Happy holidays, estrip!

May the festive spirit always be with you the coming new year!

PS: I miss you, (e:Paul), (e:Terry), (e:Heidi), (e:libertad), (e:mike), (e:Joe) and (e:Dianne) (well, Joe and Dianne, I have never actually met you but miss you all the same!)

PPS: I am sorry for being away so long... but these apologies are kind of empty because I seem to have less and less time to even breathe these days. Regardless, I remember you all often and send good vibes to you all the time! Many many hugs!

And yet people continue to smoke.

Despite the massively accumulating evidence.

Original article:

NYT Report:

Addiction is a psychological disease. I fail to understand why we are not treating it on a war-footing - or even the same footing as several other relatively milder contagion.

Why are cigarette companies even operating without paying for the health insurance of everyone on this planet? (well... shared equally by alcohol companies and arms and ammunition companies).

To every smoker I know. Please try and quit. At this point, I will be sorry if you die, but I sure as hell won't forgive you if you force the repercussions of your disease on your family, friends and neighbours, knowing well the certainty of this happening.

Looking back...

I just ended up on my own post from almost 4 years ago for the same question I had 4 years ago. Maybe its proof that one never changes inherently.

And I obliterated my FB account just like I shooed away my twitter page all those years back. There is something so indeterminably creepy about FB's security implementation. I am just not on board with it.

On a related note, I don't write for leisure anymore. I sometimes wonder if this is making my general writing more unimaginative.
