Time Flies...

Not being one for art on demand, I have been reminded that I actually have readers and they would appreciate some new brain melt from your ol pal Grebo, so here are some things I've been toying with as of late.

General state of ones health: I've not been one to become ill very easily in my life, but as I get older I'm finding that this is no longer the case. Those who know me, know full well I love me beer and have smoked roughly half pack a day since I was 18. I don't make excuses for these 'habits' I enjoy both but tend to smoke more than drink. This is where the problem comes in, as more and more folks are jumpping on the smoking is bad for ya bandwagon (OK it's been some time in coming, but cut me some slack) I've found the world has gone from "A light? no I don't smoke" (which is cool just move on) to "You know your killing yourself as well as me with that poison" or as I know like to call it Jack Boot Non Smokers. I have no problem with non smokers what so ever, I still believe we all have the right and freedom to make our own choices and decisions in this life. I also try my best to be considerate of others, I usually don't mind be banished to the outside world to have a growler.

What I hate are self rightious saviours of the world. I've found quite a few of them live up here in Colorado (Leftist Californians who went on to another state to pollute it with their ideals). Bumper stickers proclaiming that the earth is not my ashtray and second hand smoke kills. Wake the fuck up people if you think I'm the biggest plague on 'your' planet you need to really wake the fuck up and have a look around. Multi conglomerates, crazy governments and folks who intentionally wish to do you harm should be higher on your pecking order. So I've devised a plan for anti-social bumper sticker campagines. Some of my favorites so far are.
1. Support your local police...Beat yourself up.
2. Support mass murder, Bush needs a job next year.
3. Pick pockets UNITE! The IRS is still hiring!
4. Second hand smoke kills! Fire up your SUV.

Sure they aren't the best, but I'm so damned tired of people preaching at me, live your own life and I'll live mine. If we are lucky the two of us will not intrude on one anothers realities and we'll both be happy. You only get X amount of time to be a parsite on this planet and we all have our own ideas of how to spend that time. So let's not waste one anothers time by trying to live the other persons life. Yes I will most likely die a horrable cancer ridden death, just a short time after me liver fails, but you know what I'm not regreating it; why should you? People die everyday, every 3 minutes that this stupid round planet spins some poor fool goes to the final check out. Sad, yes and no. Some folks need to be removed from the collective it is proving the darwinistic 'theory' of evolution and survival of the fittest. We are just the test pattern for the next generation, and hopefully the things we did wrong will not be repeated (FAT Fucking Chance)but it is there, after thousands of years of 'progress' we as the dominate spieces on the planet have grown and done some amazing things, yet we still allow some of the denizens of the planet to starve to death or go without basic human needs. So here it is bucky, the next time I light up a cigarette and it is bothering you, polietly say so. you'll find the majority of us who still smoke will either put it out or leave your general space. We all are alloted a certain amount of earth to use for good or ill, I'll try to keep my ill out of your obviously superior good if you will grant me the same measure by keeping your self rightious bullshit on you half of the sphere. We can all live together if we really try, unfortunately we all get caught up in our own little realities and sometimes forget that each other is there. It happens and will never change, what we need to learn is to respect each other differances and carry on from there. Until then we will war with one another, we will commit acts of hate, mistrust and paranoia against one another. There is no perfect world, never will be. One of us will always do something to piss the others off, sie la vie; but seriously is your life truely going to come to and end because you see me having a growler out in the cold and snow many feet away from you? Or is it, that you gaze upon me and see a person not hampered by the system you are so emeshed in? Rule breakers are hated because they are envied, we are always seeming to 'get away' with something you are not. Let me bust that myth right off, yes at that moment in time we are saying sod the rules I'll do as I please, but trust me we all pay for it in the end. Instead of being angry that smokers are polluting your air and littering your earth; Think of how what you do on a daily basis effects your own life first, then save the rest of on yer own time. While yer doing that I'll be down at my local having a few pints with friends and enjoying a good smoke. I.E. I'll be having fun while your being miserable to the rest of your fellow humans.

So as a passing thought, you have no idea when your final check out time will be, wouldn't it be better spent having fun and enjoying your time on the big blue marble than making life miserable for yourself and for others? We all have choices to make, I won't tell you what yours should be, if you don't go around telling me what mine should be.
