Smoke smoke revolution

We’re back on one of my favourite subjects. Tobacco. Now at this juncture I’ve been down to about six to eight cigarettes a day. I don’t want to hear all this “good for you” and “that’s great” twaddle either. It’s bad enough having to listen to it from the various doctors and such. It wasn’t through choice and there is nothing so very great about it except the amount of money I’m saving. Roll your owns that are not my beloved Export A’s just makes the whole thing a thousand times less fun, and that’s just all of that.

But the real revolution around here is that Oliver quit smoking a week ago. He just went from thirty to zero in three days. I guess that that is a really good use for that stubborn streak of his. The one where I’ve learned that once he says no that there is just no point in arguing, wheedling or whining at all. It’s just done.

During the week I collected and washed every ashtray in the house. I put quite a few away. The ones that are still out get emptied and washed a lot more frequently. They are tending to be the ones that are works of art in themselves. I love funky, cool ashtrays. Remember the days when they were everywhere? A lost, fucking art. Well, I’ve got mine and I’ll never give them up. Pry ‘em out of my cold, dead hands you fucking smoking nazi’s!

I learned something today

Watching “Coronation Street” gives me major anxiety. 94% of the characters are criminally stupid or sociopathic or completely self involved and self indulgent. Waiting to see the results of the completely bad behavior is a total car crash. So what? Am I supposed to take a pill just to watch my favourite show? No, that would be also criminally stupid. The alternative? Do I have to quit my (relatively harmless) Sunday indulgence as well as so many other favourite activities? Feh. Double feh.

Before The Next Teardrop Falls - Freddie Fender
I don’t care what anybody says I like Freddie Fender! He was probably a big influence on my love of Tejano now. You go Freddie! Invade my dream anytime.

Vibrator Dependent - Mojo Nixon
("She's vibrator dependant
Don't want me in it
Says I don'tmake the right noise")
Unfortunately Living On a Prayer keeps sneaking in and through as well.

I have been thinking about Mojo quite a bit for about two weeks now. I even went so far as to Wiki him last week. Skid Roper as well. I feel like something is up with him. Maybe he will stop promoting/imbibing alcohol as much and return to his mushroom maniac roots and make a comeback. When I licked him, (yeah you heard me) he was still the old Mojo. Later when I saw him again I was dismayed at his whole set being an ad for booze. Too much playing for the college crowd I suspect. I had no more desire to lick him 'cause when booze comes through the skin, it’s HORRIBLE!
