What up! You need to update this shit more often. I only look at it every now and then but you haven’t added shitttttt. You know when you say that you are suspicious of anyone you don’t know… my guess is that you probably know everyone who has ever signed in. Live long & prosper.

Gosh Pookie I don’t know what to say. Really I don’t. This is the first time I had one of you people to sign the GuestBook. I have never had anyone representing the gay community sign in before. Tell your butt buddy thanks for another hit.

But really, I don’t always know all of the people (or whacko’s as I call them) that sign the GuestBook. I can guess. Sometimes they will leave hints. Like you Long Live and Prosper thing. That’s a Star Trek reference. And I have to say that after Secretive I’m a little tired of this whole “guess who I am” bullshit.

Anyway thanks again. I will try to update more often for my gay readers like you Pookie.

It’s been two weeks since I had a smoke. I have almost made it to the point that I don’t have any cravings for a cigarette. Almost. Every once in a while there is an employee or two that really gets on my nerves. Then of course there is the little things. Like your fingers stinking of nicotine. Or how your fingers turn a kind of weird color after some marathon runs of binge smoking at work. It’s shit like that I really don’t miss.

Don’t worry I haven’t turned into a non smoking evangelist. Hey if you smoke and you don’t want to quit, well don’t. For that matter I’m not certain I will stay clean. I have been listening to Denis Leary’s No Cure For Cancer. The reason I say I’m not certain I can stay clean is because nicotine is a drug. And I was addicted. But I’m trying. You have to want to quit. You have to really want to quit.

At least that’s how I feel. I’ve said plenty of times “I’m not going to smoke any more.” But up until now I didn’t really want to quit. Does that make sense? I also haven’t been to any bars for the last two weeks. That’s the trick for me. It’s the bars that will screw up my no smoking. There is something about drinking in a bar that makes me want to smoke. Again maybe it’s just me.
