Rethinking Drinking and my new Philosophy
Day 100
Well it's been 100 days of travelling! What a milestone.
After my recent trip to hospital though I have been thinking a lot. I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't drink so much. All these forgotten moments and hospital visits are a waste of time and money.
Ok, so lots of funny things happen and people laugh but what's the point if I can't remember any of it. Drink less = remember more. And NO GOON. Just say no to goon (really cheap boxed wine, an Australian thing). Alcohol in excess is bad and leads to bad things. My nose still hurts from the headbutting not long ago and now my head had the biggest, most painful lump on the back with a huge slash across it. It hurts but I suppose that is to be expected.
So after 100 days of travelling I have learnt so much about people, friendship and so forth. Also I have adopted a new philosophy - 'quality and quantity' (when I spoke to my sister on the phone about this she laughed but I'm being serious). The phrase is relevant to so many things in life - drink, food, clothes, dates.
It is scary to think about what happened the other night, but I've ended up in hospital before like the time I got hit by a bus or when I woke up in hospital in Portugal. All alcohol related. Well not just from drinking alcohol but from drinking in severe volumes. It's not good.
Although a lot of people find my stories funny and all, it's not worth it and almost always leads to truoble. Or in my case - hospital.

hey K! yeah i agree- i've been thinking a similar. ignore those people who laugh at you for it- excess is bad. Drinking is so bad that i'm going for an MRI scan on my back which is still not right after drinking too much and falling 10 foot in MAY! a 50% compression fracture for me and a series of injuries for you is not the way forward. Goon symbolises all that is bad and cheap!
GO KELLY!
