It would be difficult to describe when it began. How it began however probably stems from spending my adolescent years with pool players. Many of the earlier stories have been forgotten as a result of the stories to follow, however here are a few short snippets of the early years.
The first notable event would have to be when I was 14 at my cousins 20th birthday. People kept sneaking me girly vodka drinks until they realised they weren't the only one doing so and I was dancing on the bar to "Rock DJ". There was a great deal of pelvic thrusting which was probably quite a sight considering my age. However this isn't the point of this story; the following morning we were flying to Queensland for a family holiday. An extremely hungover/drunk 14 year old boy who suffers motion sickness probably shouldn't fly. When everybody on the plane was standing awaiting to pile out, it came. Everywhere. Spraying through the gaps in my fingers, it sprayed at least 8 passengers before I controlled it onto a seat, which overflowed.
Some flights that day were delayed.
In the following years, pool players got me drunk several times and hilarity often ensued, however I'll save those stories for another time. Except let it be noted that drunk pool players are willing to lose quite a bit of poker to a teenager.
The first year of uni was a haze of alcohol, most accounts were of the following form.
Saturday 0700 - Morning
Saturday 0900 - First Beer (outside 'the pool room' in ferntree gully)
Saturday 1000 - Much pool and beer at state titles
Saturday 1800 - KFC and La Porchetta
Saturday 1900 - Got to JD's, couldn't play much pool. Mostly beer
Saturday 2100 - Went to a club. Had 5 pints according to the drink card in my pocket
Sunday ???? - Another club.
Sunday ???? - ????????????
Sunday ???? - Stumbled around looking for a party.
Sunday 0300 - Back to the second club.
Sunday 0500 - Club closed, went for walk.
Sunday 0600 - Maccas breakfast
Sunday 0800 - Bed
Most of these episodes have been combined together in my memory as a sequence of short clips. I will endeavour to include them all here.
