Where am I? I want to say I've skimmed through the book. I've read certain chapters more deeply. I'm in Detroit. My rent is 375. It will most likely stay that way in the coming year or two. I am a server assistant at a popular restaurant. I get 40-80 a night plus a 5-7 dollars an hour hourly pay depending on role of host or assistant. I eat out every single day. Living in an unfinished "artist loft" I've completely neglected the half kitchen my roommate makes a giant mess out of. Can't talk shit tho. I'm not perfect either in terms of clean.
Where am I going? Quitting cigarettes. I'm a pack a day smoker. But I keep getting reminded of the time my friend Yuma said to me "you can only address one thing at a time eh?" For some reason in regards to smoking, I feel this applies. The more things I do that aren't already embedded in my habits I.e. Use my brain intensely, the more chance I"ll buy a pack/kill myself. So that's what I'm doing today and that has led me here. Usually I'd be staring out my beautiful loft chain smoking and regretting but I haven't had a cig in 8 hours and I feel amazing at the moment. Haha.
thoughts:
Is there a Detroit ere squad?
thoughts about the further future in regards to financial things:
If possible, I would be much relieved to be at a half way point to ere. "Work" half as much as I would for given total income. Am curious to see how this thought evolves.
Thanks for reading.

Re: jkjimmy' journal
A pack a day, that's what, 3,000 dollars a year? Guess it'd be more or less depending on the state. Honestly, if I smoked, that price tag would probably motivate me to drop 'em more than the lung cancer/heart disease thing. Hope the journey to quitting goes well for you!
