Women are evil and I'm not gay so where does that leave me?

I woke up this morning thinking "women are evil and I'm not gay so where does that leave me"? It just popped into my head like a toaster pastry begging to be eaten. It struck me as a considerably odd thought to have first thing in the morning. I don't think women are evil. (-- don't think I'm gay either for that matter). My guess is that it's probably yet another residual effect from my recent nicotine withdrawal. Yah-frickin' hoo.

The really stupid part is I haven’t even quit smoking yet. In the past I’ve always gone cold turkey. For long periods. Like 2+ years at a time. Yet I always start again. I know that after a long period that first smoke tastes like old ashtrays and that my lungs freak out. But I keep going because I know eventually I’ll get used to it again. Of course then you can really enjoy the addiction. Not to mention the stink eye looks from non-smokers.

At any rate it is suggested that you wean yourself off a little at a time for a higher rate of success. So that’s where I’m at. Maybe they suggest that because after a few weeks of “weaning” you don’t ever want to go through it again. Or maybe non-smokers got together and tried to come up with a good way to fuck with me.

Of course living in Nevada is not the best place to be a non-smoker. It’s really popular here for some reason?
