Decisions, Decisions

School. Having suffered through thirteen years of pretending to tolerate these idiots/beasts we call "teachers" and four years of satisfying "professors" via the American formal higher-education system, I've decided that I want a mixology certification. It's more of a hobby than a career move, but even so, I like quality.

I think online bartending sites are a joke. They're cheap (aka "affordable") but I derserve better. I don't value the quantity of my interests, but the passion towards them, and I'm a sucker for quality when I pursue most anything from a portable compact-disk player to forms of education.

What will I do with it? Honestly, I don't know. If this economy of our falls into a depression, people will still drink, if not more. This is selfish, but it's a job to fall back on if I don't finish my other occupational traning.

I myself am not a drinker: Mix it, don't Drink it. Admittedly, I enjoy a glass of champagne at weddings and such. I'm an artistist person and consider mixology to be a craft. Numerous times I have been told I'm good with my hands, so why not attack bartending, too? I like exploring my talents/abilities/gifts as well as things I suck at - like figure skating, for example. I like to skate, I just suck at figure skating.

Worst-case senario, I'll have more knowledge about liquor/beer/wine that I can use to my benefit if I should host a party in the future. These certifications are lifetime, so if much later I wanted to get up off my lazy ass and try bartending again, it's an option. Women love options. :)
