I like cigarettes. I like smoking.

67

I recently gave up smoking – well almost. Every second day or so I can not fight the urge and I submit to my addiction.

I have smoked mostly for 20 years. I have given up before (a month here a month there) and even managed 3 years straight without a cigarette passing my lips.

I have no idea why this time it is so hard.
I have always quit “cold turkey” before without a real problem (just easily tempted back to the dark side).

I enjoy smoking and I have my rituals. A smoke with my coffee, that unbeatable hit after a meal, that friend to rely on in times of crisis, cigarettes have a place in my life that is usually associated with pleasure.
I like cigarettes. I like smoking

What I don’t like is how they ruin my health. I hate the was I have to plan my life around when I can fit in my next one, I hate the smell, I detest the cost  and I resent the judgment placed on smokers by others.

I’m still quitting – I’m just finding it hard.
I have some quit smoking CD’s on order and I will let you know how they go, but if you have quit successfully Id love to know what worked for you.

The best way to give up smoking? What do YOU think?

Kyle Sandilands suspended again over Magda Szubanski comments

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Vile kyle is at it again. This time the radio shock jock is in trouble for comments made about comedienne Magda Szubanski where he suggested the larger than life funny lady could become skinny if she was in a concentration camp. Magda Szubanski who recently lost over a quarter of her body size is of Polish origin. Poland is where many Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, were located was offended by his comments.
kyle-sandilands The general manger of Sydney radio station 2Day FM, Adam Lang spoke for the station and said:

‘2Day FM has suspended Kyle Sandilands following comments he made during The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday 8 September, 2009. The suspension will be in effect pending further discussions involving Kyle Sandilands and station management. 2Day FM believes the comments made by Kyle were unacceptable and sincerely apologises and regrets any offence they caused.’

I think its about time this mean little man was gone for good.
If his last stunt – where he used a 14 year old rape victim for entertainment wasn’t bad enough this time he has to go!

This man is not smart or funny – he appeals to the lowest witted audience who find his cruel comments amusing. He gets his cheap laughs from poking fun at and humiliating others and I fail to see his appeal. Well actually thats not quite true, I can see how his inane ramblings may appeal to perhaps 14 year old boys – but how anyone else finds him funny eludes me. He isn’t even original!

I think kyle Sandiland is a jerk – what do YOU think?
