I think I want to be an alcoholic

Now I realize I will be attacked. That is not something to be a joke. I’m not joking. Many very awesome people take to the bottle. In my view it is better to be alcoholic than addicted to drugs. All you have to do is uncork a bottle.

The issue is if your drinking slips into daytime. Make sure you start in the evening and stay sober during the day. What’s the harm if you follow the rules? Stay away from hard liquor, though. Red wind is — I mean red wine is maybe nutritional or else why is it marketed?

Red wine helps relaxation. We read so much that agitates, so the wine maybe helps to de-agitate or regurgitate or renunciate. I can’t remember the definition of renunciate.

These are crazy times that come around in circles and never seem to spin off and get resolved. I forget what the purpose of this possible rant is.

I drank some fairly nice red wine. If I had to rate it I’d give it a 5. Okay. I admit that it is silly to invest in expensive wines. That is like throwing money away at trees.

The tree outside has roots going haywire. You can feel them under your feet all over the place. Will those roots go underneath the condo and disturb the safety of your investment? One day you own something and the next day the tree flips it and you are homeless. That can actually happen.

That is why I don’t take anything seriously. Life is as absurd as a crazy tree. I told the tree, and I ranted about being a child always feeling safe in a tree. Where is my safety now?

The wine bottle is what many turn to and say f-ing tree. No. I can’t say that. I still love trees. So much has depended on trees, and they stay strong and pretend that they have not been affected. Oh my gosh.

I look around and see how they have been exploited. This seems like a silly post, but so much inside this condo is from exploiting trees. I don’t think I even have to extrapolate. Just look around inside to see papers, book shelves, furniture, drums, stairs, almost everything made from trees….

Is the cork from a wine bottle made from trees?

We are very insensitive creatures turning on each other and turning on all of life. I drank too much wine so forgive my insensitivity. I wish I were young and could climb up a tree like I did when I was 4 years old to be comforted by a tree.

I know this rant seems insensitive to all that is happening all over the world. I think we tend to pull inside ourselves. In my case, I turn to trees. They were my comfort in spite of them being used, abused, neglected, disrespected. I’m sad.

There are books about the secret life of trees, but I can’t remember.

I don’t think the snake in the picture has anything to do with this story. He is just cute. The trees accept him, so I like him, too.
