Drunk On the Spirit (Part 1)

Drunk On the Spirit (Part 1)
HOWL Magazine

As promised, here is the completed Drunk on the Spirit. Sorry this took so long, but maybe this will make it worth it.

Fill yourself up with the Spirit, be free of the spirits

I don’t care if its fine, please put down the bottle of wine

If you truly have someone dear, take your face out of that beer

You look really pale, or is that just your 5th ale?

You come up to me and you say “I’m dandy”, I really know that’s just the brandy

I see everyone everywhere drowning in sin, that’s not their fault, that’s probably the gin

If you’re full of yourself and think yourself a thumb breaker, you’ve probably had too many shots of Jaeger.


This goes out to everyone, who’s making themselves sick

Whether you’ve had only one drink, or you’re a complete alcoholic

I understand the alcohol changes you, makes you sail

Let’s see if you’re still saying that when you’re rotting in jail

It makes you do the unexpected, lets you live life more easily

Well buddy, I have two words for you: public indecency.


You say I don’t know what I’m talking about, you think I just can’t

Let me offer some numbers to back up my rant.


First number to remember: 199.

That’s how many billions of dollars are spent on each year

I swear I’m not joking, this isn’t being played by ear

That’s not enough? You want more to hear?

Listen to this next line, see if you’re still not reeling with fear


Next number: 50.

That’s the percentage of driving fatalities that are involving alcohol.

That number gets you thinking, makes you feeling

The gears in your head should be turning, you should be positively reeling.


One last number to prove my point today,

This is the last thing I’m going to say


The last number: 6

That's how many people are killed by alcohol every day

You hear that saying "there's absolutely no way!"

Addiction is an ongoing battle, it's an endless fray

Unfortunately at the moment, it's a problem that's here to stay.


This poem isn't meant to solely be an IQ flaunt

Let me tell you about the type of drunkenness you do want.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
