Caffeine and Nicotine

Still the same day, only a few minutes later, even. I've decided that the word "procrastination" is no longer a part of my vocabulary. Everything I do, I do for a reason. As a practicing Buddhist, (and I do mean practicing) I've changed my frame of mind. At the moment, I am just thoroughly enjoying the moment. I am living in the NOW. This chair feels very nice beneath my ass. This cigarette hanging out from between my lips tastes wonderful. I am pleased with the feeling of my thoughts flowing from my mind out of my fingertips onto this keyboard. Although I just realized that I am drastically low on Mt. Dew, I'm not going to let that bother me. I'll enjoy what I have until it's gone. Ommmm. Which should be approximately 30 seconds. For those of you who don't know me well, ah who am I kidding---I don't know me very well--, but this is pretty common knowledge, I live on caffeine and nicotine.
Caffeine and nicotine, caffeine and nicotine, caffeine and nicotine. It's quite difficult to get out of bed without the benefit of at least one, if not both. My favorite forms of delivery? Mountain Dew and Kentucky's Best. Many of you may not know this, but other than having the most caffeine of regular sodas (that means not including "energy drinks"), the 3rd, let me repeat that, THIRD ingredient listed on the Mt. Dew label, is ORANGE JUICE!!!!! Do you realize how incredibly healthy that makes it? For real! Think of the vitamin C I get every day. Let alone the other healthy stuff in oranges. (don't press me on this right now, I don't feel like getting up and looking it up, but I will if I have to)
And my beloved cigarettes. For years I was a fool. I had been brainwashed, secretly addicted, and totally under the influence of the evil monster known as Phillip Morris. Do you have any idea the shit they put in their cigarettes? It's pretty crazy. First of all, Camel acts like it's some great thing that their cigarettes are made out of Turkish tobacco. The fact of the matter is, that Phillip Morris, R.J. Reynolds, et.al, sells all the good American tobacco overseas. Then they import the cheap shit that they won't smoke over there. It's all made out of stems and dust and "puffed tobacco" and "reconstituted tobacco". They also contain any of more than 500 chemicals, including arsenic, ammonia, pesticides, the same chemicals used to make car batteries, paint stripper, lighter fluid, and mothballs. Granted, smoking is not healthy at all. I know that even my beloved Kentucky's Best contain nicotine, create carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, and ammonia, but comparatively speaking... If you are a smoker, or if you are just interested, please visit the website for Kentucky's Best .
They are a way cool company. Their cigarettes are made from tobacco grown by a co-op of small family farmers in Cynthiana, KY. Anyway, I feel better about it all. And believe it or not, my lungs feel better. And they are cheap, and they taste good!
Do you sense my fabulous talent for denying and justifying? Me? Surely not.
I need to do something about this Mt. Dew situation right now.
