you know, about 2 months ago life was prety good. i just got out of school (yay!), i was getting really good at CS, i just got a kick-ass job, and i was totally happy.

but now i feel like jumping off a god-damned bridge. a really tall one, too.

but since then, ive....
moved into a new house with 3 other, annoying people (mom got married. shit.)
gotten robbed (sister left the old garage unlocked. shit times 2)
lost allmost all of my computer privledges (shit times 10)
my tv broke (fell over in the moving truck, screen smashed in)
all that, and other shit. then theres the problem of EVERYONE in this house being not-happy because its too crowded. my sisters come home smelling like pot every night. i dont have a tv or a computer in my room (my sisters have a puter. what the FUCK?!)

im sorry. im just upset because not a lot of stuff is going well right now. but not i have to go to bed becuase i have to wake up WAY to early tomorrow to go to school to pick up my books and what not. then i have to go to work and stay till 6pm doing stupid shit like setting up Outlook accounts and re-installing service-wise becuase the FUCKING SERVER CRASHED the other day.

sorry, i had to let this out somewhere... and its ok, because you guys dont hate me
and i dont hate you either (except the dumb newbies)

Tis ok man. It will work out in the end. Just don't do anything that you'll regret, like I did...
<story time>
I used to live with my mom and my two sisters in Alaska. I'd visit my dad in RI every summer and christmas. Life was pretty good, I was doing decently in school, except that I was constantly fighting with my mom. We used to scream and yell at each other like every night, for the dumbest little things. One night she said "This summer when you go to Rhode Island, you're not coming back." So I said fine and started packing my shit. Now I just finished high school, my mom came down for my graduation, we made up our differences, and now I'm regretting moving down here. Anyway, </story time>
Don't do anything you're gonna regret in the long run, and just try to keep sane

Hang out with your sister for a night and it will all seem less important.

/me smacks cr0bar with a stick
No.
pot bad.
plus, i dont want to drive with her. she drives like a fucking.... uhm... a mule. shes been in 3 car wrecks in the last month. only small things like bumping into the backs of (parked) cars, but still.
plus, if i dont that, my mom will get on MY case too. shit, i dont need that.

Yeah, slapping cr0's wrists for that hasn't proven effective in the past, from what I understand...

I didn't say pot would fix your problems or make them go away. Most people who use it responsibly agree that it puts things in a new perspective. I promise you won't:

A. die
B. get brain damaged
C. go crazy
D. become addicted
E. start using hard drugs
F. get cancer

How's that for a guarantee? With alcohol I guarantee only E and F. Cigarettes I guarantee B and E.

i am not sure, but doesn't alcohol ruin your liver. thus giving a potential cause for liver cancer?
Posted by demonk on Aug. 02 2001,22:46
Actually, you can get B with pot, it just takes many, many, many years of smoking it. And you can get F as well since the fumes are more toxic than a cigerette's to the lungs. So, you can only guarrenty A, C, E, and maybe D. Depends of the personality type for D, since an addictive personality is much more likely to get addicted.

Says who, your DARE officer? Cigarettes are filled with adulterants. Put a drop of nicotine on a cut on your body, you'll die a horrible death in ten minutes. Drink a vial of it, same thing.

if you enject egg whites into your vien, you die. same goes for snake venom

pretty much if you inject anything directly into your veins that's not supposed to be there, you're fucked. everyone rants about how cigarettes and marajuana are terrible and evil and will kill you. well, as a smoker myself, I am not denying the mal effects of cigarettes. however, anything that is done in excess will be bad for you. e.g. docotors might say that smoking 2 cigarettes a day will remove 10 years from your life, but what about eating 2 mcdonalds hamburgers a day? or 2 servings of beef for that matter? people who smoke disgusiting amounts (like 2 packs a day) will die in their 30's-40's, sure. but if you eat 5 big macs a day then the same thing will likely happen. it's all about moderation.

im still not sure why anyone smokes cigaretts... its a 'filthy, disgusting' habbit.
and you get English teeth. like people over in england (i dont think theyve discovered tooth brushes yet). then you start to smell. eewwww.

I've never heard of people smoking egg whites or snake venom recreationally, though. And if you just drop a bit of nicotine on an open cut you die--I didn't say anything about injection. If you eat it you also die. At least I can still eat egg whites now that you've put a stop to my intravenous use... If anyone wants a fun experiment, take an eyedropper full of nicotine to the pet store. Empty it into a fish tank. Watch what happens.

erm well seeing as you americans are overly obsessed with dental hygiene despite the fact that i have never had any dental problems and shock! i dont floss i'm not bothered about not brushing twice EVERYDAY. hell sometimes i cant be assed to brush at all on a sunday. and i have nothing wrong with my teeth i dont need braces never had cavaties. heres a bit of home truths. just dont eat so much fucking sweets "candy" and go to the dentist every six months.

still wont convince me that smoking hash is a good thing. i like to restrict my body to 1 deadly sunstance thanks. and i dont have to grow mine or whatever you do to get it (probably suck off a business man ) i just go to the off liciense down the road.

But how would you define "moderate smoking"? 1 pack a month? an average of 2 cigarettes a month (like me...)? 5 cigarettes a day? Most smokers I know would consider themselves "moderate", even if they are on 1 pack a day.

Interesting question: How often/much does everyone here smoke/drink/use drugs?


Posted by Rhydant on Aug. 06 2001,05:41
*sigh*
i knew cr0 would say something cynical about that. it was just a sort of reference. i think. ah screw it.

on another note, ive gotten numerous phone calls from people around the office. "why is the mail server down?!!??!"
"why cant i get incomming emails?!"
"why am i a dumb ass?!!?"

and im just the intern. this job does have its high points funny people in suits. heh heh

I'm definitely with DKB on the smoking thing. I know many people who smoke and are convinced that it's completely non-addictive and that they can quit whenever they want.

But then again, as I think most of you know, the Canadian government legalized weed for medical purposes for the reduction of symptons for certain nerve and brain diseases. I doubt anyone would legalize something that would kill you faster than the disease it was meant to ease. I'd say moderation, but VERY strict moderation.

And to Rhy, you have my sympathy.

Well considering to participate in any medical studies for the ACS you have to be a moderate smoker (1 pack a day), I would say I'm a light smoker.


Posted by t|nt|n on Aug. 07 2001,08:35
DKB is right. I have never been one for religious dental hygeine and have never ever had any dental problems. My friend on the other hand has had huge problems because he brushes too much and he wore his gums away, lol I shouldn't laugh but I am gonna anyway haha

pack+ a day on smokes
dont use drugs

Drink. Hmmmm....
ok
this is easier over a weeks time
1/2 case of Bass Ale
1/2 a bottle of JD
1-2 bottles of wine (taken with dinner)(or sitting on the front porch with the wife making fun of the neighbors)
Thats about average. Some weeks are more some are less.
Right now with the hot weather the Ale intake is a bit up but the JD is down.

First off.. here's a fun fact.. just a while ago our water supply was treated a very small amount of chlorine, making it so that as we drink water it cleans our teeth and makes them stronger. That's why everyone in our generation's teeth are so much better then the generations before us. Now.. onto drug use.. I consider myself a light smoker, of the ganj. I usually don't smoke more then 10 grams a month, and this summer I have yet to smoke any.. so I'm totally clear headed right now.. Usually when smoking it though its with friends.. and there have been special occasions that required an entire O. For drinking.. I drink very little just a beer here and there, and maybe a little vodka between them. This is mostly because I enjoy weed a lot more. I don't smoke at all, because I've never really enjoyed it as much as ganj... Since I tried pot before lighting up a cigeratte.. there was no reason to start up another habit.

maybe i'm the lame one in the group but i only smoke about 2 stogies a week and maybe drink (moderately - 2 drinks) every 2 weeks.
but i'm stupid though.

Want to know what's funny?

At work, we have to stick to the P&P (policies and procedures). Theres one on smoking that says that if you need more than 1 cigarette in 3 hours you have a problem and should see a councillor.

This is probably true but is amusing cos smoking is a part of society.

I'm getting back into smoking ganja. I have never smoked a cigarette though in my life, I don't see the point. I've only ever smoked nice skink, because it hones my mind onto a task and allows me to think in totally different ways(great for uni shit when i was there).

I think that people that say blanket style DRUGS ARE BADD!!!!!1 just because one substance is dubbed legal over another need to get their head sorted out. Compare the damage done - alcohol is more dangerous than cannabis, you're more likely to get liver failure, get in a fight, choke on your own vomit, etc.

Hell, if everyone smoked a little weed, the world would be a much more chilled out place.

This has been a party political broadcast by the Green party.

Tattered, it was fluoride, not chlorine that helped the teeth. Chlorine is often added to the water just to help keep it clean and relatively sterile. The fluoride is that helpful ingredient in most toothpaste.

Not me, shit gives me a headache and thats it.

headaches make me mean and i have access to guns and the knowledge to use them.

This is bad for the world.

But, stoned people are fun to mess with and this makes me happy. So, i mosly agree with you.

haha ... i know what you mean. like if you go out with a load of people to get drunk then you get called out so you cant drink ... laughing at your drunk friends can be funny as fuck.
heh.

Whenever I'm tempted to smoke pot, I just reach for my anti-drug.

Alcohol
