Where Are The Smokes?

Let me get this straight. I am one of the reasons why Philip Morris Company remains in business today - Marlboro Lights and coffee are the first things I look for when I wake up in the morning. Add to the fact that I eat junk food laden with artificial color and preservatives, consume animals fed with antibiotics, eat vegetables and fruits grown with fertilizers and pesticides, exercise only intermmitently, truly I am the poster girl for a health buff's nightmare. Scary you might say, but I am in good company I think.

I am a consenting adult and after decades of being subject to the temptations of all of the above ( thanks to media and the corporations that manufacture these products ), what the hell am I supposed to do? After all, I have a cop-out excuse: I am but a normal human.

No, I'm not about to go on a tirade of these corporations like a repentant loser because I don't think I can change my lifestyle overnight. Already paranoid with the thought of getting cancer, being hypocritical will not be any good for my soul at this point. Yes, I'm really this happy person although I must say that the thought of dumping all that junk into my body sometimes creeps me out. I'm really giving it a serious thought, the change of lifestyle. Maybe tomorrow. The first day of the month is always a good day to start, right? Yes, maybe I will. Meanwhile, where are the darned cigarettes?
