Mediocrity and spawning a wallflower occurs at or near the Auspicious time of 11:08pm on the “lucky” day of Friday the 13th

So my new friend came in tonight and I hooked him up and he was grateful. Afterwards came home after over 9 hour shift and ran into my neighbors who I hardly run into. They were having a “cocktail” party and invited me over. It’s not really my thing, but decided to go over. I threw on some nice threads and went over. Lots of college kids with polos and so forth were gathered around kegs, others were playing ping-pong, a few more grunting by a beer bong. In the other room they were pouring shots of hard liquor. It isn’t my thing, but these are “typical” college kids I guess. I poured myself a half glass of cranberry juice and don’t think anyone knew I was drinking a non-alcoholic beverage. My drinking career is shorter than the one hit wonder career of a rock star on VH1. I drank half a Busch beer and threw up when 16 after a Fourth of July party at the condo I was living at, when 18 drank a "sex on the beach" and glass of champagne at my cousin’s wedding, and lastly when 19 drank half a 40 ounce of St. Ides, ala Mobb Deep, beer flavored malt booze with my best friend and wound up taking off my clothes off dancing on a bed with two female friends over. That’s my drinking career. The party was a bit of culture shock because I missed out on parties like this and "Animal House" in college. Well I did sample Doritos and Lays potato chips, something I haven’t done since India when I would occasionally buy a bag, a really, really tiny bag for negative 20 U.S. cents, or 10 rupees.
I also sampled a cupcake and after finishing my cranberry juice or “beer”, I headed home to read a sloka of the Gita and finish watching “Naked in Ashes”, a film about sadhus in India. India: 1 billion people, 13 million holy men, probing the deepest mysteries of life. I would recommend the film, it is excellent. Jai Ma!!!
