alcohol and writing

just came home from twi's despedida thing.

since i have nothing else to write about... and since i'm also a bit tipsy... let me just talk about the correlation between alcohol and writing. i've read somewhere that there's a special bond between writers and alcohol. for edgar allan poe, ernest hemingway, and many accomplished writers, their greatest works couldn't have been possible without alcohol abuse. interesting huh? i do personally believe that there's a special link between creativity and alcohol. that's why most probably, writers drink alot more than other people. in my case, (since i'm definitely not a writer, i'm more of a programmer) my greatest designs/solutions were created in table napkins at bars somewhere in upstate new york and kamagong. no kidding. sometimes (take note, i said sometimes and not always), we are just our better selves when intoxicated. (oh by the way, creativity is sometimes a response to emotional pain. but let's discuss it some other time).

so, i leave it up to you if you can make sense of whatever i said. time to sleep.

wait... before i go... a quick trivia. ernest hemingway's heavy drinking brought him hypertension, kidney and liver diseases, insomnia and sexual impotence, among others. At age 62, he shot himself to death. wow.
