Everybody that knows me knows I smoke cigarettes, drink lots of beer, never exercise and pretty much eat whatever I damn well please. The combination of all these bad habits is a recipe for disaster. The problem is I know it and do nothing to change it. Everyday I tell myself that I feel fine and see no reason to change anything. I know that sooner or later all these bad habits are going to catch up with me but the question is "when will they catch up with me"? Will it be gradual? Will it be sudden? Will it hurt?, what am I talking about, of course it will hurt. I have no medical insurance so treatment is out of the question. I wonder how long the suffering will be?
Even if I stop right now the damage has already been done. Sure it could add a few years to my mundane existence but sooner or later I am going to die anyway, right? So why not continue doing what I enjoy doing? They say you only live once and I guess that is true. A hundred years from now none of this will really matter but for now the real question is, will it be sooner or later?
Stay Tuned!

My grandpa drank,smoked and ate ALL his life.Never was sick accept for the prostate thing most men get and maybe a flu here and there.He never took meds other then an aspirin,when sick,he sweat it out with hot beer and a dozen of blankets.At the age of 80,he still was a mson,carpenter,plumber etc...and built himself a garage and backyard pavilloen.We always said he would die with ahammer in his hand.That happend...when he was almost 100 years old!You would have never guessed he was that old!NEVER!
All things things that taste good are bad etc..fuck it....I am not skipping to nasty stuff to extend my life.I rather go happy to hell then miserably to heaven.
Me and Jim just talked about that last night....its not that we all not know how to eat and drink,its just that we LOVE to eat and drink.:-)
I have also heard stories of people who decided to quit all the bad habits and ended up getting sick or even worse. It is a matter of choice.

It'll always be in the back of your mind I think but at least your aware of what may happen. Just be prepared I guess for when that day comes. I think you could cut back on the smoking though. ;)

Posted by: sompopo at February 24, 2006 07:20 PMI can relate. I once stopped smoking, at that point I was feeling good about myself. A full year later had a later bout with self destruction. Started to smoke again. Havn't stopped yet. I am feeling the toll now. Doc says there is a weeze in my lungs. I am commited to quit for good. In two weeks I will. Not for me though. For the woman I am in love with. I want more time. I am going to at least try. I don't even want to know if it is too late. I am going to try like a have a fresh start. Me and Zyban.
