I just like doing it with cigarettes especially because it's ridiculous; you're paying lots of money for an obvious poison so that you... get a short little buzz. I mean cigarettes aren't even good until you're addicted, it's stupid.

But you have to know I don't say that sort of thing to just someone randomly on the street. It's gotta be someone that is in the same situation as me for some similar reason (ie at work, at school, at a party whatever). If there is some kind of association I feel the right to do it without feeling guilty.

And I don't care in the least if the only thing that enters their head is, 'this guy is a fucking prick,' because well.. I only said it because it felt good to say. So many folks ignore everyday truths so they can go on living how they're accustomed and they just hate it when something interferes with that grove. If people are thinking I'm a prick it's because they're a pussy. Automatically they feel attacked, like I'm judging them or something.

Nope. I'm just observing that thing you so expertly ignore. Sorry for bringing it up.. I know life is hard and you need your crutch and no one's allowed to say anything about it because this is your life and you have the right to live it however you want. How rude and crass I am, how inappropriate, how egotistical and arrogant I must be.

Well actually there's no such thing as right. But it is true that cigarettes are killing you.
