Returning to the Fold or I Just Didn't Feel Much Like Posting

I haven't really felt much like posting anything over the past couple of days, mostly due to the fact that I haven't really done a whole heck of a lot. I've been tracking down really old cartoons recently, early Fleischer brothers stuff, Tex Avery stuff, WW2 propaganda stuff, etc. Man, it's too bad that cartoons like that don't really get any recognition anymore, because they ruled. Maybe people just got burned out from seeing them all the time back in the twenties and thirties... Looking back from a perspective today doesn't really do much as it tempers your opinion. Either way, if you get the chance, you should totally look at some of the classic toons.
It was my dim-witted buddy Ryan's birthday bash last night and we all went bowling after playing a few drinking games at his place. Let me just say that he is the worst player EVER in a drinking game. You name the rule and he will unwittingly break it, causing himself to drink more in one go round then the rest of the people playing combined. For example, the active rules when we played were: no pointing at someone, no saying their name, no saying "shoot" and keep a thumb on the table when you drink. Ryan would manage to break all of those rules in one go and be forced to take like 4 drinks on EVERY turn. Needless to say, he was pretty wasted. During the bowling itself, he was throwing balls down the aisle (and getting yelled at by the pin jockeys), spinning around like a moron, near-stripping, and making out with his girlfriend in ways I did not want to envision let alone see. While on the subject of his girlfriend, Tina, I will say that she was even MORE drunk then Ryan and showed us a new side of her personality that we were not privy to before. She is normally very quiet and shy, but she was loud and obnoxious, telling us all about Ryan's inadequacies in the bedroom, the stupid things he says to her, and the stuff that he does that pisses her off. It was really funny!
The evening saw the slight return of Matt to the fold. He is someone who we used to see all the time, but ever since he got a new girlfriend, I've seen him less and less. In fact, I don't think I've hung out with him once in the past 4 months. I'm not angry or anything, I mean more power to him if he can find a girl who can stand him (he's very obnoxious and show-offy) but I would like to see the guy a little more than once in four months. I mean when I was going out with my last girlfriend I always made sure that I still made time for my friends... although that might have been a detriment to my romantic relationship. I looked at it more like me not selling out. I will stay with my principles. If someone is looking to get to know me cool, but she has to accept that I am not going to ditch my friends for her. The two worlds can co-exist if you try. Too many guys forget their friends when they meet a girl. They spend all their time with the lady and none with their buddies. Priorities people! I mean sex is great and all, but it's not the ONLY thing in life. I detect a little rambling here again...
I've got very little drive to do anything today... which is bad because I have a paper due march 4th that I should be starting and a script/storyboard that I should get working on... oh well... there's always tomorrow...
