I love conversations with my dad. Today has been... pretty damned good...

Sarah Vaughan - [Summertime (UFO Remix)]--- I watched "Devil's Advocate," today, for the some large numberth time. Showered, went out to luch with my mom, originally planning to go over to her house, to help her put an armoire together. We were both too full, and too tired, after lunch/dinner (steak for me ^_^), to attempt it. So home it was, then the rest of "DA" (heheh), and a nap, for me.

During the nap, mr_hinzelmann came over, wanting to go celebrate the kickassed job he did on his brief by going to Lé Vortéx, and drinking beer, and eating food. I had no problems with this, as i really really wanted a Belzebuth. God that beer is good. Had some chips, too.

Got home, had a call from my mom, called my dad, and had a kick ass conversation, with him. (Dizzy Gillespie - [Manteca (Funky Lowlives Remix)]). My father quit smoking, when i was nine. I knew that. What i didn't know was that he is still on what he calls "The Nicotene Diet." Occassionaly, he'll sit in a smoking section, or hang around smokers. We had a long conversation about the fact that i used to smoke, what that meant, and exactly how strange the social stigma against smoking has become. That led into a conversation about personal responsibility, as related to family (because a lot of the same stigma against smoking, or drinking, is put on having a family, these days), and society as a whole. That was a good conversation.

Earlier, today, onthe way to the Vortex, i realised that i never quit smoking. Shut up, that's not what i meant. I mean that i'm Waiting. I'm waiting/working for nanotech, showing people the leaps and bounds it has made. I want to be able to repair. I want biomechanics. I want to grow my own internal tech. Adaptation and augmentation, not simply artificial attachment. I want to be where smoking doesn't kill me. I really do plan to Live until i Die. (Ramsey Lewis - [Do What You Wanna (Mr. Scruff's Soul Party Mix)]). And no, that's not what you already get.

I'm out. Later kids.

Love, I had something last night you must try; I told you about it on the phone but you wanted a reminder. It's called The Heart of Darkness, by Magic Hat. It's a damned good stout.

And smoking....has become a weird stigma. Since quitting, I've had time to think about it, and how frelling...dumb...it really is, as a habit. For me. Someone else might not feel the same. *shrug* It all comes down to people's inability to be objective, I guess.

I don't even know, anymore... It's all gone strange. In a different way.
