			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.brandondalton.com/wp-content/uploads/Hangover-Cure-Hangover-Drink-Best-Hangover-Cure-Home-1-1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-211 alignleft" title="Hangover Cure - Hangover Drink - Best Hangover Cure - Home-1-1" src="http://www.brandondalton.com/wp-content/uploads/Hangover-Cure-Hangover-Drink-Best-Hangover-Cure-Home-1-1-300x66.jpg" alt="The Hangover Cure" width="300" height="66" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When I first heard you could drink THC, I thought they had found a way to filter bong water, which I didn&#8217;t find appealing at all. Then I learned that it actually stands for <a title="The Hangover Cure" href="http://www.drinkthc.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.drinkthc.com/?referer=');">The Hangover Cure</a>. They promise to prevent a hangover after a night of <em>heavy </em>drinking. All you have to do is drink their magic powder mixed into a glass of water (tap water, spring water, filtered water &#8211; any water you want. &#8216;Cept bong water; that&#8217;s just nasty).</p>
<p>So, I decided that I&#8217;d try <a title="The Hangover Cure" href="http://www.drinkthc.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.drinkthc.com/?referer=');">The Hangover Cure</a> after seeing it all over Twitter. I contacted them and they issued me a challenge: try it, see if it works. Then post on my blog the results, good or bad. I warned them that both of you, my dear readers, take my opinion very seriously. THC stood fast. The gauntlet dropped; I had no choice.</p>
<p>With every intention of thwarting THC&#8217;s claims, I geared up for a night of black &amp; tans. &#8220;Farewell brave soldiers! Know that you shall not go down in vain.&#8221; But, alas! I only had 2 Guinness (for a total of 4 black &amp; tans &#8211; not NEARLY enough to test their claims). I had to break out the big guns. &#8220;Ketel One martinis? Don&#8217;t mind if I do. Repeatedly.&#8221;</p>
<p>The rest of the evening is a little blurry. I do remember taking The Hangover Cure; I started to eat the powder like a pixie stick, but decided that if I choked to death, they would win. Dead men don&#8217;t hang over. So I mixed it into a glass of water (filtered from my fridge, if you must know) and drank it. I&#8217;m not going to promise you a flavor explosion, but neither do they. And it&#8217;s not by any means gross. Kinda like peppy Kool Aid.</p>
<p>Fade to black.</p>
<p>You know those days when you wake up naked and the dog won&#8217;t come near you, the neighbors give you dirty looks, parts of your body are partially shaved, and you have bruises all over that you can&#8217;t explain? Well, The Hangover Cure can&#8217;t do a darn thing about that. What it can do, however, is allow you to feel well enough to find the keys to the handcuffs, wash the honey off your junk, sniff out some quasi-clean underwear, and make the coffee (not necessarily in that order). And if it can do that when you&#8217;ve been just-plain-stupid drinking in order to prove a point, imagine how you&#8217;ll feel after a normal night out at the bar.</p>
<p>Well, played, <a title="The Hangover Cure" href="http://www.drinkthc.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.drinkthc.com/?referer=');">The Hangover Cure</a>. Well played.</p>

<p>Here I squat in my litter box<br />
My dirty, smelly shitter box<br />
This potty-for-a-critter box<br />
I hope that’s sand between my toes.</p>
<p>When along you come creeping<br />
All perverted and tom-peeping<br />
With camera clicking, flashing, and beeping<br />
What you’re up to heaven knows.</p>
<p>Then I find myself on facebook<br />
That leave me in disgrace-book<br />
<span>The get-in-on-the-latest-meme-</span>race book<br />
And then you tagged all your friends.</p>
<p>Then you composed some poetry<br />
Unconcerned about my woe-etry<br />
Just so you could show-etry<br />
That you’re up on inner-web trends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To the rest of the world it seemed, it seems<br />
That Brandon was wasting his life chasing dreams.<br />
And when he finally caught a dream one day,<br />
It turned into a butterfly and flittered away,<br />
Because a dream stays a dream only as long as it&#8217;s chased.<br />
And the rest of the world sighed, &#8220;Oh, what a waste!&#8221;<br />
But over the sound of the world&#8217;s sad sighs,<br />
You can hear Brandon grinning, &#8220;That&#8217;s okay. I like butterflies!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was at the end of my rope<br />
Too tired to climb, too scared to let go.<br />
I&#8217;d pretty much given up hope<br />
When a tremendous wind began to blow<br />
Making me swing higher and higher  -<br />
Until finally I bumped into you<br />
Also hanging around and swinging,<br />
Not really sure what to do.<br />
So we decided to swing together<br />
And that brings our poem to an end.<br />
But if you find yourself at the end of your rope -<br />
Hang in there; don&#8217;t give up hope<br />
Keep smiling and pray for some wind.</p>
