Where Do We Begin To Get Clean Again?

CONFESSION: I miss drinking. I know it sounds totally sad and pathetic... it's only been just shy of two full weeks since my last drink and it hasn't even really been that hard to keep away from. I've gone out with my friends countless times in the last two weeks and haven't even considered a drink. Nevertheless, I miss drinking. More than just drinking... I miss wine. I also miss being asked if I want another glass and replying, "Wine Not?" haha!

There's something about wine that invokes a certain mood or sentiment. I can be having the worst day... and a nice glass of red wine just warms me up and washes away any negative emotions from the day. I know this makes me sound like a total alcoholic... but I don't care. I, Matthew David Munn, love wine. I love it a lot in fact. A glass, or a bottle, or a few bottles of wine whether it be with friends (or alone) can change your entire night (or day for some of you!)

Sometimes, I'll have a glass before bed, if I'm feeling really saucy... just to spice it up. Occasionally, that glass turns into a bottle and I'm completely sloshed laughing at my closet, but most of the time it's just a glass.

There's something in the complexity of wines that intrigues me, the differences in region/grape and subtle undertones that you just don't get from beer or spirits. Now before you beer lovers and vodka chuggers jump down my throat. I know there are different flavor qualities in beers and spirits, but speaking personally, I have yet to find a beer or spirit that matches the complex flavor profiles of an amazing glass of wine.

Unfortunately for me (and BC vineyards...) I've got at least two more weeks in my dry spell before I uncork a whole new chapter of "wine not" experiences...

I'm ready to go, lead me into the light.

So I just got home from a fabulous trip with my friends Jared, Jordan and Peter. We spent a few nights in Las Vegas and then journeyed (yes, journeyed) over to Los Angeles where Peter performed as part of Ryan Mckillop's launch of his brand new underwear line. The show went down at HERE lounge in Los Angeles and was a total success. Not only were Peter and the boys fabulous but the entire night was so amazing. Not only did we meet James St. James, original club kid from NYC, but a few other star studded faces showed up to support the event. All in all it was a total highlight of the trip. We all created so many memories together and I will be posting pictures of the trip as soon as they are uploaded.

Upon arriving home and the subsequent events of Monday night I realized that no matter how much fun I had on vacation it really is time for a change in my life, I really need to focus on finishing school and getting my life together. Saying this is one thing and acting on it is another but I really do feel like I'm at a crossroad which is a great thing. I'm on the edge of something great, so many options are available to me one I finish school so I really think it's time to decided where I want to take my life, whether I want to continue living in Vancouver or pursuing other ventures elsewhere. Regardless of where I end up, it is this time right here that some of the most important decisions will be made, so right now... I'm looking at my options, and really stepping back to think of what it is that makes me happy and that I am passionate about.
