evil fable

Bizarre things which may be read online, seen around...

New year resolutions concerning health:

- decrease smoking;
- workout.

However, on the first day at gym, before going, he snorted cocaine. 

Why? To improve his performance? To bear physical activity easer?

Anyway, it's difficult to understant... It's illogical, unreasonable.

Unhealthy. Against all projections.

A bad lifestyle as option. The same of many soccer players who failed!

The worst are not the drug use, though, it's lying (to himself).

Nothing else than the old and famed choices... Improve? Recover? No: get high!

no smoke without fire

I confess I am used to the new reality in Rio that is favourable for no smokers - (finally!) people there is obligated to go out of the places to do it. No excuses to light any cigarette indoor anymore… Hence, when I am in Porto Alegre I felt myself displaced.

Here, unfortunately, they still insist to continuing doing it as before all laws that have forbidden it, at least when inside. Ok… I know that their behaviour related with smoking is different of carioca’s. However, gauchos have always been more politicized…

In Rio Grande do Sul they should be more aware about that… and give a good example like in another issues. On the other hand, the situation is better now than a few months ago when everybody was used to smoke everywhere!

Well, things are improving… better: smokeless.

smokers tips

Para quem quer focar, mesmo em meio a tanta fumaça: em Amsterdam, a ‘desculpa’ “vou lá fora fumar um cigarro”, na intenção de “dar um tempo”, uma circulada, ver o que (ou melhor, QUEM) está acontecendo não cola. Como é permitido fumar dentro dos lugares, mesmo que em áreas restritas, só resta ir ao banheiro mesmo...

Outra dica é a questão da ponta. Por aqui, dizem que não se deve guardá-las porque quando apagadas e depois acesas novamente liberam alguma substância que eu não entendi muito bem o que era... e que faz mal, ou altera o sabor do produto. Mas, na boa, isso é um luxo para poucos, somente em lugares onde é permitido. Fora, queima-se tudo até a última ponta mesmo... Up in smoke, a la Cheech and Chong.
