Brain Damage is a Cure for Smoking

Now don't take this news the wrong way and go around smashing smokers with baseball bats. But it seems that brain damage is a cure for smoking addiction. Now I'm sure brain damage is a cure for a lot of things like stress (imagine how less stressful life would be if your brain was damaged and you didn't understand anything anymore.)

Hopefully this will lead to figuring out how inhibiting a certain part of the brain can lead to ending nicotine addiction. Now we just need a cure for ignorance and the vile evil that is the tobacco industry and their devil worshiping lobbyists.

free sxe chat

So I've been looking at the logs for my blog over the last few month, nicely provided by statcounter.com. Typically these logs can give you insight to your visitors, help you provide what people are looking for and get an idea as to what people seem to like most. Some interesting things are that people quite often look for SxE tattoos and AIM icons. And the most commonly searched for lyrics that hit my site are those for Something More Than Ink.

But the most interesting and funny thing is the amount of hits I get from the Middle East. It seems that they are most likely not interested in Straight Edge and are too hurried to spell check. Some of the best search terms are: free sxe chat, hot sxe, sxe tv, live sxe, sxe zoo free.

So be sure to spell check when you search for sxe and i guess not to search on xxx unless you have google's filters on if you actually want to look for Straight Edge info.

One Life, One Chance

what if i said i was an accident waiting to happen
would i trip and fall
fall on my words and would you say
say that i was wrong my words were out of place
went where i didn't belong

this to me is fact and fiction plays a role
confusing situations that i can't control
the heart of matter
it beats with pride
sometime i wear it on my sleeve
sometimes i keep it inside

and no one said it was gonna be easy
and i'm not afraid to try
and with the odds stacked up against me
i will have to fight
one life, one chance
gotta do it right!

and i can't let fate dictate what's best for me
gotta take control of my own destiny
you can't relate
you think there's no escape
but i got everything at stake
here just to prove you wrong

and no one said it was gonna be easy
and i'm not afraid to try
and with the odds stacked up against me
i will have to fight
one life, one chance
gotta do it right!
one life, one chance
gotta do it right!
one life, one chance
gotta do it right!

one life, one chance
gotta do it right!
gotta do it right!

Anger and Poison Free

A friend of mine had a rather crappy situation on New Year's Eve with a pothead. My friend isn't Straight Edge, but she's very adamant about her distaste of drugs and drug use. This pothead kept trying to get her to smoke, she insisted to him several times to stop. And her boyfriend even told him to stop, but he kept being a jerk. I'm not a violent person, so I'd never condone fighting, although sometimes it'd feel real good to punch an ass like that right in the face.

I've been trying to ease up on my anger with people like that, it's just not healthy. Being poison free to me also means removing the anger you have that can poison your attitude and outlook on life. I think that anger and stress are sometimes the most poisonous things in our life. I know that I get pretty stressed out a lot, and sometimes get very annoyed and angry with things I know that I should ignore. I've decided that I need to just not let things bother me that I can't control, and I need to ignore people that are poisonous.

Some people are just ignorant and poison filled and they only make your life worse if you keep them around or let them in to your life.

Amazing Illustrator

I've always loved fantasy art and fairy art. Brian Froud is one of my favourite fantasy artists (hopefully the Dark Crystal sequel will be good.) Surprisingly as if it was meant to be I met a beautiful woman on the subway in Brooklyn that is an amazing fantasy art illustrator. We have been dating now for two months, she isn't Straight Edge but is very respectful of my choice to be Straight Edge. When we met I didn't tell her I was SxE, but I gave her my myspace page which obviously speaks about being SxE. After she found out that I was Straight Edge she asked me what it meant to me before making any judgment, and I explained my views and how they're personal to me. I was very happy that she wanted to know what it meant to me and how it affects my relationships with others, because I try to make sure that my choices don't interfere with my friends or people I date.
