(Yes, this means it will be up to one year before my number comes up and I get one hand done...after that I can go on the list for the other.)

Quitting Smoking Gave Me Diabetes

Oh yes it did.

And you know what, Im sure that me dying of heart disease due to smoking would have cost the health care system a LOT less than keeping me alive with diabetes. I sure as shit would have been a lot more pleasant to be around through the whole process too.

So, all you anti-smoking nazis out there, the jokes on you! Not only do you not get all that juicy revenue that this ex-smoker provided (and for which you should be eternally grateful), but you will have me around longer to penalize you for your bitching about my smoking.

And before anyone gets on thier high horse and gives me the second hand smoke bullshit, there is something else you should consider:

Once I quit smoking, I found myself gagging on the smell of car exhaust everywhere I went....but can I walk up to everyone in a car and bitch at them about what they are making me breathe?

So if you want to try to lecture me, youd better be damn sure youre 'without sin' yourself.

Bad news for Mars

Oh goody. They've confirmed water on Mars.

Bad news for Mars. Look what weve done to Earth!

Bad news for Joe Average of Earth, who will doubtless at some point be called on to fund a Mars ice harvest.

(Bet they are looking for oil too.)


For the record, I am not a fan of space exploration. I think we ought to use all that money to sort out the problems on the surface of this planet we revolve around the Sun on - just for instance - world hunger and the homeless.
