Been there done that. Its a powerful position to be in when you catch up with old friends.
'DUDE! you havent EVER done that??!!! You kidding me right??!'
'Yah man! I used to do it all the time...but now I'm learning to abstain.'
It's very surprising to think how things, that have been proven bad, are always cool. And its cooler to have done it and quit it. That increases the power multifolds. Coz you have conquered the vice inspite of it trying very hard to get you!
Ah what the hell...we all do it all the time.
Its always cool to show off vices...just like its cool to have latest gadgets, to talk about rock concerts, specially if you have the extra dope on some obscure band whose popularity never rose above a couple of basement junkies.
There are of course more innocent motives behind vices, like actually liking it. But that, one person does and a hundred pretend to like it coz they think this one person defines what's cool. And following her gets u in her league.
Guess its always been like this and will continue to be so till the day non-conformity becomes the latest fad.
Anyway after having made no point at all, I blame my long lost friend for this post, coz this ranting was triggered by a discussionI had with him...
