Sadly, the world is becoming less rational by the minute which may mean I need to revise some of my self deprecating thoughts.
I used to think of it as mostly "sad" too...but in actuality, it has helped in reducing my 'self depreciating thoughts' through rationalization, which I no longer need to rationalize.
Oh...and by the way...Are you smoking 100's? Look for 120's if you can find them there...they exist. Maybe cigars? They're longer...so you can either make more laps around your circle, or expand the radius :>)
