Word...
I know there is something that hates that (meritt, I think) and I just realized that after I typed the title, but I'm going to leave it anyway :-)
I'm going to attempt to actually tackle one of those issues I say I never have enough time to tackle...and in 7 minutes or less!
Smoking
I hate it. Hate it hate it hate it. I'd vote to make the whole fuggin' thing illegal except I know it'd just be another prohibition and it'd never work. I could never in my whole LIFE working for a tobacco company. NO matter what job or money they were giving me, couldn't do it.
Disclaimer: Seriously, I DO care if you do it, but I'm not going to treat you different or hate YOU or anything, just the fact that you smoke.
It's the STUPIDEST thing you could do. Now, I may be wrong, but it's stupider than drinking. There is nothing good about smoking. You can DIE from smoking. Sure, some people live until 105 and have smoked every day of their life, no I can't explain it, but tons of people have died from smoking too.
I can't understand why someone would possibly do it? Once your addicted, and I understand how addicting it is (not because I've ever done it, so no I don't know THAT way, but it's something people can understand) and once you start it is very hard to stop...but I can't understand why you wouldn't TRY to stop. Some people just go on about their business not even caring that they smoke. SOme make an effort to stop. I know lots of people who "try" over and over. If you really wanted to you would stop.
The thing I can't understand the MOST is why you would ever even start. Why?! It's beyond me. There is not a single healthy thing about smoking. It's a "cancer stick" or "death stick" whichever you prefer. Peer pressure? I don't believe it. Have some will, I had peer pressure all up in my face, but I never did (and no I don't think I'm better than you, I'm just saying that it's possible to say no to peer pressure). "I just wanted to try it, so I could say I know what it's like or so I can say I've tried it." Well don't be stupid and don't try it. Who cares if you can say you've tried a cigarette? I don't see that as a good reason. Did you try it or do you smoke to look cool? Stupid...
Want to know what gets my goat?! Medical professionals who smoke...WTF? They should know even MORE than others the health issues with smoking. I don't even know what else to say about that...medical professionals who smoke, MAN I don't get that.
What to know what gets my goat even more?! PREGNANT LADIES WHO SMOKE. Can't get much worse than that. YOu're just asking for health issues with your newborn. How can you want to be a mother and be all motherly and fucking smoke while with child? Shit...those people should be taken to some camp where they can recovering from the addiction while with child so they don't hurt their child anymore.
One step below that is people who smoke with or around children.
Do you know why you're banned to the back of the building or outside or in a corner or why you can't smoke in a lot of public places? Because no one wants you around them, except other smokers. I've been around smokers, I don't say anything to them, but if I can get away I do. Like I said, I don't care any less for smokers, I have a good friend who smokes, but it doesn't mean I have to like the fact that he smokes.
I don't even like someone having a smoke "every now and then" or "when I'm out drinking." Sorry, still think it's stupid. What, I can shoot myself in the lung "every now and then" or "when I'm out drinking" just so long as I don't do it enough to kill me right away?
Remember how I said I had a dream two nights ago about Veronica and smoking? Well in the dream she was outside of FMH smoking and I walked up and somehow I knew she was on her third one already and she just kind of was all "I don't care anymore if you know I'm smoking so take that" and I just flipped out! I did a little yelling, not much, but I gave her a piece of my mind and I just walked away with Kaia, really in all anticipation to never return, but she came following after me and then I woke up shortly after she caught up to me.
I really do think I'd leave her if she started smoking, if she didn't stop right away. Honestly, it'd be killing her, me and our daughter and any future kids. Sorry, but I'm not going to accept that.
I'd never tell anyone to their face how much I hate smoking, because I don't want them or me to be uncomfortable, and then they'd think I hate them, which is not true. I have been called a "loser" or "stupid" or "not cool" or shit like that for never having smoked or drank (yeah I've had one strawberry daquri here or there) but so what? It's what I want to do, if you don't like it that's fine, just don't dislike ME, because I won't dislike you for smoking, I'll just dislike the fact that you smoke.

I can think of 2 things worse than pregnant women smoking. Pregnant women drinking to excess. Pregnant women using drugs.
Smoking is a nasty habit. Sure, I suppose it's addicting. And if the possibility of DEATH isn't enough to make you quit then you deserve to die. Just don't go suing the tobacco companies for it. They didn't jam the damn thing in your hand, light it & make you smoke it. Personal responsibility people. Learn it.

I don't hate Word. :)
What I hate is typing something and then transferring it to the blog.
I would much rather just type off the top of my head. I don't put as much time, energy or thought into my posts as most, apparently. But half the time I don't care how witty or funny my posts are. I just 'babble' off the top of my head I sip my coffee.
So... it's not that I hate Word (I don't, I swear!) LOL... I just don't want to go through the hassle of cut of paste.

haha, I can see the confusion, but I meant, I think you hate it when people say "word" as in "hello." That's what I was doing with my title just saying "word"
lol
my kitchen stinks right now, and I can't figure out why!

Ok I'm totally confused. I have never heard anyone say that before.
So instead walking up to someone and saying "hello" you just say "Word"???? Alright. If that is the case, then Yes. I hate that too. LOL.
(The one I hated actually was "my bad".) grrr.

I have absolutely no problem telling people what I think of them smoking. If someone lights up around me, disturbing my space, they deserve what they get, which is my opinion about how stupid they are. My friends always look at me and say, "Just shut-up. I know." when they are stepping outside to smoke. They are numb to me now.
I'm with Jody on the retarded suits that the tobacco companies are enduring. The idiots that smoke deserve what they get. The tobacco company didn't put that thing in their mouth. That crap drives me nuts.

Wow, you guys are awesome. You said all the nasty things I was trying to put nicely :-)
No, I don't necessarily blame the tobacco companies, I mean, they're not helping, but it's not their fault, they are just making money, it's the jackasses that smoke that are killing themselves. But I think they do target young YOUNG people, and I don't like that.

Lars, you forgot the STINK! Smoking not only is bad for you, you drag it around with you in your clothes, in your hair, on your fingers. I used to smoke since I was about 15. It took me 13 years of smoking and 7 tries to quit. I realised something-my whole immediate family doesn't smoke, they have children, and I understood that I stunk! My car stunk, my house smelled great thanks to my GF putting her foot down, but I stunk, and you really could tell when taking a nap and using your hands as a pillow, they smelled terrible! But I couldn't break it for a while. Then I realized how little time I spent with my non-smoking family because I smelled so much I was embarrassed and hung out at bars with my other smoking friends. Now I can't hardly party with them because I don't want to go back to that, plus, drinking doesn't seem so much fun anymore. And don't forget the lazyness i felt.
Try this-my friends and I would go out to a bar, drink up, smoke up, all that disgusting crap, and my non-smoking, non-drinking friend would put his hand over his mouth, and build pressure in his lungs, kind of like coughing without letting it out, and would actually blow out a cloud of smoke.
Long story short, I don't miss it, it tastes like a stick of crap anyway, and everyone else that still smokes can get taxed up the arse until they quit. Hint: Even if you quit for a short time by chewing the gum and then revert, you are still saving money in the long run-but keep trying and bring something into your life that makes you want to quit. Get rid of the monkey.
Thanks for that opportunity to let me rave to your rant! Jarod

It's awesome that you are trying to quit...again ;-)
I have also heard that it's harder to kick than heroin, now whether that's true or not I have no idea...

Yes Jarod, I remembered how much it stinks after I posted that and didn't feel like going back to edit.
Very good point, it STINKS!
Also, it ruins your teeth...yuck!

yes, looks like I forgot something too, as when I was a kid I got my front 2 permanent teeth knocked out and have had extensive dental work and am not finished yet...Speaking of, I have a friend who had all his teeth yanked because his teeth were rotten, and I couldn't stand to have that happen to me.
And I'm not trying to quit any more, I prefer to think that I have found something more important to do with my time-to be with my family. So I have quit and convinced myself I don't need to try just one more lung rocket just to see what it tastes like, and I have other things I can spend my 90 bucks a month on. That's just one more childish thing I have put away.
Family-The Anti-drug. Sounds cheesy. but it worked for me.. Jarod
