New Blog?

I've been thinking of a new type of blog lately. A blog based, of course, on a facet of my life that I find interesting...something, of course, that I feel others might find interesting.  What I'm referring to is an aspect of a person's life where they expound unique wisdom, or at the very least, true feelings because they are inebreated ("Drunk" for the layman.)

I've come up with a couple of ideas for a title, "Drunken Words," "Drunken Poetry," "Drunken Wisdom," among them, but still haven't pinned down my catch phrase. The cool thing about it would be the plethora of very interesting posts from those who were drunk at the time of writing. It sort of goes along with the (Budweiser, wasn't it?) commercials of late where party goers spoke the cold, hard truth to those they were with. Things come out when your drunk, things you would never say elsewise. This, above all else, is why I think this would be such a great idea.

It doesn't have to be all good, of course.  The simple idiocy of some drunkard's attempts at writing, rife with spelling errors and mumbled grammer, would be entertaining as it is, but the rare gem found in someone's gut-wrenching expose where nothing is sacred would be exquisite.  There is also much room for comedic, sarcastic, inspirational, or morose posts to enrich (or entertain) our lives. It is when life is distilled down to that basic truth that it becomes most interesting, I think. As a society, we seem compelled to present our "best" face to the world and , in my opinion, that is so obviously a facade.

Is it such a chore to believe me when I say that when I see grief, oppression, poverty, and despair, I see truth? To me, it is when our life is deconstructed down to the most basic principles that we exert our most sacred beliefs. There is no more room for posing, or fronting (as say may call it,) it is a matter of raw truth and survival at that point. Hence, the allure of my "Drunken Poetry" site.

So, I'm curious what eveyone else thinks...I happen to be pretty drunk at the moment, which makes me wonder if I've spoken any truths that would otherwise not have seen the light of day. Would my readers discard this blog as idle rhetoric, or is their some raw truth to it?...curious.
