My Guilty Pleasure
Forgive me Father for I have sinned.
It has been many moons since my last confession.
Why, worry not my dear son, for the Lord is Merciful upon his subjects... pray tell what are the recent transgressions that bothers you so ?
Father....I worry that I have committed the final violation known to man.. the 7th Sin....
Nay ! Lord in High Heavens ! Dinnae say you have... did you...
Aye Father... I have... I've committed the most heinous crime known to man...
What is it my dear son...tell me, so I can pray to our Lord high above us, may he look down upon your troubled soul and bid thee forgiveness. Be it Murder? Rape?Bribery?
Nay Father...nothing so trivial... nay my sin is big...far more heinous and degenerate....for which I am eternally shameful and sorry for.... for I have...I have.... started SMOKING in the past few months...
Good Lord Almighty !
Betrayer !!! Return to the path of the righteous my son before it is too late for thee.... Return to the path of the living, for what you seek right now only leads to an early and painful death...
Aye Father...you are right... Good God (!) all this begging for forgiveness is making me damn stressed... I need a smoke...d'ya happen to have a lighter on ya, padre ?
Most assuredly my son, let me grab my lighter in a mo'...I swear I left it somewhere under these voluminous robes of mine along with my Malboro Reds...
Hallelujah ! Praise the Lord Above... Amen my brother, Amen...;-p
Aye dear readers...your eyes didnae desert you just now... I have indeed started smoking.
Now for most of you that don't know me personally, it'll just be a normal occurence in life. So wtf is wrong with this guy neways ?? People start or stop smoking every day of the week... what makes YOU so special, buster ?
Well humble readers...being the son of a Cardiologist (that's Heart Specialist for you non-Latin speaking folks) I've been taught from day one the dangers of smoking...I know all the data, all the statistics, I have mental pictures of what smoking can do to your lungs and arteries, etc.
You could say I'm the poster boy for the No-Smoking campaign......
Until recently when a bastard friend of mine introduced me to my current Weapon of Choice : Sampoerna Menthol Lights....
The crisp menthol taste is just light enough for my beginner-level throat and the addition of cloves and sugar with the kretek gives off a sweet aftertaste on your lips after each drag of the fag.
Yes..I am NOW the poster boy for Sampoerna Menthol Lights....
Good God...I'm SUCH a hypocrite... I'm so stressed !
I *need* a smoke. D'ya got a light on ya mate ??
