The best thing about when you’re giving up smoking, is when you’re able to save quite a sum of money. I had to admit, with my daily adventures getting out of this bind, it really does take a lot of willpower to overcome the urge. Here’s a round up of my misadventures so far.
A lot of sleeping
I can never put into good words what is happening now. Ever since I lay down the rule not to smoke, its been kindly replaced with a lot of sleeping. The moment I lay my head on my wet pillow, I just doze off & the sheeps never even get the chance to jump.
Increase in food consumption
Unbelieveable. I started to eat more than I should and luckily I get my exercise whenever I can. A lot of jogging & gym time is required. I ain’t going to be chubby again. Hell no!
h3. Less lethargic
This is happening for the best of me but at a very, very slow pace. Plus, my thoughts are little bit clear nowadays. And I think, I think, my complexion is getting better (no “Oil of Olay” shit is going on).
I have a long way to go, since I was a hardcore smoker. Wish me luck, wish me heaven.
Update: I’d be lying to myself if i didn’t admit that i’m still currently absorbing a limit of 2 sticks a day. Yeah, i know. It’s a shame.
Instead of arriving in my office, feeling down after 4 days of non smoking(yea, I’m quitting. Wish me luck), a cow bull arrived in mail. From today onwards, I’ll be riding the rodeo of Odeo.
Odeo is podcasting service, where you can subscribe to a variety of shows available on the Web. From kinky voiced female emcees (Suicidegirls radio), to talks about how IT becomes a culture on its own and many many more. With a pretty snappy, fun & cool web interface, you have total control of what you want to listen to.
The roo-Odeo people also made a plus by providing a simple synchronising software, just for you to download all of your (new) favourite shows & listen to it from your iPod or your choice of mp3 player. I don’t have one, but it’s a good reason to have one.
The Odeo service is not that revolutionary, but definitely a different approach taken by Evan Williams, former employee & co-founder of Blogger. It takes audio broadcasting to a different new leve, where your shows follows you wherever you go.
As a hardcore Web user, I gladly support this effort being put up by the worldwide bloggers. Censorship is something feared by most bloggers, especially when it takes away the only weapon the common people has, freedom of speech.
So, if there are any Chinese blogger who would like to be adopted, there’s a spot for one blog in my space. My contact, nazroll [at] gmail dot com. Peace.
