The
Delusional Martini
As
always insight comes to me in the latest hour of the evening.
On this evening I was left wondering yet again why I am
here. Now this is a question that almost everyone asks
but few actually want the answer to. We all say we want
the answer but in true honesty we are too scared to listen
when we are given it. The biggest question for me is why
do people enter our lives? Is it because they are meant
to enrich our lives? Or are they meant to bring us trauma
so that we will learn a lesson? Well this martini is all
about lessons, the ones we would like to avoid but we
have to learn. This is a martini that makes you sit back
the next day, hang your head and go why did I do that
AGAIN!
Sometimes the greatest
lessons are the ones that take years, decades and sometimes
lifetimes to learn. They are usually the lessons that
we avoid and delude ourselves into believing are not actually
happening. That is why I was so happy to find a martini
that goes right along with the lessons that I keep avoiding
because why do I really want to learn them when Delusion
is so much easier.
The Delusional Martini
is a heavy mother F&%#er that you only breakout when
all others fail, it is the martini that takes you to the
next level of delusion, and yes that is sometimes exactly
what the psyche needs. This martini is a killer combination
of Tequila, Metaxa Ouzo, Mezcal and Melon Liquor. To this
mixture you add a splash of cranberry and lime juice.
Are you scared yet? Well this is not a martini for a person
who is a rookie. This is martini for only the true pro
martini drinkers, and for those people that truly just
want to check out of their lives for an evening. I just
want to make a note that there is nothing wrong with checking
out of your life for an evening.
As you go through
life, opportunities are presented to you, some of these
opportunities are life lessons that you must learn. It
is your choice whether you learn them now or later but
somewhere in your life you must learn them. This is how
my girlfriend explained it to me as I ordered my first
Delusional Martini; she looked at me with a raised eyebrow
as she watched the bartender mix this concoction
"You
really are on a mission tonight, aren’t you?”
“You betcha I replied!”
The
reason for this plunge into denial was because of another
let down from a guy. It is amazing how you can be cruising
along in life and feeling great and all of a sudden a
person unexpectantly just drops in. They spend sometime
with you, you share interests, many many laughs and intimacy
and then all of a sudden they are gone. Vanished into
thin air, in this case with the help of a plane. As I
took a sip of this martini every hair on the back of my
neck stood up, then a slow warm burning sensation flowed
down my body. As I savored the faint hint of licorice
from the ouzo I knew this martini was exactly what I needed
to rid myself of the frustration that I once again felt.
