Pornography, Addiction, Dallas

Contrary to what the post title implies, you will not develop a porn addiction simply by being in Dallas.

You will, however, feel completely at home within 2 hours if you’re like me. I love it here.

Mom, don’t take offense to that – it’s not like HOME-home, of course. I’m just saying I’m comfortable; moreso than at any time in the 5-6 years in Los Angeles.

That I’ll have to go back there makes me a little sad, but such is life.

Anyway, I’ll get into the specifics of Dallas after I get a couple more days in, and am assured this isn’t just a 1 day tease.

For now, I want to talk about this awesome thing I heard about on religious talk radio, which is all I could pick up for awhile after El Paso.

(Note to those who are heavily religious – I’m probably about to offend you. And if you haven’t guessed my religious affiliation by now, you aren’t an astute reader.)

Anyway – after the lady who had gotten an abortion came on and asked if there were any ways she could punish herself here on Earth before her eternal punishment in hell, there was a great commercial (sponsored by Catholic.com, no less) advertising a pamphlet called “12 Ways to Beat Pornography Addiction”.

Now, I may be a simple person, or perhaps I’m a little too much of an Objectivist, A=A, black/white person, but I have written a similar pamphlet that I’m giving away for free, right here in the next sentence:

Stop watching porn.

I have a similar program for all you smokers who are trying to beat your addiction:

Stop picking up cigarettes, putting them in your mouth, and lighting them on fire.

Having just finished my road trip, I’m re-addicted to energy drinks, which means I’m back on my program to kick those:

Drink 17 of them before noon, giving myself a level 3 heart attack, requiring medical attention but not an actual trip to the hospital. Bask in the memory of how delicious they were.

See? Life is so easy if you simply allow it to be.

And those religious talk shows are great stuff. I’m usually a Jim Rome guy for podcast/gym listening, but I may switch over to all-God, all-the-time.

My favorite part was the guy’s answer to where the concept of purgatory came from, and his answer was, “Well, that’s just simple logic and reason”.
