Getting It All Back Together
Posted on July 28, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood | 1 Comment
Wow! It’s been a really great summer. I suppose I should say it was a really great summer, ’cause mine’s over now. It started early (with the trip to Hard Rock Park’s opening in May) so I suppose it’s only fair that it end early as well. Tomorrow Z boards a plane to visit my mother for two weeks, then…
Smoking Screwup
Posted on May 1, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
Last night (Wednesday) I straight up forgot to put on my new patch. I remembered after I was already in bed, but decided that getting up to change my patch wouldn’t be any better than getting up to have a cigarette. This morning I woke up without the desire to smoke. Around 11am my arm started to itch and I…

Posted on April 27, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
As I type this message I will be passing the one week (7 days / 168 hours / 10080 minutes) mark since I last smoked a cigarette. And all I want to know is where are the benefits?!? Last night Z and I went out for a seafood dinner. Neither my senses of taste nor smell seemed any better then the…
72 Hours Tobacco Free - An Apology
Posted on April 23, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
I passed the 72 hour mark without smoking a cigarette a few short minutes ago. Overall today was definitely easier than yesterday. But it still had its challenges.
The morning started with the return commute to San Jose to finish getting Rover smogged (I promise to post my rant on this tomorrow), but this time I hit major traffic. After being essentially parked…
Approaching 48 Tobacco Free Hours - Getting Edgy
Posted on April 22, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
With my weight loss deadline looming a mere 15 days away I decided to up the ante a bit and stop smoking as well. Note that I did not say “I’m trying to quit smoking again” or anything like that. I was very specific: I have stopped smoking.
While returning fro dropping off Z on Sunday I knew the time had…
Another Hidden Tobacco Tax - Surety Bonds
Posted on November 5, 2007 - Filed Under Taxes | Leave a Comment
As a long time smoker, the issue of tobacco taxes has always been of interest to me. I’ve written here before about how I avoid all tobacco taxes and save huge amounts of money as a result. However, I just today learned about another hidden tax on tobacco that we seldom hear about: Cigarette Tax Bonds.
According to JW Bond Consultants, a…
Quitting Journal - 12 Hours
Posted on September 26, 2007 - Filed Under Aahz | 1 Comment
Over the last couple of months I’ve been increasingly distressed over the amount of control my 30 year cigarette habit has had over my life.? I’m not stealing car radios or snatching old ladies’ purses to pay for? my habit, but I have been doing things I’d rather not be doing and thinking about my next smoke way too much.?…
Applied Anarchy - One Way I Legally Avoid Taxes
Posted on August 16, 2007 - Filed Under Living Free, Shopping, Taxes | Leave a Comment
The only thing I hate more than government itself is them stealing my hard earned cash in order to fund themselves. But I’ve found a way to avoid paying around $400 per year in taxes.
