As much as I want to stop smoking, I can't. I've been a smoker since I was 14, going on 15, and now that I'm legally able to buy cigarettes, I wanna stop. There's some irony in that I think, but I don't know if it counts if what I wanna do is good for me. I always thought irony had to have some negative connotation or something.
Either way, yeah, I can't run as fast or long anymore and if I go three days without one I'll start coughing and getting some weird asthma thing where I can't really stop inhaling without punching myself in the chest. Scary.
ALSO!!! Before I was 18, I'd have someone else buy me my cigarettes because I was afraid of getting ID'd. NOW, every time I walk into some dingy little gas station to make a purchase, no one ID's me!!!
WUT TEH FUK GAZ STATIONZ BRKIN LAWZ!
I dunno. Just thought I'd write about something. Have a nice day!

Punk kids doing (un-)punk things.
So, Against Me! is on MTV.
I can't explain it how I feel about this, other than to say that it's like my lover has cheated on me, but all I can think is how much I love them and how much I'm hurt by their actions. . . but, I still love them so much.
All I have to say is that Reinventing Axl Rose was written quite a while ago. It is a song that represents who they were then and at that moment. And if you look at Up the Cuts and Piss and Vinegar, you can't say you didn't see this coming. The signs were all there.
The description of Against Me! on mtv.com kind of shows that, though the executives know what their exposure will do to the band's fan base, they'll put them on TV anyway, saying it's all for the good of music. It's upsetting to say the least, but I refuse to cry "sellout." This is definitely different, but as long as they stay personal to the fans and continue to play amazing music, I'll continue to love them.
Against Me! is somewhat a measure of judgment for me. If I'm wearing one of my AM! hoodies and someone comes up and compliments me on it, then they are familiar with that band, a not very popular band that I love, automatically making them kickass. AFI used to be the same thing, until they were on MTV for Girl's Not Grey and Miss Murder, then everyone would come up to me and compliment my shirts or hoody, saying they liked, "that one song they had on MTV," automatically making them a fan. I just don't want this to happen with Against Me!
However, if I ever, EVER, catch Tom Gabel decked out in bling and rapping in a car on hydraulics with Lil' Jon, it's over.
Not that I don't like Lil' Jon, but, you know what I mean.
