NO!.... Thank you for smoking

In a sudden spate of utter joblessness or would I say the lack of anything remotely interesting to watch on the tele, I traversed the 5 kilometers or so (with my handy walking stick and 5 bucks for the cab) to the nearest movie hall to check out a movie called Thank You for Smoking ... thats right people a movie that in no way has a positive social message to quit killing ourselves with cancer on sticks (talk about a breath of fresh air).

Amazing as it may sound the movie was actually awe inspiring ... not because it contained no hard driven Hollywood social message but because it actually got me thinking about this whole 'killing yourself thing' which in reality is a common state of mental being (I don't argue with the psychos at the labs they seem to know it all don't they).

So if you are gonna kill yourself, I figure that you might as well do it in a manner that suits you ... noo I don't mean just make it painless I guess that's a given .. but look deeper into it .. go into it like rambo would not just like Romeo.

Paste a hundred nicotine patches on your body and then stream away in the oblivion with some sense of High .... (this is straight off the movie by the way slightly abridged)... Thinking off all the positive aspects this may have I am gonna list a few
a)Its a High that is legal and can be bought over most counters and the best part is you can pay half of what you would otherwise pay to OD on something substantially folkloreish.
b)When you go to buy it off the counter instead of people judging (asking question like "why would she need so much aspirin??") you, you would actually be seen as a pre Madonna for change; for you are the new you; one who is trying to quit smoking (and thus saving millions of others from your passive smoke) and you seem the type who would also stop driving around in your SUV/Cab (this too will save millions from your passive smoke ... well not your passive smoke but you get the point) and lastly
c)You rock all the way to heaven and when you reach the pearly gates you get a free pass backstage to meet the almighty cause heck you tried (he doesn't need to know that you actually tried to kill yourself not the nasty habit).

If nicotine aint your poison you could always try to kill yourself with all the other non conventional suicide techniques ... some of which include a lot of whiskey an open road to a cliff and your SUV (again it helps stop passive smoking), A Captain Kirk costume in a star trek convention (Its premeditated suicide so no one else shall be implicated) or just tell my neighbor that she pretentious and most of all shes pretentious for all the wrong reasons (I bought a suit of body armor and a cage used in close up predator photography.... I barely survived but I need my nicotine to stop shaking ...horrors I tell you horrors)

If suicide is illegal in your country well then don't just sit on your ass think of places you can do it ... International waters, Iraq (with a little help from some dictator friends), or you could just risk it anyway cause if they ever find out all they can do is handcuff your limp and possibly long dead body ..... think of the bigger picture your soul is free .....

For the record all you existentialists out there ... there is no claim in the charter of the self that you can kill yourself ... I know I know im disappointed to .. but for some reason we have a social contract or moral contract if it could be said with the alternative and if you are in a frame of mind which professes the slitting of the wrists or vodka without tonic, you are not in a substantial frame of mind of acknowledge the existence of an alternative (and thus we hit a moral road block of Kafkatic proportions).... and the disappointment with hippie philosophy continues.

For all of you who have never felt the urge to kill yourself... man wake up and smell the coffee, if pink is the new black , dying in the new life ....... So SAY NO TO SMOKING and accept thy fate in a NICOTINE PATCH ... after all Kurt Cobain was wrong; its not better to burn out than fade away ... seems to me fading away seems a tad bit more comfortable

Siggy saying no to Ciggies
