hello darkness my old friend
:tongue:you've come 2 talk wiv me again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
Joyful Noise!
Noisy Cricket vaping mod
;; --- NB ---
It's a mechanical mod, not regulated. I'm chickening out on using mech
mods. Seems those are akin to literal pipe bombs. Of the few incidents
where mods exploded or caused melt down, a high percentage were mech
mods. Figure using a regulated mod with safety circuitry is a safer way
to enjoy vaping.
Been vaping about two years now. The biggest issues I have are putting
wicks into coils, refilling tanks. These issues are simply a matter of
patience needed. At times, I have minor issue in tightening the gear
together too well. These minor user issues aside, not had any real
serious ones. Feeling a lot better for quitting smoking.
Granted I have kind of replaced one habit with another. The replacement
though is estimated to be 95-99% safer for myself and others. And vaping
is taking money away from big tobacco, big pharmaceuticals, big lawyers.
In the past two years I spent roughly $160-200 on gear and juices per
year. Compare that with $2,000-4,000 per year I would have spent on
tobacco product.
Having smoked & used tobacco for roughly 30-35 years, I can say that
using nicotine via vaping has not left me desiring or craving tobacco.
In fact I recently had to give back a cigarette after two drags. I can
no longer use tobacco, My body has cleared itself of the toxins and now
repulses on use.
(I gave up tobacco in 2000, about the millionth time I quit, but it stuck that time).
Smoke gets in your eyes.
Eyes of fire burning bright against stillest night, raging with life's holy light, upon wing brothers and sister's take up the ever glorious plight, the foe is deadly might.
( Congrats on kicking the smokes. I did for a bit cold turkey, got back to the world, right back to smoking. Rough to do cold turkey for some of us. Not saying vaping is for all, there are many it helps though. :) )
You, light up my life (OK shoot me for that song LOL)
(Thanks! I had quit a bunch of times and that time I woke up a non-smoker, I lit up one for a buddy who was wet from swimming about 2 years ago and almost threw up)
common baby light my fire.........but not a cigarette :P
"Cigarettes and room to let, I'm a man O means, I'm a moving on, I'm a king o' the road ..."
( Please don't shoot me for that one. Wife likely will and one good shot or two, bout all I can manage a day. Yep, kind of how I was regarding the two drags off one last week or so ago. Cannot smoke 'em now, repulsive burning bullets.)
Road Warrior (but just fuck Mel Gibson)

Gibson is a freaking loon. He seemed normal for a while, but maybe doing Mad Max did his brain in! The whole religious mania, whew!Quote:

I really wasn't aware of an ongoing pattern, just what I thought was an isolated incident with the anti-Semitic rant. And attributing his perceived mental decline to a movie so early in his career ( Mad Max, 1979 ) just didn't make sense to me.Quote:

As for Gibson being a bigot? I do not know him beyond his public image, inclusive of what he says. I perceive him seeming bigoted from those factors. Though, he may be a religious fanatic instead. This seems logical as well, considering a lot of people following Christianity seem on par with fanatical Muslims in sharing a "convert to my belief or die" mentality. Note, I am not saying all. Then too, a lot of Ashkenazic Jews share that same mentality as well.
If they all follow the same G*d of Abraham, why must they insist only a singular belief/thought is correct and all others incorrect? Why not instead pool resources? Oh wait, they already do. All three religions fight among themselves serving to spoil the world for all others not interested in being of their thought/idea/belief. Got it now, they write about big scary monsters then create them for those they perceive as apathetic, weak, different. Ah ha! The old beat the big scary different over the head with bigger and more scary different ploy. I see it clearly now.
How fucking plainly immature, stupid. No wonder I tell all religions to take a hike. I have no need of any offering me either reward for doing good, or punishment for doing bad. When I choose to be good it is simply for the sake of being good. When I choose being bad, well, we have things called laws/rules/codes/statutes for punishment and more than not I choose being bad for a plethora of reasons. One such reason I see warranted is to disobey unjust laws and to not consent to tyranny, in fascist form, in religious form, in dogmatic form ... whatever form tyranny and oppression choose, I oppose it.
Now, excuse me, I will digress. Thought we had a fun whimsical game within a thread here. Fuck me! I was thinking, again. Teaches me.
Why embrace a derogatory slur? To strip it of its power. I can call myself queer, faggot, dirty cock sucking princess, I may let liz call me those as well. But you cannot, I exclude you as you exclude me in using the word as a slur. Daggers like words are dual edged, offensive and defensive. Ultimately though any duality realizes itself as a monad, a whole, without one you cannot have the other. For example, no order without chaos. Attempting to have only one or the other is childish at best/worst. Then, I'm some poorly educated and not wealthy, bisexual country boy, what would I know?
* gives two finger salute and raspberries * "Aw, fuck the Bozos!"
My point is Void. why demean myself when I get more than enough of that from the outside world ?
And the selective, hypocritical use of a slur does not diminish its power. In spite of its prevalence in the gangsta rap sub-culture, the word " nigger " ( it was so overused in the movie Django Unchained it became wearisome ) can still provoke some into violence.
Yeah, I'm :disgust: with the whole stinkin' mess also !
The rant has happened several times and I was just kidding about him getting as crazy as Max because of doing the movies.Quote:

The wind is currently an issue here.
Ever since they began naming storms at beginning of December here it has only stopped blowing 1 day in 4... think they should stop and let us go back to more normal high winds instead of gales and storm force..
... and rain? Ffs. Noah had it easy!:eek2:
Rainman (and happy to take your storms here, we are heading back into drought)
Dry as a bone (I wish)
Lynchburg, Tennessee; home to the iconic, world famous Jack Daniels Whiskey distillery....is in a dry county. :rolleyes: :shades:
Must be why it is one of the most foul whiskies on the planet, and there are a few... most of which come from this little damp land.. wonder what our excuse is?Quote:
