Today was a fasting day. I sat and watched Fianna, Theo and Eliot eat their apparently delicious evening meal while drinking Badoit.
I then called Louis (Its always Parents who call - see blog #32) to see how he is doing in his job hunting. No, don't worry, this blog is not about youth unemployment! At the end of our skype conversation I saw that Louis was preparing to go for a smoke, which is what I will talk about (1 point to Louis for giving me a subject). Actually I don't have much to say about actual smoking, we all know it's not particularly healthy, it makes your breath and clothes smell and it costs you the hard earned cash your parents give you every month...But for some reason it feels cool (especially when you're young). Having smoked myself for 10 years I do remember that I enjoyed holding a cigarette, blowing smoke and generally feeling like Clint Eastwood in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. But, what I don't understand is young people who now smoke electronics. I thought youth electronic problems had to do with screens and smartphones (subject for a future blog), but it seems I'm wrong. I was reading about Juuling, which is the latest youth fad, its an e-cigarette that looks like a long flat USB key. So it's still unhealthy (just a bit less), it still costs money, it still smells of some strange flavour and .. it makes you look like a computer! What is the point of that?

Damn ,that Louis really should stopping. I’d be interested in seeing a blog on youth unemployment though, maybe you can use that subject for a next time (since you mentioned it yourself, I don’t think this subject suggestion would count for the contest btw).
