Suggestion Taken, My Friend
Soooo, I woke up this fine morning feeling a little "out of this dimensional-space" (analogous to " feeling out of place" ). Can't quite put the feeling down clearly as of now,since it is eerily familiar, and yet, clearly not so.
I guess if I were to think about it, the answer to my 1st and most pressing question is right here.
**Wondering what they are (Q&A i mean)??**
Right then, here they are:
Right then, here they are:
Q: Why am I starting a blog today and at this particular moment?
A: Because today is the day that I quit smoking, gonna have a lot of spare time on my hands. Might as well invest it in something socially elegant, despite having connotations of narcissism.
Also, a friend suggested it once, casually in a car ride ( we were all thoroughly sloshed).
But it stuck somewhere, and voila!! Here I am.
The idea of losing out on good company and normal looks (btw, heavy smoking causes early signs of aging :O) became starkly evident yesterday for some odd reason, and so it was decided. No more depending on Man-Made, addictive, deplorably dreary BS substances.
The realization that I had lost power by being a YES man, became the Albatross around my Neck.
NO is a power packed word, with many repercussions and many many ramifications.
But who am I kidding by saying that "THIS DAY, COMETH SUNRISE, I SHALL ABANDON A WAY OF LIFE WHICH HAS SUNK ITS FANGS WITHIN MY VERY IDLENESS"!!
Paaleaseee..........I know that you're not so naive or gullible to believe or even attempt such life altering things, without a SOLID plan in place.
Hoping that neither am I here's a plan sheet I'm making, just for the sake of making something, instead of running off to my favorite Cigarette vendor, right across the road from my place...*weird, right?!!*
Thus (writing in 2nd person just to make it more interesting) :
1. Don't be over ambitious and reduce from 5-10 pd, right down to 2 pd.
2. When the lust comes rushing in, start rushing in some fresh air in your lungs, and choose one of the following activities depending upon, mood, setting and propriety :
- watch pics/vid of ACTIVITIES worth living longer for
- watch pics/vids of PLACES worth visiting before KICKING the BUCKET
- learn a new song on the guitar, along with the lyrics
- revise an old song, end-to-end
- read a few inspirational quotes and poems
- read a few enviable blogs (#feelingcompetitive)
- eat something (anything at all, only, try avoiding CARBS :-))
- drink something (excluding heavy liquor)
- watch a MOVIE / TVS
- watch anything interesting on YOUTUBE
- call up a friend/family member and Chat away
- catch up on News ( any and all types)
- plan an Outing with a Friend
- think about the Human Race, and how Hypocritical we are
The last one is quite interesting, and I'm actually referring to the weird cults, clans, underground brother/sister-hoods, dark desires, crude pleasures etc. , which have been inconveniently swept under the rug.
This has been semi-cathartic and very grounding an experience. Gotta write some more sometime.
Keep On, Keeping On!!
