Im not trying bash on peoples lifestyles here, its just all i hear (and not just on LJ but people here at school as well) is horror stories from drinking. situations such as massive amounts of drama and bullshit and these things would be avoided if alcohol wasnt involved in some cases. i dont get it. but again im not critizing you.
as far as the cigarettes go, i started like 4 years ago to "be cool" around some people who i jammed with, and it lead to an everyday habit. been trying to quit but as some of you smokers know its not easy to quit.
arnt there other ways of loosening up that doesnt render your judgements or your sensibility?
Ofcourse there is. Some people choose drinking, smoking, or doing wutever as an alternative to avoid being real. If people say that they are themse;ves when they engage in such activities then they are lying to ur face. People put up a front cuz in a sense they are afraid of themselves and maljudgement. There are other ways to loosen up. It just depends on how far out u want to go.Dancing, singing, or showin off my talents gets gets my adrenalin rushing. Ur a musician and u can use that to your advantage. U could play ur guitar infront of a crowd of people and u may be tense at first been then ur gonna get this boost of confindence that no substance could get u and then u'll be awsomely happy and in a sense forget about ur worries. Hope it helps

Also to add on to that, doin extreme things like sky diving or just extreme sports even dirt biking can get u high, sounds insane but its the truth. Dont think im lame or n e thing, but im speakin the truth..its a fun and healthy way to get ur adrenaline goin which is why most people use substance to begin with. U could try boogie boardin or surfin u got the waves down there lol.
lets see i cant afford any of that shit and who has time to just go skydiving or buy a dirtbike and somehow haul it to somewhere where i can ride it? some people have fulltime jobs.
its easier to buy a 6 pack adn hang out with my friends
I think when people get upset by others inability to cope with their own problems, thusly turning to alochol and drugs, I don't think they are upset by the fact that these people do drink and do drugs, I think they just care. I would like to think that there are people in this world who care about others, weather they know them or not. I would also like to think that we all still have a right to freedom of speech without getting ripped apart by those who don't agree. So to everyone who is upset by what John or Adam has said, please understand that although they feel one way, you might not feel the same. They are not bashing you or insulting you on purpose...they are merely stating that they don't agree with people who do these things to forget their problems, or people who do it to seem cool. At least that's what I'm gathering. I am not adverse to people who drink to relax, I don't agree with doing drugs to relax. But not everyone feels the same way I do...and I respect that.
i know a lot of people have already commented but for some reason i felt the need to because i'm glad i'm not the only one who ever thought about that question. i read people's entries and wonder if they have anything better to do sometimes. i'm not saying that they shouldn't do what they do, after all it is their life and not mine, but i wonder if they think it makes them look cool in the eyes of others because they never seem to talk about anything else. personally i find it doesn't make them seem cool. bragging about getting drunk every night just seems played out by now. if thats what you do, then great, but telling everyone on LJ about it every other day gets very annoying when all the stories end up the same.
