downfall of civilization

Two things that happened to me today:
1) I looked at an apartment. It was about 10 minutes from work, which was nice, and it was newly-built, which made it look nice and clean. It was a little small for my tastes, but only by a hair. I could’ve made it work, but […]

Time Quit: 3 weeks, 1 day, 15 hours, 30 minutes
It takes twenty-one days to break a habit, or so I’m told. I officially quit at 9pm on January 2nd, which makes me past the 21-day mark. And that’s a really good feeling. I feel good that I’ve stuck with it; I feel […]

Time quit: 1 week, 4 days, 1 hour, 32 minutes since 2-Jan-2006 21:00:00.

This is as much for my own benefit and to remind me of what it is I’m trying to do as it is to share with other people.
This is what the American Cancer Society lists as the health benefits of quitting:
20 minutes after quitting: Your blood pressure drops to a level close to that before […]

As of this moment, I have officially gone 4 days, 17 hours without a cigarette. According to QuitMeter, I have not smoked 65 cigarettes […]

Stewart to host this year’s Academy Awards ceremony
I’m so watching this year’s Oscars.
My favorite part of the whole article is the comments at the bottom. It’s amazing how ridiculous people can get over this stuff.

I have yet to write up my wrap-up of 2005 (which will come at some point soon, I think), but I just thought I would share with those of you who are interested that as of this moment, it’s been more than 36 hours since my last cigarette, and I seem to be doing okay. […]
