Two Week Induction Results

Whether its your weight, problems in your job, your marriage, alcohol, run-ins with the law, money problems, whatever, if you're suffering from the problem, its you're fault 99.9% of the time. I call it an addictive personality. I've never been drunk, but if I have one drink I wake up the next morning and think "Wouldn't a drink be nice about now?" I've done it with caffiene, food, TV, books, all manner of things that are bad for you in excess. I hate dealing with words like "addicted". Its a simple word, it means "a person can't/doesn't/won't stop doing something". But then there's the victems and the underprivledged and the angry people who are mad because they're addicts and don't want to deal with it, and then there are the recovering addicts who get ****ed off because people use the word addict but really mean victem, and then there are all those people who make the excuse, "I'm addicted". When I pick up a good book at night to read before I go to bed, I can't set it down. I'm not a victem. Nobodys fault but mine. I'm not a book-a-holoc. I don't need welfare, free counseling or amnisty. What I need to do, and I do quite well, is to not pick up a book late at night. Now, cigarettes, there's another one. Fact is: my fault. When I was TWELVE I knew smoking was stupid but I started anyway. At every age since then, I've known that its stupid and I need to quit. Yes, I'm addicted. But I'll be damned if I'm going to argue that out with anyone, so f-it, I'm not addicted. Whatever. Just send me my gov't cheese in the mail, pay $500/tablet for my welbutrin through medi-cal, I'll buy cigarettes with my welfare cheks whilst pumping out more babies just for the money, and let the liberals eat all the totsie rolls while they put a "fat tax" on fatty meat. E-gads, democrats. Lol. Don't vote for 'em, aye? Please? |

Can you tell the difference between a real meaning of a word and the meaning you wish to attach to it? PLONK! |
