I was on probation for seven months and changed counselors three times. for what reason, i don't know. the first was this black lady who was really indifferent to everything. you could tell she was an old timer and just wanted to get you in and out of there so here day could go by. the second was this pretty hot chick about my age with a really sexy southern accent and she always wore black. she kept this real nice picture of her boyfriend on her desk. the last counselor was some older white lady who reminded me of a substitute teacher i had in middle school. anyway, 45 bucks a month for me to walk in say "hi how you doing?" and then leave. so it's nice to be done. not that i cared, i just hated giving those jokers my money. |

thing that really got my goat though is the way they treat you in there. like everyone who is on probation is there for killing their own grandmother for crack money or something. miss corleta robinson, the cashier. this black lady with that immaculate sculptured hair that looks absolutely ridiculous. never looks at you as you deal with her. they sit behind this glass enclosure like we're wild animals at the fucking zoo and they need to be protected. bunch of fat asses. this one lady was drinking a slim fast and i felt like saying. you need to get your fat-envelope-opening-telephone-answering-ass up and get some exercise. funny how people like that think they can do nothing more than drink a slim fast for breakfast and in two weeks they'll look totally hot in a bikini. dumbass. |
it has completely changed the way I drink though. |
|
pisses me off cause cops are such hypocrites. |
you break the law, you pay the price. you have no one but yourself to blame. |

and i guarantee every motherfucker in here has drank and drove at some point. |

despite this, i can still definitely appreciate the anti-authoritarian sentiment. i don't really understand the urge to drink & drive (or to drive stoned). it's just nothing that ever appealed to me. it's illogical. i was going to say that maybe it's a guy thing, but that'd be insulting to all the female drunks out there. funny thing....in all of the above accidents, the drunks just got up & walked away. they didn't get hurt at all. not a single goddamned one of them. fuck the state. but don't drink & drive. |
and i never will |
|
*end of rant* |
But i have since then actually cut off my social activities because they involved drinking and I was driving. I had to remove myself from even the temptation to drink. |
"it sucks to think that this world is so big and we're just these organisims running around on it and why can one organisim such as a cop or a judge be given the power to screw with my life and what i do." What a dumb thing to say. DUI laws aren't there for the hell of it, and the cops and the judges aren't the ones screwing with your life if you break them. |
I know I personally am not in favor of that. |
I've often noticed that heavy drinkers (and this often applies to other substances) think that everyone drinks (or smokes, or what have you). My dad, as a therapist, has told me that he's had a number of patients who did meth, and didn't know anyone who didn't... except for their therapists, I guess. Never having been drunk, I guess I don't know the reasons behind those who drive in such a condition. I've heard many of my peers actually claim that they drive BETTER drunk. I've heard this lots of times. Idiots. My dad was an alcoholic. (is? They say once your're an alcoholic, you always are.) He hasn't touched any in years, and his life is good now. He's happy, and I'm happy for him. I really don't know if he ever drove drunk. Right, this didn't go anywhere. I guess my point is that the assumption that everyone has driven drunk is even more wrong than the assumption that everyone drinks. |
