Difference Between Knowing and Wanting

Being and knowing the vast difference
between what I know and think I am

I can quite honestly say this about and
in regards to myself

When it comes to culture and the fineries
of all life has on offer

One day I should most definitely find the
time to take in

An Opera , Play or Museum or Live Show

Followed by fine dinning out and sampling
what other worldly cuisine have t offer 

But then again I can say for sure probably
less than 5 actual minutes in

I would also then get and be bored
and so end up leaving

Swapping it instead for a greasy burger 
down the high street followed by as many 
pints of beer I can stomach

Until I eventually am forced to throw up
to cram in and make space for a few more

Then grab another greasy burger for the
journey home

And fall asleep on the couch in front
of the t.v covered in the majority of the
burger 

That missed my mouth from the
previous night before

Which come in handy and provide a 
tasty snack for breakfast 

And due to the fact I am so concusted
and all consumed with an almighty
hangover

It prevents from realizing the sober
reality

Would staying just 5 minutes longer really
have killed me that much more

And then I thought yes it would because
at least my night out left me with one
at least this as apposed to that one would

And what that is in fact this

I always find when rifling through my
trouser pants from the night before

At very least a $5 or two and a pocket
full of change

I can pop down the corner shop to buy
myself a few cans of beer to help me
get over this god awful hangover
