No, it’s not me. I rarely, if ever, drink alcohol. But I just found out the history of the word and it’s quite funny :))

It seems like the word shitfaced, as we know it (meaning drunk off your ass) appeared back in the day, in Scotland. Before they had any toilets, they used to throw their, um, chamber pot contents in the street. Only they wouldn’t do it anytime during the day, they would do it early in the morning, at a special time, when the church bells rang and everybody would open their windows, chamber pots in hand. They would yell “gaurdy loo!” and splash everything into the street. Only this time coincided with the time the bars closed and drunk people would stumble into the street on their way home. When they heard yell “gaurdy loo”, drunk and disoriented they would look up and… that’s how they’d get shitfaced 😁

Over the last 6 years, since Ireland is an integral part of my life, I learned to love drinking tea. Combined with milk, as it should be. Today, while drinking another tea pot filled to the top, I wondered: do I really like tea or am I just using this as a pretense to drink milk without the social pressure of ordering milk as a drink in a restaurant?

P.S.: if it feels like someone hacked my blog and keeps posting shit, don’t worry, it’s just me. I’m kinda thinking of stuff these days so I find things to keep myself entertained. Among them is using my blog as a Facebook page. This is why I also drew a tea pot and wrote something above it. Looking for my creative side, you know. Stay tuned, who knows what I’ll think about next!

Food for thought :)

I’m surprised how many early-stage entrepreneurs forget that raising money at this moment in their company’s life is all about trust.

You don’t have numbers to show, all you have is a story and potential. So how come most of the entrepreneurs don’t try anything to establish trust in the relationships they want to build?

Just a thought :)
