Smoking starts as a mistake. I remember how I started smoking. Two mistakes not just one!

When I started smoking I must've been at least 14 or 15 years old, a highschool freshman. I just couldn't help but think that smoking would add to an appearance of masculinity or rather machoism to be specific. However up until I was 18, I never really smoked. I was merely puffing the smoke out; I never inhaled!
Now with my first year in Kuwait University.. I made the second mistake of inhaling. I wasn't a smoker then.. I mean I never inhaled before so I wasn't addicted to it. So I became a smoker.

It starts as a mistake, but when it becomes a habit it's no longer a mistake but rather a part of your daily life that you grew accustomed to eventually. I personally need to have a cigarette in my mouth when I'm depressed, happy, tired or energetic. When I'm relaxing in a cafe reading a book, I cannot imagine the taste of coffee or tea without a good inhale from a good marlboro. When I mean I can't.. I actually mean I can't.

I remember I once turned the lights of my room off, and sat next to my window which overlooks the neon-lit street. I couldn't imagine a cigarette could have a better taste than that of a depressed man overlooking a neon-lit street.

I'm in Iranian music season now. I began accessing the Iranian Music folder in "My Music". Looking in the Windows Media Players library for the many CD's I ripped and forgot about. One CD I love is The Tree of Life, a collection of instrumentals by the best of the best masters of Iranian music. I should leave in less than an hour to run some errands then I'm heading to Salmiyya to buy some Iranian CDs. I can't hold it.. I want more music! Shahram Nazeri, Asghar Bahari and maybe Shajarian. Problem is... I HATE THE SALESMAN.. he keeps insisting that I listen to what he recommends of stupid modernized traditional music. I know why I'm here.. I'm here to buy so-and-so and that's it! I once spent a whole hour listening to music I don't like.. he was abit annoyed to find that I, after an hour of listening to almost every CD in the store, decided still to buy the one I came in to buy in the first place. But he never stops!

What do you think...
How come streets in Kuwait are named after every royalty in a neighboring country?

I'm not into pop-culture politics.. like the Orange thing going around. But if those people would change that about Kuwait.. I'm Orange!
When I can drive in streets named after people whom I respect. When I see that everyone despite their financial, social or political state are as respectful of the law as those who "ma 3nduhum '6ahar".
