Suffraging

I dropped by ariel’s internet café right after work yesterday to unwind for a while. I had two beers and went on playing some world war 2 video game where you relive the war as soldiers on either fronts of the war running in a village in france or someplace and shooting the hell out of the other players around. Shooting people did make me feel better after work though, things you wished you could have done while at work.

Right after I was done playing, ariel was outside his internet cafe with some of his officemates and a bottle of scotch, not only that I can’t stand whiskey it was only a bit past nine and I hadn’t had dinner too so I had to refuse like hell when he passed me a shot to take, I had to go home anyway. He himself already had around three beers before that and he was such in a hurry that night because the national elections is coming up on monday, and sale of alcohol is banned across the country come election day and the day before it, three hours before midnight might be closer than he thought so ariel was beating the clock for alcohol.

Sale of alcohol is banned perhaps for reasons that liquor might aggravate and induce violence at the height of the elections, or perhaps voting sober this monday is better than voting drunk yet people in this country had voted worse than being drunk, you could tell from the kind of dumb people being voted into office in this country the past few years. I get this sort of relief though hearing that some brilliant people now have better chances of winning this monday to even off the dumb people already in office.

This afternoon I went back to ariel’s café because I left some stuffs on his fridge the night before, he wasn’t around and he’s probably sleeping after last night's spree. I found a note posted on the door and it said:

We don’t serve LIQOUR for the meantime

The clerk said somebody drinking with ariel must have posted it last night, and maybe this is another reason why people are banned from drinking, else spell the candidates names wrong.
