Vices
perplex me. You want to really know what a vice is? It’s a prohibitor, plain
and simple. It’s a parent telling us we shouldn’t see a certain movie or listen
to a certain album. Vices prohibit the things that make us happy, cope, release
stress etc., I could easily go on and on about the pleasures we refuse ourselves. What
is wrong in indulging in the things that make us happy? When I present that
question to people their response is always something like: it’s bad for my
health, it makes me fat, it’s immoral, blah fucking blah. If it makes you happy
then by all means indulge. Fuck what society says; smoking is bad for you, drinking
is bad for you, a big mac is bad for you, too much caffeine is bad for you. As
Eminem once put it so eloquently, “fuck sluts, take drugs”. If those are the things
you want to do, for fuck sake do them. I am sick and tired of hearing people tell me they want to quit this and that which ultimately leads them to disappointment.
I see it again and again. Why lie to yourself? I’m going to lose 20 pounds, I’m
going to quit smoking, stop eating fast food, stop snorting cocaine off of stripper’s
breast, or what have you. Okay that last one was on me; however stop making
yourself miserable by denying yourself the things that make you happy. Stop
inundating yourself by what society tells you what is “bad”. Enjoy your life,
you don’t know when it will end. So while you concern yourself with certain
vices, the grim reaper does not, he is ready to take your life without
discrimination, vices and all.

P.S.- I have
never snorted cocaine off of a stripper’s breast, but I have a lot of vices and
that could easily be one of them
