Im off the Pot...

That’s right you heard me. The main reason is jobs. Ive gotten 4 hits in the past 2 days (that’s more than the total). All biologist jobs in FL. They are hiring like crazy. So ive got to lay off the stuff for some time. No biggie. Ive been looking at things in a new light the past few months- Our drug use, social interactions, general lives. A lot of things I thought were ok, aren’t, and a lot of things I didn’t think were ok, are. Also, attempting to do things in my life (like the book, adjust from lifestyle changes), have made me come to a few realizations. I’m ready for a new step. Moving away will develop me personally and further my carreer. Getting high and playing cards wont. Come on, seriously, we all need to grow up. Being a lazy stoner is like spinning your wheels in a dead end. Ill miss it, but theres just better things that I can accomplish and discover. Its not the same anymore and it never will be. Besides if I ever get an itching, theres always my reliable wingman Mr. Al Cohol. Have you met him?

Pot has received some negative attention in my mind lately- hence the snippy posts I guess. I think my mind may be compensating just because I have to stop. I have to stop? Well, fuck that, its bad for me anyway! See what I mean? Kind of like how I haven’t had health insurance for about a year now. I haven’t gotten sick in over 9 months. Why? Because I cant. (Although there are other factors too- I stopped binge drinking every weekend, I do yoga, etc.)

In response to chumps post: Yes, I noticed you losing your passion. You were getting beaten down by the everyday routine that is a comfortable job. You lost your ambitions. That’s how it happens. That’s how people stay at their shitty ass jobs for 30+ years. After your week long bender, you finally snapped out of it and took a fresh breath of air. (Seriously man, you were totally out of it for the entire week). Now you get to take a step back and decide where to step next. Enjoy it. Don’t move to ohio though, politics just aren’t worth it.

And the bar/resteraunt will never work. If people cant even write 5 fucking pages of a story, how do you expect them to pull it together for that? Am I cynical? Well yes I am. I can say that I am seriously disappointed with most of you guys with this book thing. It’s a damn shame, because it could be so great. BUT, I will say that it is more difficult underneath. We all don’t share the same priorities. What may be spinning in my mind, is just a glimpse in anothers. We are all doing our own things here. I just wish that you guys could sometimes follow through on your ambitions! That’s exactly what I plan to do- im going to keep writing. I hope that you do too.
