I am a person preoccupied with options... and dirt.
FAQ's
What is the Dirty Ballerina?
A: The Dirty Ballerina is a collection of words, drawings and meanderings that fell out of my head and onto a page. (In the real life paper version there will be things that fell out of other people's heads sometimes.)
Who is the dirty ballerina?
A: Me.
Why do you get to be THE dirty ballerina? What makes you so special?
A: Because I said so and because that's me in the tutu.
Do you even do ballet?
A: The last time I did ballet was when that picture was taken 22 years ago.
*I'm going to stop here before it gets ugly and say that everyone has a little dirty ballerina inside of them. The next time you pour coffee down the front of your fancy outfit or trip and fall in the mud stop for a minute and look at yourself. Are you laughing? There she is...
Thirty in Thirty
As an assignment to myself and to push myself to learn about deadlines I am writing a blog everyday for thirty days. The only requirement I have is that I cannot blog about blogging. Most of it may be crap but I'm doing it anyway, so there.
Just Remember
My grandma always says, never let the truth get in the way of a good story. I always say, the truth is better than anything you can make up. I also tend to listen to my grandma as she's pretty smart. So, if you pop up, or think you pop up in anything I write you might be right, but then again, you might be wrong. All memory is fiction essentially, right?

Just ... stop.
I've been trying to help a friend of mine quit smoking and it's not been an easy task. My advice is find a friend who won't easily get annoyed with you and call them every time you want to smoke, it'll take your mind somewhere else. My friend's doing pretty well and says it helps having someone on her side.
when you crave a cig eat oranges or clementines (npi) until the craving is gone.
if that does not help break all of your fingers...
I would suggest getting a nicotine patch tattoo!
BUN,
running...sport is always good. Playstation or xbox.
I know it`s hard!
Don`t use pills or a f...ing aid with chemie or whatever. Don`t read books how you can quit.
After one week without smoking go shopping and buy something just for you.
What really hard is... be with friends and they smoke.
Be strong...
Go for a hike. No really, start hiking, walking, running; any sport where your lung capacity is critical, just do it.
And if you can find a competitive ally, you'll work harder to beat their ass.
It worked for me and I've been (cigarette) smokeless for 6 years.
BLOG MORE! please...
all you need is "Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking"
I'm seriuos, it works, this book really works, i don't know how but i don't smoking anymore
a friend of mine said hypnosis (can't spell) worked for her.
Dude, really? I smoked WAY more than you and I quit. Remember that shit? Even you would bum out on how much I smoked. I know I am King Stubborn and all but it is something YOU need to do. You need to quit because you want to, not because someone else wants you to. Seriously, once I made up my mind it was easy. You have quit other things easily, you can do this too!
T.
That ashtray by your kitchen window? Get rid of it.
Please put gum or candy in a mouth for the change of the cigarette. And write a nonsmoking diary!
I once smoked a pack of Marly menthols in 2 hours and I somehow have stayed away from them for 6 years now. You seem like a strong person, put your mind to it. Dont let this addiction get the best of you. Stick to something more fun, like....Budweiser :)
Set this pic as your desktop wallpaper . . .

ive been smokeing since I was 14 and I am now 25, I was never a heavy smoker maybe 4 cigs a day and like a whole pack when a Drank, and i used to drink alot. Well I was forced to stop drinking and it helped me stop smoking. Plus have u seen that anti smoking commericial? the one with the heart valve with all that fatty build-up being sqeezed out of it? That commercial helped lot of my friends put the cigs down.
The kiss therapy. Sign a contract with your love. Each day without smoking you win a kiss and choose the place you want it. It could be a very interesting game ;-)
Take Wellbutrin; it is an anti-depressant that works on norepinephron receptors rather than seratonin (like SSRIs). It also helps increase your energy and decrease your appetite. It works best when combined with regular exercise, which I'm sure you get anyway.
but if you set that picture as your wallpaper, it will just make you think about how awesome it would be to have alligator skin lungs and might not help you quit smoking at all.
so did you manage eventually?
just curious - going through the same trial (and error) here...
btw: please WRITE (or share) more!!!
and whatever happened to that website...?
well whatever. tx for inspiring me.
this is a fantastic blog.
