Why do I drink beer again?

I guess I have to wonder what it is about me that feels compelled to post this piece of video that I shot at a Miss Hooters contest. Actually the deeper question is, what compelled me to shoot video at a Miss Hooters contest at all? The reasons I had in mind was BS, I know that now for sure.

I told myself these reasons. 1) I am doing it for the web site of the radio station I work for. It's a male oriented station and they would love this stuff. It'd really be an attraction to get people to the web site. Sounds reasonable to me. But it's BS. I also told myself, well I'm a "new" videographer and I would get a lot from the experience of shooting a thing like this, in this kind of setting... blah, blah, blah. All just a bunch of BS. But it sounds SOOOOO reasonable. Doesn't it? Come on! Truth is... I'm a guy in my 50's and the day has come and gone that I will ever attract women that look like these girls into my life ever again. Well, unless I were to become extremely rich and didn't care that I knew that they were only there for the money they hope to get out of me. (I've heard there are girls who would do that kind of thing in this world! The days I have to get peeks at bodies and gorgeous faces like these are numbered. And, believe me, I enjoy a beautiful female as much as the 20 and 30 year olds do. So obviously, I will do just about about anything to keep seeing them. And hey, if they're willing to line up like that to let me look, who am I to refuse? So, you see? Those reasons I had... just a smoke screen. Complete BS. Makes me wonder though if there are other things I am BS-ing myself about.

Now I have to think about this. Do I really drink beer because I like the buzz from it? Or is that BS too? What about you? You might have things you're BS-ing yourself about. Think about it. It's V-E-R-Y important that we always be honest with ourselves. We can tell ourselves whatever we want to hear. But inside, at some level, there is a place in us that knows the truth.

Hum... do I really want more money so I can build schools and feed hungry children? Or could it be that I want more money so I can deepen my research on the question about why I drink beer?
