There are times when I can empathize with a smoker’s craving. Sometimes I will not settle for anything less than a tall, cold glass of Coke. Caffeinated. Cold. Sugary. Goodness.

Just an hour ago after I ordered our ever-so-healthy pizza and garlic rolls for dinner, I went into the fridge to look for something to drink and realized that while we had a 2 liter of coke in the cupboard, there wasn’t one in the fridge. And I really wanted a coke. So I put some ice in the cup (something I don’t usually do), poured a glass, and savored the moment of giving into addiction. There are many days I don’t have any caffeine, so I’m not sure what kind of addiction it might classify as. Maybe it’s just a yearning. A yearning the won’t be sated with caffeine-free? Maybe.

    Hey speaking of… I smoked my first (anything) cigar tonight! It was crazy, call me sometime.

    Wow, see, fraternities really ~are~ evil. I always thought that was a joke.

    And don’t tell me it wasn’t for that, I won’t believe it.

    hahaha ok ok ok. So what if you can read my mind.

    I sometimes go to McDonalds acrross the road when on a long drive to have a large coke as I think nothing beats a ICE cold coke from the syrup taps.

    I’m just wishing I could have one in my house. I can’t believe you guys have Dr. P available at BK etc. over there!

    Hi,I’m a Chinese.I only want to know :areyou a American?

    I figure, as substance addictions go, Coca-Cola isn’t too bad of one to have.

    I finally kicked the crank tea habit I developed in Hangzhou (and for those of you that don’t know, it’s just a nickname, not actually tea brewed with methamphetamines).

    Wo shi mei gou ren. John he Colin ye shi mei gou ren. TheMole shi ying guo ren.

    Yes, we are all from the US.

    silently humming:
    ::and I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free::

    Yea,I’m proud to be a Chinses,too.
    I want to know have you ballot for the president?And the circs of general election
    .
    I wish you don’t ballot for bush.

    NO NO NO
    I’m sorry .not Chinses it’s Chinese

    Elections aren’t until November.. I assume you mean vote for president. So no, I haven’t voted yet.

    Why do you not want me to vote for Bush?

    Hmm. I wonder if characters will work in the comments…

    我们都是外国人。

    With the font the characters are going to be tiny, in any case.

    He (or she) probably doesn’t want you to vote for Bush for the same reasons that the Democrats don’t want you to vote for Bush: record deficit, needless wars, that sort of thing. Of all the Chinese I’ve met in my 13 months here, I’ve only met one that liked Bush, and that was because “if Bush was China’s president we would take care of the Taiwan problem tomorrow.”

    Ringing endorsement, that.

    Nope, guess the characters don’t work.

    Can’t you use Chinese?I saw the Chinese.
    what’s the name of this web?what you can do with the web?
    I don’t want to have the wars between China and U.S.A. aren’t you?
    I’m English is not very good. I hope you will understand.

    That Bush endorsement is hilarious. So was comment #10. I love the raw emotion “chinese” gives us there as he fixes what’s important.

    I wish that when we elect Kerry it would be for more than the fact that he is not Bush. I recognize that he was chosen from 10 or so other Democratic hopefuls, but I think that the democrats could have done much better. Of course, I also wish that Republicans got a primary this year too, but Bush would have likely won that anyway.
