Getting back to the basics

Tonight I want to RAVE!! Well, it has come time again for our yearly party trip. Each year we take a camping trip with a huge group of people, and get very drunk and go down the river in canoes and water pistols. For everyone it is a good time. I am personally looking forward to seeing old friends and making some new acquantances. Everyone needs a trip like this, at least once a year in order to unwind, let loose a little and forget the rest of the world. In every group you will find your stereotypes. There is one person who is just loud and obnoxious, but good hearted and wants everyone to join in his merriment. You have the grouch, who under normal circumstances fits the profile, but she/he comes to the party and they seem a little more relaxed and lighthearted. you have your straight laced doctor and lawyer types who show up, and this is the one time of the year that they allow themselves to be influenced juat a bit, and they do whatever drug is floating around. Mind you that this is not a drug party. It is kept under wraps and there are no pressures to participate. I myself have never ever even so much as taken a single puff. It isn't that I am against it, I am just not interested, I am happy to stick with Alcohol. You have the card players, the sleepers, the slackers, the hardbodies, the gamblers, and just about every walk of life you can think of. This is the one time of the year, where you get together and the world is left behind, and you are just people. For this coming weekend, I plan to get very drunk and associate with everyone again. Everone remembers a time when they were younger and participated in high school parties, the college bashes, the graduation parties, the keggers and frat parties. Once you have grown, this a small reminder that life isn't always as bad as it can be, and friends, no matter how long it has been since you have seen them, 10, 15, 25, or even 40 years, they are still your friend. Hopefully you are fortunate enough to be included once a year in an event such as this and can enjoy it as much as I.
