What's your addiction.

Posted by Ras (Plano, United States) on 20 February 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.

Much of our lives is spent doing particular things that reach the addiction stage,and all we can do is just sit back and enjoy while we still can. Man has categorized some thing as good and some bad. Culture has to play a big part in what is deemed right or wrong in a particular place. Above is some of my habits now addictions, they are toothpick eating, writing and education. What are your addictions?

I great theme photo! Toothpick chewing! That is scary...my teeth would fall out! Mine drugs of choice at this moment are blogging (http://findingbeautyinmosteveryday.blogspot.com) and of course, photography!

@Tracey: Secret is to chew the toothpick for about an hour or longer, just as one would on a farm if they had a blade of grass. Good work on your blogs.

Do you have papers that cover your walls? A writer huh? Thanks for the glimpse into your world of addictions...But I prefer passions as Lorraine has termed them. The tooth pick chewing...Interesting to say the least;)

Great collage!

@Katie: No walled paper, too much texture on the walls. Just the table I work on. Do you know the word passion has no appeal, it feels un-eye catching. Tooth picks are like another mineral :)

Nice idea for a photo subject...I must say that my addictions are many, but the main good ones are 'running', 'eating healthy food' and 'sleeping', but these are offset by 'enjoying lots of real ale after a good run', 'going to bed too late to get enough sleep', and 'an unhealthy love of all the foods I really shouldn't eat'. I suppose it all balances out in the end.

@Richard_Irwin: It does balance out. I agree on the ale after a run, makes it all worth it. Thank you for sharing.

o have you ever had those cinnamon toothpicks?
You'd love them. my "addiction" is chocolate. Even
if it is a little square, I like to have some every day.

@Seraphine: I have had the cinnamon toothpicks, but just like the mint ones they come on too strong, and in the end taste more of flavored oil, so i eat them for a short while before it gets the oil taste .
