Drunk On the Spirit (Part 1)

Drunk On the Spirit (Part 1)
HOWL Magazine

As promised, here is the completed Drunk on the Spirit. Sorry this took so long, but maybe this will make it worth it.

Fill yourself up with the Spirit, be free of the spirits

I don’t care if its fine, please put down the bottle of wine

If you truly have someone dear, take your face out of that beer

You look really pale, or is that just your 5th ale?

You come up to me and you say “I’m dandy”, I really know that’s just the brandy

I see everyone everywhere drowning in sin, that’s not their fault, that’s probably the gin

If you’re full of yourself and think yourself a thumb breaker, you’ve probably had too many shots of Jaeger.


This goes out to everyone, who’s making themselves sick

Whether you’ve had only one drink, or you’re a complete alcoholic

I understand the alcohol changes you, makes you sail

Let’s see if you’re still saying that when you’re rotting in jail

It makes you do the unexpected, lets you live life more easily

Well buddy, I have two words for you: public indecency.


You say I don’t know what I’m talking about, you think I just can’t

Let me offer some numbers to back up my rant.


First number to remember: 199.

That’s how many billions of dollars are spent on each year

I swear I’m not joking, this isn’t being played by ear

That’s not enough? You want more to hear?

Listen to this next line, see if you’re still not reeling with fear


Next number: 50.

That’s the percentage of driving fatalities that are involving alcohol.

That number gets you thinking, makes you feeling

The gears in your head should be turning, you should be positively reeling.


One last number to prove my point today,

This is the last thing I’m going to say


The last number: 6

That's how many people are killed by alcohol every day

You hear that saying "there's absolutely no way!"

Addiction is an ongoing battle, it's an endless fray

Unfortunately at the moment, it's a problem that's here to stay.


This poem isn't meant to solely be an IQ flaunt

Let me tell you about the type of drunkenness you do want.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
