I WANT TO QUIT!

October 22nd, 2008 by Pierre | 5 Comments | Filed in Daily Woes, He says, Pyertubs

Hmmmmm Time to “walk the talk”… And I’m starting with the Man in the Mirror… I have a really bad vice, and that is smoking! I’ve tasted my very first stick of cigarette when I was in Grade School ( Grade VI to be exact)… My Second stick was when I was in College… It has been on and off until I enrolled in Law School where I got hooked… There’s no question about it, I’m Hooked… But I do smoke ethically (excuse? justification? nah, just hear me out), I don’t smoke in front of my Parents (they do know I smoke), When I was living with my Parents I don’t smoke inside the house… I don’t smoke in other people’s homes, unless they are smoking too… I don’t smoke when there’s a Baby or a Pregnant Woman near me.. Or when the people I’m talking to don’t smoke I don’t smoke.. I don’t really have urges.. I don’t go out in the middle of the night to light a cigarette.. Or stop what I am doing just to get a nicotine fix.. But I do smoke, theres no question about it and I’m not denying it.. I do know the ill-effects of smoking and as much as I want to QUIT, I can’t… But I think I WILL! I think I smoke because I am insecure.. I smoke just to be able to fit in with the smokers.. And I thought smoking was cool! Well it was sort of a form of REBELLION.. But I realize I’m only damaging myself.. There was a time when I didn’t smoke.. When I was in High School I didn’t smoke.. I was an athlete..(so I say) I played soccer football, but when I quit playing when I was in 2nd Year College I started picking up this bad habit.. It was occasional though.. I only smoked when I was out drinking with friends..

Present… Now I smoke at least 6-12 sticks a day.. (I think) and more when I’m out drinking.. Since wifey is away (I’m not blaming her, this is all me), I have all the time on my hands which lead me to light up.. I need to quit now! When I think I still can.. I don’t really see any benefit of continuing this bad habit.. It needs a lot of SELF-DISCIPLINE.. Which I think I don’t have.. Realizing that this is a bad habit is a step though, and when you know its bad for you there’s a tendency to shun away from it..

Let me just take it a day at a time.. Baby steps so they say.. And I just did the First Step, Realizing I don’t Need this Habit, I can Live without this Habit.. Realization I think is the first step.. The next step would be finding ways/methods to facilitate the kicking of this Habit.. Wish wifey was beside me to guide/help me through this.. I’ve heard that withdrawal symptoms include Irritability, Cough and Colds, hmm I don’t know what else..

I know I can’t do this alone! Suggestions anyone?

REMEMBERING MJ!

October 17th, 2008 by Pierre | 2 Comments | Filed in He says, Pyertubs
I’m not talking ’bout Michael Jordan.. I’m talking ’bout Michael Jackson…

Being alone does a lot of things to a man ( or woman).. And for me one thing it does is make me emotional… When you are alone you get to do a lot of thinking (reflecting) and listening to music doesn’t help… Well one song got inside my head and it really (literally) brought me to tears and a moment of reflection… When we’re alone we usually try to find something to do and sometimes it’s not worthwhile.. Some revert to “escapism”, alcohol and all other sort of vices.. My advice is to communicate… talk to your love ones… having a close-knit family does help.. Talk to your Parents, to your siblings… It works for me… some problems are best not faced alone…

Here’s a song you can digest, it would be good for your heart and soul…

God Bless and rock on!!!!!

“Man in the Mirror”
album: HIStory
artist: Michael Jackson

I’m Gonna Make A Change
For Once In My Life
It’s Gonna Feel Real Good
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right…

As I, Turn Up The Collar On
My Favorite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin’ My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See Their Needs
A Summer’s Disregard
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man’s Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya’ Know
‘Cause They Got Nowhere To Go
That’s Why I Want You To Know

I’m Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I’m Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Nah)

I’ve Been A Victim Of
A Selfish Kind Of Love
It’s Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No Home
Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me
Pretending That They’re Not Alone?

A Willow Deeply Scarred
Somebody’s Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya’ See
Cause They Got No Place To Be
That’s Why I’m Starting With Me
(Starting With Me!)

I’m Starting With The Man In The Mirror

I’m Asking Him To Change His Ways

(Take A Look At Yourself And Then Make A Change)

I’m Starting With The Man In The Mirror
(Ooh!)v I’m Asking Him To Change His Ways
(Change His Ways-Ooh!)
And No Message Could’ve Been Any Clearer

Take A Look At Yourself And Then Make That…

(You Gotta Get It Right, While You Got The Time)
(‘Cause When You Close Your Heart)
You Can’t Close Your…Your Mind!
(Then You Close Your…Mind!)
That Man, That Man, That Man, That Man
With That Man In The Mirror
(Man In The Mirror, Oh Yeah!)
