Hollow Men

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Quitting

Today's blend: None

Lately my flavorful Turkish Silvers have become disgusting. The dry mouth has become more annoying, and most importantly, my anxiety levels have been sky rocketing.

19 Cigarettes. That's how many cigarettes were in my hopefully last pack before I chucked it. That's right, as of 3pm yesterday I have decided to quit smoking. I've smoked for over a year, about 5-7 cigarettes each day, costing about 5 dollars per pack. Hopefully this blog won't turn into a quit smoking journal, but none the less there will be some progress reports.

So far it has been 17 hours, 24 minutes and 52 seconds. 3 cigarettes have not been smoked, saving a whopping $0.86 for those 3 cancer sticks. I've also apparently added 15 minutes to my total lifespan.
