Things I’ve Said While Drunk:
(in order of level of intoxication)

1. “But the larger ice surface in European-style ice hockey really lets you see the plays unfold!”
2. “Oh my God, let’s go for a run at 5:30 tomorrow morning!”
3. “Yes! Let’s move to Mankato!”
4. “You are the best dude in the band, hands down. You fucking ROCKED tonight!”
5. “Doesn’t this jukebox have any more Joy Divison?!”
6. “Give me that karaoke book.”
7. “Who wants an Irish car bomb?”
8. “Pujols’ fielding is underrated; they say anyone can be a first baseman and I disagree. Here’s why…”
9. “Remind me how to send a text message. I think I forgot.”
10. “Excuse me, I’m going to vomit in the bushes.”

I used to be pretty ambivalent about the state of Texas, but as I grew older I began to meet more and more folks from this fair land. Soon, I began to share their enthusiasm for their homeland. This excitement festered inside me like a bad case of h. pylori, until one day I decided to highlight my favorite songs about Texas in my SOTD.

“Galveston” / Glen Campbell (1969)
