How do you poison your life?

Or do you?

The booze and procrastination are in a first-place tie for the Blunt Neomonkey's Progress Award...however, I suspect they may be 2 sides of the same coin.

1. CocaCola and procrastination.

2. I don't and I don't swallow the myth

that material wealth is important either; an insidious poison if there ever was one. There are no pockets in a shroud.

Booze is an interesting paradox in most societies. We rail against "drugs" yet we have a legal one that is just as destructive as all the others. It's addictive, it fucks up lives but it's legal.

4. there may not be any pockets in your shroud

but yyou think magnificent marble monuments to yourself come chear? Gold filigree and murals don't come cheap, you know?

plus, it's a bitch to aquire enough thoughrobreads to be buried with, just in case. And what if I need a tiget in the afterlife? a mink? maybe it's cold, you konw? and what if the only currency is diamonds? I'm not taking that chance mister.

3. I am a chronic worrier

It turns out that it is adaptive for me because I feel more secure considering all the bad things that could happen so I am never taken by suprise. I know that this is harmful to me both physically and emotionally, my relationships, and my enjoyment of life. I am talking with a counselor about this. I need to convince myself that I am capable of whatever life may bring and feel security in other ways.

5. worry-wort and caffeine

I really think myself into really bad "ruts", where I overanalyze everything (you know, the type where you wonder why the boyfriend didn't say I love at the end of the phone call when he always does? Horrible, I know...I need to stop worrying so flippin' much).
I drink waaaay too much caffeine- I get severe headaches and shakes if I don't drink coffee or Diet Coke constantly through the day.
And also, I've been getting lazy- I love learning, but I hate doing work or tests.
