When the shi* is Oh, so Smooth… November 4, 2008

I wouldn’t be lush if I didn’t let you in on what was taking me over the top. Right?

Normally, I’m a tequila drinker all the way (1800 if I’m ballin’, but Cuervo will me right, too). I resigned from 151 when I started working full-time, lol.  I was feeling like a lady, you know, didn’t want anyone to see me take it too the head, yet. So, I ordered a Sunrise, which turned out to taste indescribably cheap (bartender must have gone bottom shelf on me).

As I pretended to nurse my overpriced drink, I scanned each shelf trying to figure out what could get me where I wanted to be my budget. I spotted Diddy’s Ciroc vodka. Usually, I stay away from vodka, because I think it tastes like rubbing alcohol. However, he does so much ranting about how smoooth it is, I figured I’d try a lil’ bit (I know, mixing darks and lights is a no-no)…

Anyway, Ciroc is the bomb (yes, I still say that)! Not never have I tasted ANY liquor that went down that smooth. There was no burn (my chest hairs did not need a perm, yall)! After, 6 or 7 shots, I was still going strong, even if my pockets weren’t…

take it from a true lush: ciroc gets 5 out 5 stars!

James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

One woman commented on one of my other blogs, accusing Obama of taking or characteristics of one of his associates. Well, Ms. lady, McCain voted with Bush (the majority of the time), even when his couterparts didn’t…I guess that makes him an accesorry. Guitly by association, too…
