A pretty labored metaphor

I really should stop smoking. It's bad for me and all that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Shut up already. I know. Ok? The thing is, though I know that "smoking kills" to be a scientific fact, at the back of my mind I still believe I can get away with it. And by getting away with it, I mean I believe that I will die some other way and not because of lung cancer or emphysema. We all gotta go someday -- smoking or non-smoking. So yeah, chances are, I am going to get run over by a bus. So, no sense me quitting now. You see, though I believe that smoking can kill me, that level of belief is not the same as say, a bullet to the head.

But I have a feeling that something is terribly wrong somewhere. This bigotry against pork has got to stop.

I don't know, as predictions go, maybe experts who can give financial advise or predict business trends are too much of a crazy idea for the Filipino audience. So yeah, let's continue on with brain farts given the legitimacy of news reports. We are all just too dumb.

Happy new year everyone

Second day of the year and I'm back at the salt mines, trying my darndest best to make this final year in the Mayan calendar count.
