as hypocritical as it sounds, i'm starting to realise smoking's for daaaamn fools.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 06:43 (twenty years ago)

Dude, I knew that right from the getgo, why dyou think I was never a smoker? I didnt touch the things ever, til my 30th year.

Now I guess I think "fuck it I dont care anymore".

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 06:49 (twenty years ago)

Haha, yeah, I guess when I've had the urge the little voice says 'Shit Mikey, there are a million other things that could kill you too, you know.'

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 06:55 (twenty years ago)

i smoked for 10 years and when i finally gave up i realised that i hated the idea of some stupid inanimate smelly little objects (really the habit itself but you know what i mean) having that much control over my behaviour. still it took me loads of attempts to give it up for good.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 06:59 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, stupid addiction, stupid health problems.

99 percent of the time it's easy to resist, but god, sometimes you just get this hunger.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:06 (twenty years ago)

oh i know the hunger. a 10 year habit is not one that can be cast aside no worries.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:09 (twenty years ago)

Its weird hey. I hate the damn things. They smell bad, they taste worse, and many of my friends are disgusted by it to the point of wanting to avoid you... I dont even really get *cravings* perse, and yet...

BTW my dad is ok, not a lung clot at all in the end, thank god. They dunno what was causing the pain but they know it aint his heart or lungs.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:10 (twenty years ago)

I have far more seriously embedded and nasty addicions that smokes in any case. I mean in the sense that I cant see myself getting off em.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:10 (twenty years ago)

good news about your dad trayce!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:12 (twenty years ago)

i'm addicted to music, books and information.

i fear any kind of technological apocalypse.

i'm already working out which book stores i'm going to loot right after i ransack coles richmond, once civilization goes.

fresh cigarette smoke smells damn good sometimes actually.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:24 (twenty years ago)

fresh rollie smoke i still like. fresh taylor-made smoke makes me gag. especially walking through clouds of it at the train station early in the morning.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:30 (twenty years ago)

but then again i do remember quite clearly how much i used to love the smell of my own first cigarette first thing in the morning. it's not so long ago.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:33 (twenty years ago)

damn, yeah, it does. the smell of brewing coffee and fresh cigarette smoke.

smells like... victory.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:34 (twenty years ago)

haha it's all a matter of perspective. now i think it smells like stinky homeless people and sweaty drones that work at centrelink.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:36 (twenty years ago)

especially walking through clouds of it at the train station early in the morning.

or in the evening. jesus. you know those people who step off the train and light up straight away and you're in this crowd of people moving off the platform and...gueargh

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:37 (twenty years ago)

that's exactly what i mean gaz. and you're trapped on a crowded escalator with their fuming cancerwand about 6 inches from your face. the face through which must inhale air. can't believe i ever subjected other people to inhaling my stinky pollutions. sorry other people!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:39 (twenty years ago)

bah, smoke up, THINGS FALL APART, THE CENTRE CANNOT HOLD!

*cue Godspeed! You Black Emperor track*

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:41 (twenty years ago)

my next door neighbour, for whom i harbour the most violent hatred for a variety of reasons, smokes like a chimney. he literally gets out of bed at about 2am and goes downstairs into his courtyard for a fag, waking me up when he slams his door. and because of the set up of the complex where i live, it invariably wafts into my unit, even if all the windows are closed. i cannot express how awful i find it to wake up to the smell of cigarette smoke on a beautiful and otherwise perfect morning.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:42 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah, hey, that reminds me, I like the smell of cigarette smoke

EXCEPT

there's this greasy goodfella-wannabe on the bottom floor who goes outside to smoke two apartments below every morning, so i wake up to nasty, nasty weird italogreek supertobacco smoke smell most mornings.

He's marked for loogie out my window down onto his.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:47 (twenty years ago)

do it mikey! it will be karmic return for my stinky next door neighbour too! i wonder how i can get him back for the noisy sex sessions with his series of dubious lady-friends though...

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:49 (twenty years ago)

he told me off for closing the gare too loudly one night too.

i think i've found my nemesis.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:51 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I smoke, but when I'm hungover like a bastard it is the LAST thing I wanna smell (I dont smoke during the day at all, ever, unless for some reason I start drinking at like 3pm heh). So smoke makes me wanna hurl, to the point I make nick go on the balcony hehe =)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:21 (twenty years ago)

yeah see i could never do that when i was a smoker, that thing where you don't smoke during the day, or only smoke socially. i would have my first smoke as soon as possible after waking up (i.e. before brekky) and then would be constantly thinking about having the next one right through the day. i was a pretty heavy smoker though.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:23 (twenty years ago)

i like to sit somewhere quiet and contemplate. i only smoke like 2 or 3 a day tho.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:30 (twenty years ago)

if i could do that i would smoke to this day

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:39 (twenty years ago)

i have a romantic notion inspired by bill evans

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:45 (twenty years ago)

the slowest suicide in history

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:47 (twenty years ago)

haha i suppose we're all a bit suicidal when you look at it like that!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:47 (twenty years ago)

i think yr probably more likely to die from a car accident than cigarettes

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:51 (twenty years ago)

"whatever you do...don't drive"

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:52 (twenty years ago)

to be perfectly honest the cost was probably the key factor that finally tipped me over the edge.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:53 (twenty years ago)

i.e. not the health aspect. although i am much healthier now that i don't smoke i must say. maybe i just look after myself better in general now though.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:53 (twenty years ago)

yes...don't do anything that costs money! don't buy anything that is being really heavily advertised.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:55 (twenty years ago)

haha. i remember working out that if i gave up smoking i would have the deposit for a house saved up in 12 months or something. of course i never bought a house. but i did save up lots of money that i'm now squandering on further education that i probably don't need either! greedy greedy greedy.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:57 (twenty years ago)

you good capitalist gem. now you have knowledge kapital. aquire aquire aquire

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:58 (twenty years ago)

it's people like me that are keeping this economy strong! and building our great nation on a dubious base of personal debt!!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:00 (twenty years ago)

pretty soon it will be all feudal landlords and serfs...o...wait.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:02 (twenty years ago)

oh yes and soon i'll be a feudal landlady. perhaps i'll go into insolvency law and see if i can completely and personally ruin a few people's lives, that would be a lovely way to continue my forays into kapitalism.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:03 (twenty years ago)

no doubt one day - in this horrendous and cruel existence you enjoy - you will see a young child with a crippled leg and few toys. you will be trying to get the last few bucks off his single ans simple mum. he will be outside, looking forlorn. dragging his leg. and you will feel a twinge. a slight twinge that will nag at you. nag. nag. until you decide you must do something...

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:07 (twenty years ago)

...and i will rush hastily to the nearest tobacconist (leaving poor schappelle destitute in my office, forgotten at once) and donate all of my hard-won millions to him, crying 'give the fags away to all and sundry, to anyone who needs a puff, give them away quickly' and then i will bask satisfied in my largesse, waving away the frivolous whimpers of the anti-smoking lobbyists.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:18 (twenty years ago)

and on park benches throughout the land the poor, the underpriveleged, the intellectually challenged and the physically problemetised will sit and contemplate their existence, drawing the poisonous smoke into their lungs and thinking of bill evans beautiful beautiful music.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:29 (twenty years ago)

and one day, far in the future, they will all gather together and pass around a shabby hat to take up a collection. and with that carefully saved little fund they will get a lovely expensive but tasteful plaque on a fancy obelisk shaped like a packet of winnie blues erected in a park to remember their great benefactor, gem, upon which they can gaze as they inhale that glorious nicotine into their tarred and blackened lungs. ah yes i can just picture it. the obelisk plays bill evans around the clock obviously.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:36 (twenty years ago)

ok i gotta go to the pub and get me some passive ciggie smoking done now. have a tops weekend gaz!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:37 (twenty years ago)

Morning Mongrels. What the fuck am I doing up on a Saturday?

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Friday, 15 July 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

So I went and saw Sin City last night.

JESUS CHRIST, WHAT A FUCKING GREAT MOVIE!

It's weird, movies like Sin City and Kill Bill have made me feel more alive than any other movies in YEARS.

(they also inspire me to heights of stupidity - i started training with a bokken, or wooden katana, after I saw Kill Bill part one)

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

I am not doing that on call week EVER AGAIN. Last night I was so fucking ill when I came home I had pains in my chest from stress, and I ached all over and wanted to hurl. Luckily, after doing one last late job, nothing else came thru all night and Iwas able to tuck up early with a cammomile tea and sleep very very soundly.

Altho, when I woke up this morning I had a minor panic attack thinking about how to extract myself from this work situ and my chest hurted again :( Then I fell back asleep and dreamt gunmen were having a standoff in my parents street with the cops which we thought was kinda cool until we realised they were ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IN THE YARD and one came inside brandishing a shotgun and grabbed dad, and we all shouted "no no dont! He just had a heart attack!" (I guess y'days events trigggered this), and I was a sobbing frightened mess trying to talk the gunman down, saying "dude yes I agree, single dads DO get the bums rush from the govt, I agree! We all do!"

And then I woke up :/

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 16 July 2005 01:55 (twenty years ago)

Also hey Mikey - I should hook you up with my friend Dom, who has a sword class weekly where they train in sword and katana and such moves, I reckon you'd be into that. I think now you need licences and shit to weild and own swords in vic tho (I know he has one now).

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 16 July 2005 04:19 (twenty years ago)

Oh er, Dom doesnt run the class, he goes to it. I didnt word that well.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 16 July 2005 04:19 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I'd love to learn how to behead a man with one aimed slice.
