I watched some videos with Hunter S. Thompson today on youtube.  It is all there.  Hunter was one of the great ones.  One of his interviews with David Letterman wasn't too hot from 1988.  Hunter didn't seem to connect too well on that one with David, or anybody.
     Anyway, so Hunter is on my mind today.
     Someday, I'll have to actually read his books.

     So, I write The Drunken News on facebook, and sometimes I come here.
     There's been a lot of things that have been happening up at the ole' bar, which, due to space limitations and people's tolerance of my writing, I have self-restrained myself.  That isn't good.  In addition, I self-edited, and that is even worse.
     There are politics involved in who I mention.  Mostly I restrain myself because it involves other people, so as one bartender said, "It is a fine line."
     It is true.  It is a very sensitive situation when writing about people.

     So far, The Drunken News blog I've used as an 'overflow' area.    I prefer to do it on facebook, because it is funnier there.  Here, it can get way too serious.
     A woman walked behind the bar to raise the volume on the stereo.  I was shocked to see that happen.  That was not a good move.  I won't mention who it was.  I guess she was having an orgasm about a song, and needed more sound so she could groove to the music.
    
     My napkin art has gone rather well in the last week.  I've sold $422 worth of painted napkins.  I buy drinks every night, so that cuts into my profits, but that is the cost of doing business.  I'm not going in there to make money without supporting the bar, unlike a couple of other artists I know.  Always support the house is the law.  So yeah, I've spent over $100 in the same eight days on booze, food, and things I need to survive.

     It's been a pretty good life to be a full-time napkin artist.  I've developed my alcoholism to all new levels, haha.

     So, The Drunken News started out as a fun joke, but I actually have readers on facebook.  If a person misses a night at the bar, they can at least read 'The Drunken News' to see if they missed anything.

     Sorry about the bad writing.  I'll try and fix it when I am more clear-headed.

     So, in an hour, I'll go up to the bar, and do the whole thing over again.  I'll be lucky to sell $20 worth of art, but I could make a $100.  I never know what will happen on any given night.  It's kind of an adventure.

     Thank god Obama won.  I shudder to think what would happen if Romney was in office.  People in Utah would be so proud of themselves, that would be for sure.

     Okay, thanks for reading.  I'll try and improve this blog at some point in the future.

 Author's Notes:

1.     Yeah, if you are a customer, never, ever go behind the bar, for any reason.
