The Daily Priapism

I am not a "club head" like I have been acting as of late, but I do enjoy myself when I am out. When I am working hard during the week, I tend to think that I deserve to relax hard on the weekends. I have a few observations from what I have seen while out. The concept is "thirst", for some out there thirst is more than the urge or need for liquid; for some thirst is another term for lust.

Most people have experienced the overwhelming feeling of attraction to another person, hell, I have been a victim; but when thirst and alcohol mix, the result is a super dehydrated, horny subject, doing whatever it takes to be closer to the "fountain". I guess you can use your tools of reason and context to define the term.

From my past experiences in clubs, I have always been able to spot a thirsty individual. While DJing I see the thirst fall upon men and women alike, at times when the stars (and booze) align this turns into a meeting of thirsty bodies (funny we usually talk about meeting of the minds, this shit has nothing to do with thought or common sense!).

Thirsty people seem to get other thirsty people, but that doesn't stop them from trying everyone, think about your last visit to the club...

Remember that guy who kept pulling at your arm while you were leaving, or that guy who decided he was "dancing with the stars" all up on your backside? That wasn't a man, that was thirst! The same remains for women, yes every now and then the cards turn and its the guy that is trying to avoid the drunk kiss in the club or the girl who refuses to take no for an answer. In some cases the woman decides that dancing with her is equivalent to signing a commitment for after-club extracurricular activities, and although it sounds silly to say it, that shit isn't always attractive.

The thirst is sometimes present days before the evening out at the club, the thirst can start as an urge or an itch, it can reach you in the gym, at the grocery store, or even in your sleep; when the thirst is present all bets are off. Working as a DJ has allowed me to see the early signs of the thirst. I have been in clubs and seen the thirsty people walking with the rest of the masses, trying to go undetected; if you look close enough, you can see the thirst in their eyes. Before the first sip of alcohol the thirst creates a mood that the subject has to battle with, after that first taste of your favorite thirst catalyst, the mood turns into a full blown fever.

Thirst seems to make you forget how to hear words when they come out of the mouth of friends and strangers. Before the thirst you were afraid to dance, afraid to approach someone of the opposite sex, after the thirst you are in a Jay-Z video, dancing with a limp like you were Ron O'Neal. A "No" becomes a "Maybe" and no one of the opposite sex is unapproachable. By the end of the night the thirst will have you pulling arms and touching your toes on the dance floor, doing whatever it takes to "quench" your thirst.

Once our subject awakes from the thirst, usually with a hangover, sometimes with a bed partner, the real trouble comes...justification and lying. It is programmed in our DNA to find reason in all that "is" but we sometimes forget that THIRST IS REAL. We lie to make the thirst seem like a mythical creature that lives in the woods, that shit doesn't work. Our friends are subjected to your foolish thirst week after week until you admit to your problem. Casual nights out turn into wild goose chases because a friend is thirsty again looking to quench, like a zombie looking for brains.

What do we do ?
Intervene, say no to your thirsty friends. Catch it when it first strikes, while you're doing your make up in the mirror, or ironing your new button down; these are the moments when the thirst can still be controlled. If you wait until the thirst and the catalyst have been combined, there may be no way to save your evening, you may actually have to put your friend out of misery like Travis killing Old Yeller.

Now you know and knowing is half the battle
