Top 5 most ludicrous things i've witnessed this month as of right now...

<br />
Well, nothing major blogwise...i'm just trying to make sure that i keep things moving and keep in touch with the people in my life, soooo without further adieu, 5 crazy azz things i've witnessed recently that I think y'all will find funny...<br />
<br />
5.) Milwaukee drivers<br />
- We haven't gotten much rain lately, and people in MKE drive like douchebags anyway; so when we got nice little storm over last weekend...i found myself witness to several accidents (6 to be exact) between Glendale and Waukesha.&nbsp; All of which were caused by people in raggedy azz automobiles doing 70+mph on the highway in traffic.&nbsp; Slow it down people!<br />
4.) Vagina's @ weddings...<br />
- Ladies, i know y'all don't want panty lines in that skin tight dress that you lost 10 lbs just to squeeze into for your cousin's wedding reception...but, remember...now that you weigh all of 95lbs your alcohol tolerance will suck based on your weight.&nbsp; Though the dj (i.e. ME) doesn't mind stellar commando cameltoe viewing angles during the cha cha slide, Im sure your family does not.&nbsp; Pictures are worth a thousand words, and trust me there are a lot of cameras and/or videographers at weddings.<br />
3.) Toddler almost drowning at lakefront...<br />
- Well, somebody's parents felt necessary to let their 3-5 yr old wade into Lake Michigan whilst they chatted together about 30-40 ft. away. &nbsp;Pandemonium ensued when the two people realized that hey, where the heck is my kid? Oh yea, floating face down in the water as the tide takes her out to sea. &nbsp;People please, watch your children.<br />
2.) Bad calls by NBA referee's...<br />
- C'mon, all I got to say is if Westbrook is damn near going to the hoop every time in a game that he scores over 40 points and only getting to the line 2-3 times and then you see Lebron getting breathed on and getting fouls...hmmm, come on NBA!?<br />
1.) Cheetos Commercial...</span><br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"I can still see you..."<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "Yes, we know"<br />

My e-cig: My journey of "healthy" addictions...

Nice short awesome blog.  Recently a co-worker recommended a certain e-cigarette; one out of many that he had did research on, so I figured I hadn't had much to lose.  Things have been going fairly well in my life so I guess the next thing on my agenda is to work on my health.  So, here are the vitals on the e-cig that I chose that's been helping me keep off of tobacco.

Company: South Beach Smoke
Types of E-Cigs: Deluxe and Premium (I have the Deluxe, which needs no maintenance other than charging the battery.

Pros: 
- BBB (Better Business Bureau) accredited business with an A- rating as of right now.
- 10 Flavors 
- Low Mainentance
- Vapor, no tar and crap from tobacco in here

Cons:
- Though the cartridges last a few days (for me), I don't think they last as long as the website says they do.

Now, I'm letting people know up front, I'm no scientist.  So, I am not by any means saying this is an end all be all way to quit cigarettes or that it is a risk free alternative.  I did my research online and in the library and learned about the effects that Nicotine has on the body.  My concern really lies in making sure that I'm eliminating the majority of garbage that is in tobacco related cigarettes.

So, as of today, I have been smoke free for about 2 weeks now.  Honestly, for me the e-cigarette helps me get rid of the craving that I have to smoke in my car.  I started smoking in my car while I was in college at UWM, so it gave me a cleaner alternative to smoking in my car when I'm on my way to DJ over the weekends.  So, at the end of the day, I really would recommend this company to someone that wants to try e-cigarettes as a healthier alternative to smoking.  It may not help you stop smoking but it did reduce the urge for me,  the flavors are good that the vapor is very close to the sensation that you get from smoking regular cigarettes.  So, if you're looking to stop soon, check out the www.southbeachsmoke.com site.  I give it my seal of approval.

If you guys have any questions about my personal experience with e-cigs, feel free to message me and i'll reply.
