Argh!!!!!!!!! I am currently giving up smoking and it is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, and that includes nude modelling in winter. Why would God create something so fantastic but attach it to something like cancer? What sort of a sicko is he? Everything fantastic he creates he decides to underlay with something disagreeable.
Smoking-Cancer and Bad Teeth.
Drinking-Alcoholism and Bad Dancing.
Sex-Herpes and Children.
Although I am convinced that children are just another form of herpes. Think about it. Both are unsightly, painful growths that you will never be rid of despite how many meds you take, both are usually the result of some liasion you would much rather forget, and the second someone finds out that you have either of these things, you never have sex again.
God is a sick, sick bastard. I’m convinced.
*Apologies to any religious people who think he is tops. Seriously, it’s just because I am nicotene-less and hyped up on sugar. Normally he’s an A-OK dude whom I would be happy to play Canasta with.

I know how you feel…I haven’t had a cigarette for three weeks now and I still miss it terribly…dig your style by the way and look forward to reading more of your stuff.

I’ve tried quitting several times before, but can never seem to make it past the six month mark. Somehow, something always trips me up, whether it be some sort of creative block, a shitty day, or … well, name something. At this point, I’ve just decided to say ‘fuck it’.
As far as the pleasure/consequences thing goes, welcome to Planet Earth. Everything’s a double edged blade, like a yin-yang, or Newton’s theory of gravity. EVERY-THING. It just comes with the territory. Even matter’s got its anti-matter.

It is hell. I’ve replaced smoking with chocolate sprinkles, which I am convinced are doing me long term damage.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s better to die earlier and be a nice person, rather than live to be a hundred and yelling at people on public transport.

In my case, I’d choose the former … although the latter sounds like fun, too. Then again, why would I have to be old to do that? I can (and occasionally do) yell at random strangers now.

I agree however I think lots of these things come full circle.
Smoking-Cancer and Bad Teeth : Bad Teeth -> Easy to clean denchers, Cancer -> free trip to Disneyland!
Drinking-Alcoholism and Bad Dancing : Alcoholism -> Comical lows/ Fun Christmases w/ Uncle Tony, Bad Dancing -> Propagation of the species.
Sex-Herpes and Children : Herpes -> unexpected surprises around every turn, Children -> labor / a profitable wallet making business.
