~ About Me ~

For the more curious, here’s a short synopsis:
I was born the year before the Flintstones Winston Commercial I posted last month: Fred & Barney Enjoy a Smoke! A few months past the Kennedy Assassination; and a lot has changed since then.

It’s been suggested my Profile in the About Me section is insufficient … I’ve been asked to give a better description of myself … My thought’s however, have been; Does it Really Matter? I am everyman (or woman) struggling with an unhealthy, undesirable addiction. A social outcast in today’s world -- pretty much a second class citizen. Smoker’s are now the pariahs of the modern era.

But if your mind is still inquiring -- The abridged version of me:
Handsomely slender, slightly balding, dashing smile (stained teeth, of course), and a darn fun personality! Also a smoker for nearly 30 years.

In addition to Smoking is Bad For You! Other things I’ve learned includes:
Flossing is important; laughing is essential; and if life were perfect we’d all use a lot less duct-tape…
When the lemons are rotten why should I believe the lemon-aid would be any better…
And -- Blue Suede’s ‘Can’t Stop This Feeling’ is better with the ooga-chaka’s than without!

I usually drink coffee in the mornings, coke classic in the afternoons and beer or bourbon in the evenings …
I’ve smoked cigarettes on three continents but plan to be totally smoke-free by the time I visit my fourth…
I used to hang in smoky lounges; I prefer a bar and grill and a quiet time in the corner booth…
I refuse to Karaoke out my love for humanity.

The photo attached to the ‘About Me’ page is of the last pack of cigarettes I bought. For those still inquisitive about what I look like, I trust you can tell I must be rather fetching and quite appealing by the way I write!

In case nobody’s noticed up to this point, I’m new to the bloggasphere.
My latest attempt at conquering my own insanity -- not only because of health issues but also to not allow this addiction to have such control over my life!
