My Twenty Little Friends.....My Cigarettes

posted April 9, 2008 - 11:31pm
My Twenty Little Friends.....My Cigarettes

How do I love thee, let me count the ways....all 20 of them, my 20 little friends in each pack.

As I take one out, I light it up and I feel that instant rush. The feeling of that first cigarette....how can I explain it. The feel of that smoke going into my lungs. Such a great feeling. I just lie back and relax. Maybe enjoy a cup of coffee with it, or maybe a glass of wine. The world is mine for 5 minutes. No one bothers me when I smoke, they know it's my time......my time for peace.

Why do I love my twenty little friends so much? The same friends that might make me suffer? Give me an early death or just maybe some miserable health problems? Because I love them! That's all. We all love something or someone we know might give us grief, either now or somewhere down the road.....or do we know this? Maybe this is the something or someone who will not give me grief. Someone always escapes statistics. And truth be known.....life is for living and for now this is how I choose to live. Maybe someday I'll be sorry but hindsight is 20/20. Go ahead! Enjoy that chocolate cake, that 6-pack! Take another hit, it's your life to live. Live it for you......we all will be gone someday, make sure your choices are your own, that regret would be the biggest of all.

Joy for the Small-Minded, Living for the Obsessed-Upon Moment

mythman - Fri, 2008-20-6 9:31 am
The enlightened mind knows that the fullness of each moment is more than just that moment. That's why there's that possibility of later regret. Every action forges a link in the chain of cause-and-effect. Every choice you make ("to smoke," in this case) may have been made because of an seemingly-insurmountable number of causes, and will contribute to a truly insurmountable number of causes (lung problems for yourself and others, "That Smell, the smell that's around you") in the future. I have chosen to smoke before ... I was a child then. Now I live for the lives of all. With More Devotion to than Words Dare Express, Uncle MythMan

Should I take a bow? haha Too bad I didn't make one cent off this article. Maybe I should submit it to a smoker's rights group. They can make it their creed!

On Equipment

kjhack - Tue, 2008-6-5 6:06 pm
"They don't want their equipment friggin` itself up!" -- mythman True. But there are so many other dangers to the equipment than smoking. What about high fat diets, lack of exercise, and high risk activities? Heck, you can really frig-up the equipment if your rope snaps during an afternoon of rock climbing. kjhack's Xombytes kjhack's Xomblurbs Join Zomba

 
 

You got that right Sharon

I go outside and smoke as fast as I can while the non-smokers go to the cafeteria and hang out for much longer. On another note, I really am surprised at the outrage of some people on here about smoking. Makes me think most of them could use a smoke or two just to calm down. Get a life people....you don't have to deal with the smoke in bars or restaurants anymore and if, God forbid, you have to walk by some smokers, did you ever think of holding your breath for a second or two? Get over it...so much more in life and so much more to worry about than THIS!

Oh please!!!! Spare me...

That's a loud of malarky. Personal work ethics has nothing, as in NOTHING, to do with smoking. Even the feds allow two 15 minute breaks and 1/2 hour lunch. This is when folks have the smokes. If that offends people, well maybe they ought to stop hiring people who partake of fancy coffee once a day. Getting a cup of java takes longer than having a smoke. Personal experience - the NON-smokers took MUCH longer breaks than the smokers. JMHO... http://www.bigblueheron.blogspot.com/
