I finally get the wagon metaphor

So I fell off the wagon - really hard - this weekend.

This was supposed to be the month of clean living. And I made it all the way to Friday. I went to the gym Friday. I came home and settled in for a quite night. But my roommate forgot her phone at the apartment, so all the people calling her to make plans we getting me instead.

I just HAD to go down the street to where she was predrinking to give her her phone. And how the hell was I going to avoid the temptation after that?

I was considering titling this post: "Will-I-Am-Not"

I was really disappointed with myself. I cannot put my mind to ANYTHING and accomplish it. Its like I'm incapable.

I could go on for days justifying it. A good friend from out of town was down, and he did his best in showing us a good time in Seoul when we went up, so the favor had to be returned (and the guy owns a bar, great friend to have).

I also went off my diet. Had me some nice dunkas at 4 in the morning after the bar. And since I was out so late drinking tequila and giant and tonics, I couldn't make it to the gym on Saturday.

For fucking shame.

However my philosophy remains absolutely no regrets. I had a great time both Friday and Saturday night (on Saturday I drank beer *gasp* - I'm broke and it was the only solution). And life it too fucking short. I live my life more or less like I might die tomorrow and so I do the things that satisfy me.

And so I will take a step back and appreciate a life of moderation. I'll do my clean living thing during the week and enjoy a night out (or two) on the weekend. This weekend X has a friend from Canada coming. We have a Gongshow Galbi planned for him. I'm really looking forward to it.

Update: I was looking for a picture of dunkas and the only one I could find was from a Korean restaurant in LA.

Now I know it isn't actually Korean food, but actually Japanese (most good Korean food isn't Korean). So I searched and found this.
