Hookah Bar!!!
« on: October 09, 2007, 04:35:48 AM »
I've got a job at the hookah bar!!
It's bad ass!!
Course I'm kinda a social animal.
It'll take some time but I'll have the money for my GED, and then I can go to the Marines.
(after I fulfill the requirements of my probation)

By the way!
My Probation.
9 months terminable probation
Community Service
Mental Health Assessment and counseling.
Have and Keep a Job

As soon as I have it all done.
I can go tell the judge to terminate my probation and I'm off to the Marines!!!

9 months, not too bad.  My bro just got 5 years probation for vandalism.  Just make sure you go over the top in trying to follow their guidelines.   You don't want to give them any excuse at all to hold you back.

Watch out for the second-hand smoke. I hear that stuff is bad for you.

While probably repeated exposure to it from working there is gonna have its effects, I think the occasional hookah use is perfectly okay.  :D  Much better than a cigarette, at least.

Well the stuff you smoke is molasses, fruit flavoring, and tobacco.

This is just to get money for my GED, so I can go to Teleperformance, and get a better job.

Teleperformance = $7.50 for training, $10.00 starting wage, 3 month raise to $15.00

Plus I'm gonna really be practicing parkour.
It's been killing me that I can't
So I'm gonna go play on the trees I can run up all of them.
So it's good wall run practice.
and good for coordination.
And creativity, but I'm not brave enough to jump from branch to branch.
Blane ur my hero. lol
Just another obstacle to overcome.

Animus, it would probably be safer to actually just smoke a cigarette once in a while than to smoke a hookah. The reason is because the cigarette is tobacco just like in the hookah, but when you take a drag off a cigarette, you don't take huge lungfuls in, and hold it, letting out billowing white clouds of smoke laced with burnt sugar. With a cigarrette, you only take small puffs. It feels less harsh with a hookah simply because the hot smoke gets cooled down when bubbling through the water, just like a bong. Anyone who happens to be reading this, please don't think I am actually promoting the smoking of anything. Lungs were made for oxygen, not smoke!

Eh, I used to smoke cigarettes the same way I smoked anything: fill lungs up completely, hold it, take in a gasp of air, hold it, then exhale.

But what I mean is that people don't generally smoke hookah very often.  Once every few months.  People smoke cigarettes much more often...  If I fall prey to my addiction again for a little while, it's normally a pack or three, not just one cigarette.. whereas I can go have a night with some friends at a hookah bar once a year without an issue of wanting to go back.

Hooka =  8)

But this isn't a thread about whether hookah's are good for you or not, it's about a fellow traceur going on the right path by serving his time to society and doing something great for the country! w00tsauce. I hope all goes to plan man!
