4-20

I am an ex-stoner. I say "ex" mostly because I am broke, I hang out with a very different crowd now, and because my job does random tests. I have never, and would never, go to work high, and most of the time I don't miss my friend MJ at all.

But damn I miss her in the summertime when the sky is clear and the beer is cold.

When I mentioned to Jason late last night that he should write a blog post about the fact that today was April 20th (4-20) I never thought he'd go for it. He did. But with a totally different point of view on the day than I have. You can read that here. I love this day for a few reasons and just wanted to say so. So...here's my list.

• It lets me know that it is almost summertime.
• I know I would not be the person I am today had I not inhaled.
  
• It makes me sit up and enjoy the bright green springing to life all around me.
• It brings to mind memories of other times and places that make me smile.
  
• It makes me wish people would realize all who partake are not the same.
• I love reggae. It is the one music that always makes me shake my ass and forget my troubles.

...and on that note, here's a little something for you. Celebrate this day, and every day!
