Texts from Last Night

I have a tendency to make drunken phone calls or send drunken texts/ims when I shouldn't...this website compliles the best drunken texts...when I first read it, I was in tears I was laughing so hard...

http://www.textsfromlastnight.com/

some examples (the area code is first):
(510): I think I speak chipmunk. Odd.
(702): Are you high?
(510): No. That's why it's odd

(330): so the chest pain/shortness of breath/overdose guy we just took to tm hospital is now running down market street from the police in a gown holding his iv.

(508): hdsncx Gizmo asnqw toilet blanasdi
(214): ok, stay where you are, be there soon

(606): Sorry I thought I was a lizard earlier.

(678): why did i wake up with a kid named Raphael in my bed this morning?
(770): I dont know but you did call last night to tell me you found the last ninja turtle

(503): i met a boy and i'm in lovvvvveeeeeeee and we're going to vegas and getting marrrrrriiiieeeeedddddd!
(360): let's be honest with each other here, that's about the worst idea you've ever had. you need to walk this one off.

(312): i fell asleep last night with fifteen animal crackers in my mouth. rock bottom dude.

(573): Today I realized that I've had whole drunk relationships with people. And sober me has and wants no part in it.

(775): just wrote on a church. and then stalked a boy, by the way, i fucked him. him being your friend, also, love tacos.

(646): Just bummed a recreational vicodin off my friend's 40 year old boyfriend & am hoovering a breakfast sammy from costco. And I don't have a boyfriend because why?

Funny, because I know I've sent/recieved texts like these from Karin and Lauren...

Approaching Normal

Blue October is a fantastic band. Their most famous songs are "Hate Me," "Into the Ocean," and "Calling You." The lead singer, Justin, has been through hell and back. He has battled with bi-polar disorder, depression, suicidal thoughts and drug abuse for most of his life. Most of his songs in someway or another deal with the unrest that's in his head. He really speaks to anyone who has ever suffered from any type of mental condition.

We saw them several years ago when they released the album "Foiled." I didn't know most of the songs, but I quickly became obsessed with the album after the concert. Last monday, Lauren and I saw them again at the 9:30 club and the concert was almost life altering. They were promoting their new album "Approaching Normal." Each song they sang was so fantastic that I came home and downloaded the album that night. This whole album is amazing....just the words of the songs should be able to speak for themselves...and please don't think I've gone down a steep slide here...it's a heavy album that I completely relate to right now...I recommend you download the entire album, it's that freaking fantastic...

In case you really like this album and decide to check out others, the songs I recommend are:

She's My Ride Home
You Make Me Smile
Congratulations
Overweight
Sound of Pulling Heaven Down
Amnesia
Independently Happy
HRSA
Drop
Sexual Powertrip (One Big Lie) Bla Bla
Balance Beam
Ugly Side
Oh hell, just download everything...
