. l2icks0r definitely likes to get fux0red. There is no question about that. But l2icks0r has always liked to get fux0red, and it seems to me that his recent behavior is not really that different than what has happened in the past, or from other peoples behaviors.

Again, I don't think this is a bad thing, but in the past where J3RK would have been right there with l2icks0r diving into 3 foot pools, or at least cheering on his drunken stupidity, he instead sees that kind of behavior (the pool diving is just an example) as an unneccessary risk.
3. The spiral. In the past, if J3RK was upset with l2icks0r they just wouldn't hang out for a bit, but this forum has kept them in constant contact throughout that time and it has just made the matters worse. Instead of time passing, l2icks0r's constant commenting and drunken storytelling has just aggrevated the situation. I tried to help things along by talking to l2icks0r about the situation and explain J3RK's point to view, which I very much agree with. This didn't work out so well and just seemed to add to the stalwartness of stubb0rn-l2icks0r's attitude of "Why should I change? He's the one that changed." So his subsequent attempt to 'mend bridges,' which turned out to be an attempt to 'get his point across' has only served to spiral this matter worse. I think from here it will only get better if a) time passes or b) l2icks0r comes to understand that J3RK's current attitude doesn't have a lot of tolerance for l2icks0r-sized antics and he needs to avoid that kind of behavior with him instead of pushing the envelope further to try to bring J3RK around (becasue that is not going to happen).
Anyway, I have gotten a bit off the topic of l2icks0r having a problem. l2ick's real problem seems to be that he wants people to think he has a problem, which works really well with strangers. I don't have any idea why he gets off from that...but I really don't think it is as bad as it sounds. l2icks0r like to get fux0red, and his he would likely be better off if he didn't get fux0red as often... but l2icks0r is also in better shape physically than anyone I know, and certainly for his age. He understands his body chemistry well and has shown an insane ability to absorb substances. I would seriously plead with l2icks0r to avoid dangerous binges and most importantly avoid just plain stupid things like driving when his is fux0red - just straight up DON'T DO IT. But l2icks0r does need people like J3RK there to slap him when he gets out of line and to tell him, maybe he should slow down sometimes. While it is my opinion that teh l2icks0r's current situation is not dangerous (any more than normal - agreed, he wouldn't have as much time to be l)runken l2icks0r if he got a job - but who am I to talk) he could someday find himself in a "dangerous" position if he pushes people that do care, like teh J3RK, away.

My thoughts...
1. Yes I've definitely been using the forum as a form of a personal journal...but I would really only post personal things when drunk and so what that meant is that I would post pretty much anything...whatever I was thinking about during that drunken time...from rambling on and on about this or that to profane rants of anger, concern, frustration, despair...whatever...it didn't matter because I didn't care...Over time this just became a habit of mine. A ritual or tradition I had for ending the evening where I would have a few drinks and type a few posts...I've kept journals in the past about life, job, bmx, exercise - but nobody ever read them and I wasn't drunk while writing in them. I would go back only so often though and reread them later and be quite entertained and laugh at myself about how I used to think about things...and that's what I thought would happen with the posts here is that they would be found to be humorous. Many of the posts were found to be funny while others invoked quite a bit of shock and maybe disturbed a few people but it was the truth and so I didn't see why I should care because life can be humorous, shocking, and disturbing at times. I also like writing them to entertain myself if you can beleive that, and just writing for the sake of writing - it's relaxing for me.
2. Yeah, I haven't been maturing or taking on any responsibility at all lately - in fact I've been going the other way...I want zero responsibility. I don't want to take care of any pets, I don't want to water any plants, I don't want a job, I don't want to reqlinquish any of my time for anything except me. Me me me...Self indulgence through personal freedom from as much responsibility is such a delight for me right now.
3. No comment!
4. I've been misunderstood. I'm not trying to make people think that I have a problem. The truth is that everyone has problems but nobody posts about them and honestly a lot of what I have said has been misconstrued.
