I love my drinks and will happily indulge in them when offered. But there's one thing about it that I cannot understand....how do you drink alcoholic beverages during the day and not collapse? Or function? Or not fall asleep? Or dance your booty off in the middle of work?
I don't know, man.
There was this bunch of ah-peks (elderly gentlemen) sitting around in a Chinese restaurant yesterday and I was observing them chatting, playing cards and drinking their Tiger Beer. The chatting were a little too loud and they were flicking cigarette ashes into someone's dog's food nearby. Sure....they're having fun but for crissakes, it's three thirty in the afternoon!!
Hhhhmmm.....I think, in a lot of ways, the perspective is different and the demands are different for them.
What else is there to do (for them) apart from loiter around and just minggling with people their age. They probably don't work (DUH!!) and have nowhere else to go, anyway, so, if they get really pissed drunk, they can stagger home (it's a condo) and zzzzzzzzzzzz......
I've tried drinking when the sun was up before. Not fun. It was alright in air-conditioned atmosphere. But when time came to walk back to the office....yes, IN THE SUN.....oh, boy.....my eyeballs exploded and remnants of my retina and eyes smashed into the back of my skull!!
Gross....
....but that's what I feel about drinking during daylight hours. No, thanks. Not even if it's wine. Not even for a million bucks.
I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...
