Went out last night to only hang out with folks for a little while in honor (kinda) of one of my friends, Darth Fader, becoming gainfully employed again. I'm broke and just needed to get out. Had a rum and coke before arriving and figured I would only get like 2 beers and be good.WRONG.Forgot my other friend, SHOTS!, would be there. More drinks were brought, shots were taken, we went to another

From like 6 or 7 years back, my boys in The Dugout performing an old hit(with a cameo by me at around the 3:15 mark). Good olde times.Now back to nursing my minor furniture building, rum drinking hangover.....UGGGHHH!

By circumstances that vary as to whether they are under my control or not, I've been pretty sober(ish). Basically, I'm broke so can't go out unless it's a major event that I have to be out, i.e. a friend's birthday.So, I don't know when I'll be updating this one but probably won't be any time soon. If I do, I'll announce it on All Sean Fields.Til then, drink up for me.

Didn't drink this year. Game was not as exciting, commercials were not as good and life was not as sweet.Wings DID rock as usual though.

“I don’t need a birthday cause I buy myself all the presents I need. And because of my drinking, they’re often a surprise.”So, obviously, I'm back to drinking. Been back for awhile but nowhere as extreme as I used to be.Except for the weekend of November 28th. I turned 30 and figured I would drink a little more than usual. I planned on making it a small affair (vastly different from my 29th

Got posts ready in my head but have yet to put them down, including my friend's going away party and yesterday's shenanigans. Until then let these 2 snippet I took yesterday afternoon and about 2 weeks ago tide you over. Slainte. UPDATE- I apologize for the crappy quality of these vids. Got an actual camera so the quality should improve moderately. Still, I think the grainy work gives

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!! Or is it Merry St. Patrick’s Day...I can never tell with these holidays.Whatever. Welcome to another day where you have an excuse to get drunk. Lucky you.Bastard.St. Paddy's Day has the distinction of being my 4th favorite yet most hated drinking holiday. Before I come to how it accomplishes this miraculous dichotomous existence I guess I should give a quick run-down on

It’s a random Thursday in a month so that can only mean one thing- Up All Day Art Show time. YAY!!!!Really, this is one of the few times in the month I get some actual g-damn culture in this town. There is like a vacuum of intelligence here that I only experience outside of the circle of my friends. I’m still trying to figure out if that is it just being a by-product of this being a tourist town

(Apologies but shite has been real in the field for a minute for me- I got more coming this weekend)YEE-HAW! I was bored two Saturdays back and had no clue as to what to do besides hit McMullan’s. I had a friend in town but he was equally clueless about the next move and his actions were dependent on the movements of a larger group. Besides, last time we hung out, we ended up at a club, I hit on

Thursday night rolls around again and I’m at home about to enjoy a phone date (and yeah, it’s EXACTLY what you think). It was a good one but I also just wanted to get out of Emo-Ville for awhile. I see a twitter alert from two buddies- UAD1 and Capt. Sparrow- about a straight shot into TAO for the night. I’ve been to TAO before and remember it, kinda, being a good time so I’m like “Bet.

When I wrote the Starbuck entry, I received some good feedback and suggestions for future entries to this category of my blog. (please leave comments, folks) One was from a Twitter friend and she nominated a character from a show I had never watched- Californication. She usually has good taste (except for liking LOST but, alas, we can't all be perfect like me) so I went to learn more. I rented

For the fifth or maybe it's the sixth night/day, my roommate's drinking and eating and not giving a crap about the general reality of affairs continues. I find it amusing that I can leave the house in the morning or afternoon and come home to a completely new female face sitting on the couch. Plus, I sometimes get free food out of the whole she-bang.All of this is inspiring me to work harder to

Three day weekend. Well, really a two day weekend for me since I work on Saturdays. Either way, an extra day to pretend like you are going to catch up on things to be done but really an excuse to sit around and accomplish nothing or go out and party for an extra night. Most likely, with mass quantities of alcohol consumed.I mean that's what Abe Lincoln and the rest of the crew were all about,

This weekend, as with most weekends recently, have consisted of me going out solo. I am very broke so this limits the venues I can go to and make sure I can get my money’s worth. I have to plan accordingly and as such for two evenings in a row I ended up at my favorite local pub, McMullan’s.I realized a few things as I sat there on Saturday night and even moreso on Sunday.- I go there a lot.

This is exactly why although I might get moody about it, I'm SO glad I took a break from all those wicked vine/potato/wheat/honey concoctions.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1136287/One-night-stand-man-wakes-lover-carved-arm.htmlI really don't want to have to choke anyone in the morning.

So there is an open bar for First Friday, which is a cool night downtown every month. The drink of choice for it is my night killer/thriller Southern Comfort. I could drink that stuff straight up like Kool-Aid. Hell, I have drunk it WITH Kool-Aid.I will MURDER you, S.C.Such a good buzz, particularly if I go and see art.If I actually make it, can spend two dollars and can leave from work at a

Before we begin the first of the My Favorite Fictional Lush Today series, I have to explain. Sometimes there are characters created who drink WAY more than any normal human should. Yet, they still have something, a je ne sais quoi if you will, that keeps us rooting for them. Not to necessarily clean their act up but to be the most AWESOME version of their character that they can be.With that said

To go along with my usual non-"me not drinking" posts I decided to post entries about my favorite boozers every once in a while. This idea came about when I was talking with Heathcliff Huxtable* about my love for a famous singer and asked him if I should just post her or start something up a la the Chick of the Day/Song of the Day thing I do on twitter. I said "Frak it. I'll do it."So, without

Looking over this blog I realize that I won't be able to update as much as possible with non-shenanigans because 1)I'm staying in more for monetary reasons and 2)I'm getting old. As the late, great Bernie Mac would say, My body weary. Instead, I will try to provide little updates, articles or just randomness once or twice a week if I do not go out.

As I'm committed to continue my normal outings, I decided to go to an art show hosted by my friends at UpAllDay.com. They do a roughly monthly art show in the Bellagio at Caramel Bar and Lounge. It's a good place to chill and drink and talk. The music isn't too loud and the people who come in are an eclectic mix at most times. Good people and some people watching make these events fun even

Since I'm not drinking this becomes the time when I start to get invited out by people I haven't heard from in a while.For example, out of the blue I get a text message from this woman I haven't heard from in a few months. I'm talking since like the first weekend that Dark Knight came out. Yeah. That long ago.She tells me that her and her new roommate are going out to celebrate her roommate's

Two days ago we elected a new president and in the fine tradition of America and everything that is right with this country that meant one thing- TIME TO DRINK.Unfortunately, I had begun my non-drinking campaign already. Still, I was dedicated to enjoying the camaraderie of my fellow Obamaniacs/Obamanites (what the hell do you call them?). I had signed up for this event last week and it had been

Just realized that I'm starting this non-drinking thing on the year where I'm turning 30 as well as a vast majority of my friends are as well. Add to that that I'm supposed to be someone's Best Man this year and I got another level of debauchery for the bachelor party to plan without me getting plastered.Sigh.This is going to be a long hard year. Don't you agree, Starbuck?Well, you're no help.

Let me give a quick introduction for all of y'all who are new. I have an Irish name, drink Guinness like an Irish man, Coronas like a Mexican, rum like a Caribbean, vodka like a Russian and 40s like a Black Man in the mid-1990s.No. Wait. That's offensive.Let's just say I drink like a bloody Scot at times and leave it at that.Anyway, this is all to say I drink a lot. Mostly on weekends and I have
