Left the family's house a night early for this.

Now to continue Narcos: Mexico.

Hope that everyone had a great holiday!

peasants pretending at class..

hahahaha. jk



Most of these highly concentrated liquors work well with a little dilution..

It's the difference between sugar water, and a sugar cube.. 

Can be taken either way, but on the rocks is less boring, in that it is a dynamic system with variations in temperature and concentration.

At the deepest lvl , the user is just trying to get high(buzz). From then, all this pondering can also be construed as a superficial cover for our poor choice in voluntary mental hijacking.



Finally we justify the totality of our malady by disparaging the environment (that we created/curate),  the world is ****, and so I need to get high.. Fkk it..



Humans, myopic and probably doomed..

Scotch only for me.

Irish whiskey is foo filtered; it tastes like vodka.
American whiskey is horrible, it's too sweet and tastes of dust. It's literally made of the stuff they use to dilute cheaper whiskies in other countries.
Japanese whiskey can be decent, but I haven't found one that's captured that genuine deep smokiness and peat of a good Islay.
Islays are the big stand-outs in my opinion. Nothing even comes close for me.
