okay, i figured i should post actual writing instead of just youtube videos on here. sorry, but i can get completely lost on youtube, clicking one video after the next with something always striking my fancy. and yes, by something i mean kathy griffin videos. she's just so funny.
but seriously, how funny was that vid of the fat girl falling off the trampoline? and even funnier the mom yelling from the deck..."don't you try to do something fancy just..oh...ohhhhh....ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
i.died.
anyway, today's posting will be a rant. against whom? smokers.
now, i don't have many issues with the act of smoking. it's your choice. family members of mine smoke, friends of mine smoke, people smoke...i get it. i don't smoke, but, like i said, that's a personal choice. i could if i wanted to, just like you, but i don't.
however, here's my real beef: smokers who flick their "butts" into the street, sidewalk, gutter, dry, weedy california hillsides, anywhere and everywhere besides an actual trash receptacle of some or any sort...all of that flicking. all of those places. all those butts. everywhere. it's disgusting, it's illegal, it's disrespectful, and it's all around unnecessary.
and it has to stop. like...now.
just because you, smokers, can legally smoke tobacco does not mean that you can legally litter. this is my earth, too. leaving your cigarette remnants anywhere you god damn please is not cool with me and most of society. at all. actually, you should be embarrassed. i mean, i would be embarrassed if every time i ate a box of red vines (which is often) i just carelessly threw the plastic container onto the street without so much as even flinching. because, you know, no big deal...it's just trash. but you know someone somewhere would say something to me too. like..."you better fucking pick that up you asshole!"
someone needs to say that to you, and i'm that person: it's blatant disrespect for this common ground we call earth. stop it.
but for some insane reason, whenever smokers flick, drop, stomp, or whatever with their cigarette butts...does anyone say anything?
typically no.
so, smokers, do the world a favor. stop acting above the law, both the legal law and the moral law.
cigarette butts are trash. therefore they go into the trash. it's not that hard of a concept. and it's the law. in many cities, there are specifically-designated butt receptacles for you to place your nasty cigarettes into. how easy is that? it requires the most basic of neurons to accomplish. you can handle it.
so remember, the next time you stomp a ciggie, dispense of it properly.
thank you in advance for being a responsible adult. trust me, i know it's hard sometimes.
