I. Am. Not. A. Drunk.
Funny story…except not depending on your mood.
A few days ago, I saw an ad for a bartender school. Another one of my hidden interests happens to be mixing drinks. I’ve never done it before, but I wouldn’t mind learning about it. At the risk of becoming a drunk who lives off of Long Island Iced Teas and Adios Motherfuckers, that is. But anyway, I sent out some info, and they got back to me yesterday. They asked to come in today, but I couldn’t because I had appointments. I told my mom about it, and she shot the idea down, for the sake of my sanity. But I’m going to at least check it out. I mean, other than my freakish anxiety issues and depression, I’m approachable enough to become a professional bartender.
They call me again today, and I told them that I had a change of heart (mostly because of the aformentioned reasons). She said something about career and interest and some shit like that. I was asleep so I don’t remember much. But yeah, she said something like that, and I said that my interest was always in theatre. Of course, a lot of actors take on jobs as bartenders. She said to at least check it out. So that’s what I’m going to do.
I wish that the economy didn’t suck so bad so that I don’t come dangerously close to selling my soul. No, I’m not talking about bartending either. And I’m not talking about being a hooker either (sick people!). If you’ve read my Livejournal, then you have some idea.
Damn, this has me craving Long Island Iced Teas now.

You know something? I was actually talking to a friend yesterday about Bartending, how I’d love to that.
I just installed a app on my iPod touch, called the “Drunkionary”, which has recipes for different mixxed drinks, shots, tutorials on how to play drinking games etc. It’s pretty entertaining.

All of the bartenders I know say that bartending school is a waste of time/money.
I’ve thought about it myself and everyone I know says it’s just better to get hired on as a waitress or barback and work your way up within in a business. Check out some websites and learn the most popular drinks (and practice measuring stuff at home) and you’ll do fine without any professional schooling.

I was a bartender back in 2005, and I can honestly say that it’s not as good as it’s cracked up to be. More often than not, you get drunken disturbances, fights, etc…

I wanted to go to bartending school too! But I’ve been told it’s best to learn from others or work in an environment that allows you to see how it’s done.

I’ve thought of applying for bartending jobs/becoming one.. but I don’t think I wanna swap roles in being on the other side of the bar..
Coz you gotta work like somewhat long shifts and such.. =\
Be kind of cool though =]
