Cigarettes, Ice Cream, Figurines of the Virgin Mary

Hi again. Getting back into this is going to be a pretty slow process, so bear with me. I thought I should give you something of an explanation for why I’ve disappeared so long. A little over a month ago I quit smoking (again) with the aid of a doctor, who has me on every sort smoking cessation drug known to man - patches, nasal spray, gum and all sorts of wonderful pills. Nothing but giggles.
Anyway, something I didn’t really anticipate was that I would go batshit crazy. No, that’s a lie - I just didn’t anticipate just how batshit batshit crazy I would get. As I said, nothing but giggles. I’m told it’s a normal reaction to this sort of thing. Whatever, I’m beginning to feel a little more like myself again, so I should resume writing crappy posts in short (not that short) order.
As far as ice cream goes, I really don’t like it. I’ve never known anybody not to be just shocked when I tell them that. Whatever.
I don’t own any figurines of the Virgin Mary myself, but I believe that there may be one in the family, so I can neither confirm nor deny.
Carry on.

Chris, blogger. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world’s first bionic blogger. Chris will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster. . .
and less stinky, too!
Welcome back, Chris.

I feel so bionic, though I fear I stink in new and innovative ways. Cheer not my good man.

Cadillacs, blue jeans, Dixieland playing on the ferry. Another town and one more show. Yellow tigers crouched in jungles. Politician’s funeral pyre, innocents raped with napalm fire. Isn’t this where we came in?

What is it with guys and King Crimson anyway? Yeah, I googled the lyrics, so what?
Welcome back, Chris, I missed your writing. Whether we always agree or not, you have a unique (and very good) way with words.

quitting REALLY sucks. I found it helpful, with each passing day of torture, to remember that starting smoking again meant that one day, when i quit again, i would have to start the torture all over.
so, don’t start again!

Welcome back man.
Quitting smokes had to be one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. I wrote about the experience when I made it to three months here:

Long time ago. I resumed on 9/11. But have been smoke free again for over a year. You can do it Chris.
