“Never trust a man without vices.” -Winston Churchill
Churchill had his cigars,
Bogart, Sinatra and the rest of the Rat Pack had their booze.
and Charlie Sheen has his winning, and all that goes along with it.
Every person on this planet has their vice. Something that really puts them in that place where nothing can go wrong. Something that can turn their day around just by the sight of it. It may be a beer, cigarette or a brownie but everyone has their go-to guilty pleasure. For example, I like to have a beer at what many consider the wrong time (read: right time) of the day on a random day to just relax and enjoy life.
Where I’m going with this, is that I find it hard for some people to be perfect. There are individuals who claim to be completely focused on their goals and don’t slow down for vices. In fact, they probably have looked down on you for your vice and considered you weak for it. Know who I’m talking about now? The little princess with her nose to the sky. Some people don’t know what they’re missing. Bring on the vices, if you don’t have one you should find one. There’s nothing better than sitting down on a Friday afternoon and just enjoying the vices you have with others. The more people, the better. Afterall, variety is the spice of life.
So I just want to give a toast to those of us who are proud of our vices. It doesn’t make us bad people, its makes us decisive people who know what we like. If a man shares his vice with me, I know he is comfortable with himself and can probably be trusted. It’s like he’s saying, “Hey, I have this weakness for this thing, but I’m cool with you knowing.” Have to respect someone when they open up with a “weakness.”
