Yesterday Jon of USC and I had lunch at Frescas and it came to his attention that I never drank beer before. Oh sure there’s the occassional sip when I was a kid but never in my life have I really drank beer. BTW, the murder charges were dropped for Jon of USC because Limp Richard was just a toy. Who can seriously trust the law enforcement these days? So it became Jon of USC’s goal for me to drink beer before he left our company for good. Oh and today was his last day at work. Now I don’t have anyone to boss around.

Enter today, the 3rd of August, around noon. The sun was shining bright and there was the fresh scent of fertiliser in the air. Jesse, and I took a ride in Jon’s car and headed to Red Robin for lunch and to have a beer.

Where else can you publicly show your affection to someone through a gift card?

Ahhh romance at its finest…

I took Jon of USC’s suggestion to start with the Hefeweizen. He said it was light and it’d be easy on the noob… me.

You know what? It didn’t turn out to be bad at all! I was surprised! I actually came in the restaurant thinking I’d puke the moment I took a sip of the beer. But no! I didn’t even wash the beer down with water and it made my food even more enjoyable. In fact the beer was pretty good that I finished the whole thing.

I was victorious!

It was around this time when we finished eating. Unfortunately, my tolerance for alcohol isn’t that great and it didn’t take long before the alcohol started to kick in. I was buzzed. buzzzzedd! LoL That’s really not bad since I don’t have to spend a ton of money if I want to get wasted.

Jon paid for lunch which was cool of him. However, looking through the photos just confirmed what I though about Jon of USC… he is none other than the Evil Jon of USC! This is the picture that confirmed by beliefs

Do you not see those red eyes?! It’s a sign of the devil I tell you! The horror! It’s as if he’s putting a curse to whoever is looking at the photo. Oh yeah, that’s me wasted in the background.

Let’s not forget about Jesse, who also had a Hefeweizen. Unlike me, he can drink like a bear and still stay sober. Here he is looking very inspired… just beautiful!

But folks.. this isn’t the end of the story! Just because the bill was paid for doesn’t mean the story is over, because I had the sudden urge to drink another beer! Did I forget to tell you that we had to get back to work after this? Cause we did and work was on my mind, but I was having fun. LoL. So instead of leaving the table we flagged down our server and had another round of drinks. Jon had the diet coke, since he had to drive, Jesse had the Sierra Nevada beer, which I liked, and I had the black & tan.

It was obviously a lot stronger in flavour but was still good to drink; however, the after taste was horrendous. I think I can even taste some of it now. Anyway, I finished it because beer is not to be wasted.

Now here I am, sort of proud and fucked up, after just two beers.

But hey I still made it to work and was able to perform my job… sort of.
