It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Hobby and Living Know Best
When you put your life and hobbies together do you think that the two of them know best? If so, how can this happen for you and the way that you live life by doing the hobbies you enjoy. So put the hobbies that you enjoy into the way that you live your life, when you do this you will get the most out of your life. The more you put your hobbies and life together the more living you will do. The summer is a great time to do hobbies especially when you do hobbies on a holiday. As today is a holiday in Canada and in four days there is a holiday in the U.S.A holidays are great days to do more hobby-ish things. Yes I just made that up. But it got you to read it didn’t it? Yes it did. When you put your hobbies and life together have you ever wondered how it knows best when it comes to doing the hobbies that you enjoy the most? It knows best because it gives you everything you are looking for in the way you do the hobbies and how you feel doing them. You feel great doing the hobbies, and you will get so much more out of them when you do them. Put your life into the way you do your hobbies and see what happens? Do the things that help you relax but give you something to look forward to in life, that is what hobbies and living is all about and how the two know best when they come together. The way that hobbies and life can go together, is putting the way you live your life in with your hobbies. When you put the hobbies in your life in the way you live your life, you will see that hobbies and living when done together they know best.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Hey Paul! Another really cool format here, I was actually thinking about trying to do something with more choices and interactivity in my next choose your own adventure, so this is really inspiring!
Ah the memories.
Well, I didn't choose. I read the whole thing. Reading it again and choosing. I chose the axe, let's continue. Such fun.
And so it begins.
This has promise!
Despite refusing to choose in the other story, this one is fun and reminds me of books I read as a kid! I bought them for my kids. They always loved them. Looking forward to the next part :)
Awwwwwww! Too little. We need more.
I like this interactive story type thingy. And I don't have to say what I chose. You know me, lol!
