up in smoke: mon(k)day number 1

March 23, 2009 · Posted in Uncategorized 

Okay… so today is day number 1. Sucks. arrrrgggghhhh… But I did it. One too many times. Nearly 14 years ago I told my dad I would quit smoking (that was the good news, the bad news my moving to the US). Since then, I have been out of integrity around it. Bunch of half-assed efforts, but they all came from discipline – from fear. And what better thing to do in the face of fear than rebel? And so I smoked even more… 

Now it’s time for a new level of devotion to my life. Devotion comes from love and makes discipline look like childrens play. Let’s kick some monkeybutt! Day number 1 sees the premier of mon(k)day. Will keep you posted on how it goes.

Growing up in public sucks and is so wonderful at the same time… Ahhh nothing like committing to an unknown quantity of strangers…
