This is your life

It's been a long time since I posted, eh? well eat me. I didn't feel like it...until now. So lets seee. The best weekend ever happened in wisconsin this year. It was me, p-nuts, fish, steve, kris, and megan. See pics below. It was rockin. Some highlights..."AND DRINKING!"...me and p-nuts in the ER room for like 3 hours, cracking the nurse's up...fish's rule making the ladies drink triple... the 'roadhouse' drinking game...finding a part of fish's game when he couldn't...megan saying 'yeah he did'...good times, good times. Then its back to work, boo. Then friday came, and I got fired. Long story short, covered someone's rear by forging an email(yes i know stupid), got caught, got fired. I don't expect sympathy for this in anyway, cause it was my dumbace who did it. Interesting though...when I told someone about this, they told me that I worry to much about other people and not enough about myself. I suppose it might be true, but I think it goes with my bullet theory. I honestly feel that I would take a bullet for almost anyone. The reason is simple. Chances are, if someone has a bullet coming for them, they didn't chose for that to happen. But, if I dive in front of it, I made a concious choice to be shot. It might be a flawed theory, but it's mine. I don't really expect bullets to be flying all around me, but its a metephorical thing, as you can see above. Oh well, I guess that's one character flaw which isn't so bad to have. So anyway, not much else has been going on in my life. Just enjoying some time off. Don't plan on starting on another job until after we get back from our mexico cruise. Anyway, check out the pics, and check ya next time.

There was a quiz on smoking that i felt like taking, and here are the answers, but some were skewed...

1. What is the addictive drug in tobacco?B. Nicotine is the addictive drug in tobacco. It is the most addictive substance known. About one-third of all people who use tobacco even once become addicted. I'll give them that one
2. Which of the following types of tobacco is the safest to use?E. No tobacco is safe to use. Cigars, pipes, cigarettes, and all forms of smokeless tobacco cause damage to the health in the short-term cause addiction and contribute to hundreds of thousands of deaths every year. Here's a skewed answer. The question asks which is safest, not if any of them are safe...so technically, this was an invalid answer.
3. How many people are killed by tobacco use each year in the United States?C. 430,000 people are killed by tobacco use each year in the United States. Worldwide, tobacco use kills about 3 million. I have no basis for argument
4. How many tobacco-related deaths are preventable?D. 100% of tobacco-related deaths are preventable. Ok...how many car-related deaths are preventable...100%, How many murders are preventable...100%, how many deaths from starvation are preventable...I think you get my point
5. Which of the following chemicals is not found in tobacco smoke?A. Chlorine bleach has not been found in tobacco smoke. The active chemicals in rocket fuel, nail polish remover, and barbecue lighter fluid are only three of over 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, 43 of which are known to cause cancer. Smokeless tobacco contains 28 chemicals known to cause cancer. Click here for a fuller list of the chemicals that are found in tobacco smoke. Ok, the active chemical in those items...but, if I blew my cigar smoke into a jet enginge, even a bajillion times...do you think that rocket would go... i think not
6. Which of the following is true about nicotine in cigars?D. One cigar contains about forty-four times as much nicotine as one cigarette. (One cigar = up to 444 mg of nicotine; one cigarette = up to 11 mg of nicotine.) One cigar has as much nicotine as almost three packs of cigarettes. again...nothing to say
7. Which of the following diseases is commonly caused by spit tobacco?D. Mouth cancer, including cancers of the lips, gums, and tongue, is commonly caused by spit tobacco. Spit tobacco users frequently have parts of their mouth and jaw removed to try to slow the cancer's progress. For the true story of a young spit tobacco user who died of oral cancer, click here. again...
8. How does nicotine produce addiction?B. Nicotine produces addiction by stimulating the release of excess neurotransmitters. Over time, the brain is used to a certain concentration of nicotine in the blood, and the new levels of these neurotransmitters. Without nicotine, the addict feels uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. another fact
9. Which single event cause more cigarette addiction than any other?C. The U.S. fought in World War I from 1917-1918, and U.S. soldiers were provided with all the free cigarettes they could smoke. Between 1910 and 1920, per capita consumption of cigarettes increased from 94 per year to 419 per year. ...and what would have happened if they didn't have those cigarettes...the term war is hell comes to mind...as bad as it is, cigarettes do calm
10. What is the leading cancer killer of women in the United States?D. The leading cancer killer of women in the United States is lung cancer caused by smoking. It surpassed breast cancer as the main cancer killer in 1985. ok, how many women had lung cancer vs. breast cancer...

About 181,000 people die each year in the United States from smoking-related heart disease and stroke, and about 158,000 die from smoking-related cancer. The remainder of the smoking-related deaths, 123,000, are from lung diseases other than cancer. i got nothing...but sounds a little off
