Ciggy Sucker

One thing that comes to mind when I think of smoking is the stench of an ashtray. Gross. What makes people crave that nicotine sooo badly? Beats me... buuuuut what I do know is that there are people in my life who don't smoke on a regular basis but when they drink they can smoke half a pack! Ciggy suckers.... wrapping their lips around cancer sticks and taking a deep breath in and willingly coating their poor little lungs in that thick, noxious smoke. Not only does it instantly make your breath smell so foul, but it ruins your teeth. I guess some people think that's attractive? I'm just not one of them anymore.

I used to be the social smoker.. or the ciggy moocher while out at the bars but all of a sudden snapped out of it and realized how repulsive and harmful it is. So if you want to smoke... by all means, do it, but don't get too worried when you start spitting butter. Ha. I love my pearly whites!

Yo Ho Ho! Oh wait, Ho Ho Ho... that's it ;)

Today is the day that marks the first day of the crazy busy Christmas season. I don't think I'm excited for a couple of reasons: 1- I'm broke and 99 cent store gifts are noticeably... well 99 cents. 2- I can't stand all of the cheer and lame-o songs on every station. If I didn't sound like a man when I sang I might be happier about it because then I'd sing along. 3- The only dressing up you can do is Holiday sweaters or santa hats. (yawn).

Isn't it funny how there is at least 24 days of build up. Tons of crazy shopping, wrapping gifts, keeping secrets, decorating, singing songs, smiling and being excited and the BAM! You wake up early.. say call/text/visit everyone you can to say MERRY CHRISTMAS or Happy Birthday Jesus and around 5p or 6p it's over. All of that commercialized crap is over in just a few short hours. It's just not worth all of the craziness. I would be stoked to wake up, eat a great breakfast, say Merry Christmas to the people I can't live without and that's it. I'm not even saying screw the gifts and crap because I'm broke (again) this year but because that's not what this should be about. I'm hoping that since most of the united states is nearly broke.. they'll realize what Christmas is really about.

Oh man... I bet santa can hone in on this blog and read this. He's totally passing up my place this year... dammit! Guess it's assorted nuts in my stocking this year... just like when I was a kid :)

Who woulda thought?!

I would like to announce that I have acquired a pair of radical yet funky specs for way less than the usual cost! I decided to make my way over to my local 99 cent store today to do a little impulse shopping. Seeing as how the current economy has ripped me a new one, I've been force to shift my priorities and start impulse shopping at places like the 99 cent store. Normally I would be happy to snag a 5 pack of bubble gum or a car duster for the low low price of a dollar but today was different from any other! I found a pair of reading glasses that actually work... they don't look good, but they work. I put 'em on, grabbed a box of candy canes that was next to me and read the nutrition facts with ease! It was amazing. I came home, hopped online and immediately proclaimed my love for the 99 cent store. Who needs an eye doctor when you can get reading glasses for a buck?!

I don't care who laughs at me because these glasses are hideous or who thinks I may eventually go blind for wearing cheap-o glasses... I'm stoked and I love a bargain and plan on wearing these forever!
