Relics of a smoker

DSC00324

I am still trying to find my headphones, and phone cover. I was looking behind my desk last night. I noticed a wire, and wondered if it was my earphones, I needed to bring light upon the matter, so I reached for one of my lighters. Yes using a naked flame, is not smart I know. However the lighter in question, the Montpellier one failed to strike. The gas has evaporated

I smoked on and off from 15- 30. I naturally bought lighters and matches. I had a jar full of disposable lighters, and matches. Which I have got rid of.

The Montpellier lighter, I bought in Montpellier, when I was visiting Charlotte. I have been to Montpellier, twice and I didn’t get many souvenirs

The shiny dolphin, I bought in Hawaii. I had wanted to get a shark, but they didn’t sell them. It looks like a Zippo lighter, and it was shiny. I got it, as an ice breaker.

I miss, the routine of smoking. I miss my lighter, my silver dolphin came with me across the world. To New York, to France, and now it rests on my shelves, a relic of my past. A museum piece of my life

Now it can be your reminder, of the world.. not just the tar and nicotine stuffed papers you bought it for.

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
