taking a short break for a job

i have been smoking everyday since mid july, and now i need to cut back a little. i also am very open to suggestion on what to do while i am on a break, i am breaking for about 2 months as i need a job, and clean piss to go along with that job. so anyone have any suggestions on some hobbies, time consuming hobbies that would take up some time? i used to play WoW, but that takes up a little TOO much time. i need something that i could do for a hour or two at a time, a few times a day. i have considered about making a hardcore hemp necklace with emeralds and such gems, but as i dont have the money to pour on pricless gems, i havent a clue on what to do. so please hipforums.. pimp my sober time

 

i feel your pain homie. I'm on the same boat but, it looks like I can't smoke for a very long time cause the job I'm trying to get does randoms. to take my mind off trees I'm gonna play video games(instead of WoW try a console RPG they're not as deep) and train(muay thai, jiu jitsu, weights) and clubbing(your too young for that though). also alcohol might be a decent crutch but, i don't wanna turn into a lush. umm... poker is a good pass time. when I was in school I used to write and draw a whole lot and that passes the time by. oh yeah i forgot, Guitar Hero! that KILLS time! or you can try a real instrument.

 

haha... go for walks, to the library (look up like top 100 books of all time), bike ride, check out wierd parts of town, make crafts, reorganize your house , shit like that

 

hyphy: guitar hero 2...november 06.
wonderyboy has got the right idea. LIBRARY, read a book, take your mind on a wild ride from the words of classic authors. There are days when a good book can be more relaxing than a nice bowl.

 

read Donald Goines or Iceberg Slim. crazy ass shit!

 

i really liked george orwell as an author, but i cant find any authors like him. could anyone post the names of some authors possibly? because im totally down for reading, i just dont wanna read a dumb book. thanks

 

jose saramago blew me away, his book was the only one i actually read out of some 10 mandatory books in portuguese class in high school because i was bored in class one day and started reading and never stopped.
i'm sure you'll find his books in english because he's won a nobel prize and stuff though i don't know if the translation is any good. but it doesn't hurt to try..
he doesn't resemble orwell though. still an excelent author

 

i love translated books for some reason, more than untranslated generally speaking

 

kk, thanks, keep em coming please.

 

ill tell u 1 thing not to do, start thinking about weed, then feel sorry for yourself, then enter deep state of depression finnally becoming suicidal and ending the nightmare with a fat spiff..... deffenately dont do that

 

learn an insturment

 

lol!!!^

um some other stuff... go for long drives if you get bored (though its expensive), make card houses, buy a video game like civ iv or somethin, make a website about your fav thing (weed!), sell shit/buy shit on ebay, become obsessed with a movie or tv show series, or just rent like a bunch of old really super classic moveis and munch out... clean the house, rearrange your room (i said that already didnt i)... write poems, stories, play some instrument with a friend, look up the town/city even schedule where you live, see if anything mildly interesting is going on... check out that www.jambase.com ... take up a religion, meditate maybe, learn as much as you can about a random subject (people living in siberia how bout)

watch old really good comedy shows that used to be on comedy channel... like fuckin BUZZ... any of you canadians remember that? fucking AMAZING show...

 

^^^haha. jambase. good call wonder boy

 

lol

 

Aldous Huxley: Brave New World, very 1984 but with more drugs. Highly recommended

 

thanks twist

 

also read some of huxley's other stuff if you can... he has a book on the human condition that is pretty great
