Shadowy Addiction

Just a piece highlighting my worst addiction. =3

twit and HiroDaZero: People start smoking for a variety of reasons but primarily, smoking is a social accessory, it's used to "fit in" (at least initially). It's no surprise teenagers take to smoking so easily, it might as well be a trendy pair of shoes or pants (that gives you cancer).

As for smoking to relieve stress or to relax, this only applies to established smokers. A non-smoker under stress would not benefit from a cigarette because they are not addicted to nicotine yet. When a smoker is stressing out, they tend to chain-smoke because stress mirrors the physical feelings of nicotine withdrawal pangs. Anytime a smoker is smoking, they're merely relieving withdrawal pangs, regardless what the situation is. So think of it this way, smokers smoke just to feel normal, so they don't feel the withdrawal pangs anymore. Non-smokers have no withdrawal to deal with, they don't need nicotine in their systems to feel normal. It's a pretty straight forward addiction and quiting is far easier than it seems to be.

i def use it to manage stress and my nerves...though im currently trying to cut back... X)

Kloxboy (Oct 8, 2008)

mrwjinx: Cutting back is one of the worst things you can do, it just makes the withdrawal pangs worse and quitting even harder to achieve. You can find such information in the book "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr. :D

haha yeah, thats what i have been hearing and reading alot of lately. >.<

Franklin Raines

Axil62 (Oct 2, 2008)

Who Is Franklin Raines?
Franklin Rains is the former chairman and chief executive
officer of Fannie Mae, the government sponsored enterprise
started in 1939 to offer mortgages to Americans wishing to
become home owners. After serving as budget director under
President Bill Clinton, Mr. Raines served as CEO at Fannie
Mae from 2000 until 2004. While Mr. Raines was CEO, Fannie
Mae went deep into the practice of buying mortgages based on
almost no or no money down given to borrowers who could not
afford them. During this time he received bonuses and
salary over 90 million dollars. In 2004 he was offered
'early retirement' after the accounting practices used
at Fannie during his tenure to secure top executive bonuses
were shown to be fraudulent. Civil charges were filed
against Raines and two other former executives which sought
$110 million in penalties and $115 million in returned
bonuses from the three accused. On April 18, 2008, the
government announced a settlement with Raines
together with J. Timothy Howard,
Fannie's former chief financial officer, and Leanne G.
Spencer, Fannie's former controller. The three
executives agreed to p ay fines totaling about $3 million,
which will be paid by Fannie's insurance policies.
When pressed by the Bush administration to tighten down
regulations on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, members of
congress - Republicans and Democrats alike - in positions
to pass such regulations, did nothing. Today, Fannie Mae
owns or guarantees over half of America's 12 trillion
dollar mortgage market, and we are in the middle of a credit
crunch and housing slump brought on in large part by
government backed Fannie Mae going down this dangerous
credit slope under Mr. Raines.

And where is Franklin Raines today? He is a chief
economic advisor to the presidential campaign of Senator
Barack Obama.

I felt like looking at this once more.
I think it's the only abstract piece who ever brought tears to my eyes, and managed to do it twice.

I'm trying to understand what's so great in it, and I really don't know. But I really love it.

Dr.Moony (Sep 22, 2012)

@shults: honestly the comment I think back to the most.
It's cool to think that a painting can make someone tear up for a moment, especially since I never experienced it. Music is a stronger medium to me...I wonder why.

shults (edited Sep 22, 2012)

Nice to know.. :) It's not too often that sight amazes me in a good way, but it happened before, that I was so amazed and excited by a piece of art that I teared (it happened in museums, here, and by 'natural pieces of art' like the first time I saw a whale).

lori (Sep 22, 2012)

It's like a puzzle that I want to keep taking apart and putting back together again...and...it's beautiful!
