One of my turns

One of my favorite things about the Internet and running my own site is that I can share with everyone some of my favorite things. One of them being Pink Floyd.

In case you didn’t know, I recently quit smoking and I’m now working on day 2. The first day was a bitch for me, and I can only relate it to being much like our friend Pink here, a chronic snapper with a propensity to toss the TV out the window.

This is pretty much how I felt the other day when I left work. Thankfully I was able to shake it, but I still snapped a bit.

There is oh so much more to quitting smoking, especially when you have been doing so since you were 13-14 years old. There are psychological considerations and withdrawals that will happen.

Have you ever wanted to kick the living dog crap out of the person driving in front of you because they were busy yakking on the phone? I almost did yesterday, and I hope today’s drive home will be less eventful. I wanted to shake the thoughts of wanting to smoke so bad that I was willing to create a fight to distract myself.

No, knitting and/or praying doesn’t work here, this is something no one but oneself can help to overcome. Perhaps if I had any ability to believe in invisible men, then praying would work as a placebo. But I’m too pragmatic for belief in any super-being wanting to help a luckless chap like myself, or any one of us for that matter.

Pain seems to be the best way to distract my head from the obsessive thoughts of smoking. I’ve been abusing my body with smoking for over 25 years, what would few more bumps and bruises hurt? If it get’s me by another hour of not smoking, I’ll take it.

I only wanted to share this video, it kind of sums up how I felt yesterday, and personally, I want to remember that feeling and never forget how horrible it feels.

Perhaps I’m ready for a leather clad bitch to whip me silly. Are we at that point in my life yet?
