I remember back when I was in school, my fellow smoking friends were always working on learning or teaching themselves "smoking tricks."... French inhales; smoke rings; snap inhales; even forming mushrooms and other shapes with their "clouds":... You know, all those lil things smoking n00bs do in front of others, in an effort to look "cool"...
I just wasn't with it! And they would relentlessly give me hell about it, too! I didn't care though. In fact, I preferred it- I literally WANTED someone to try and make themself look cooler than me, while showing off their smoking tricks. I would always let them have their little moment- after all, they worked hard for this!
But once they concluded their trick and received the praise they sought, and attention would be shifted toward me and my inability to do such a "trick," I was more than eager to offer my explanation- though I didn't dare let my eagerness be detected.... instead, just as nonchalant as could be, I'd hit 'em with something along the lines of,
"I'm a smoker, not a circus act. I lit this mf to smoke it, not to play games or put on a show. I'm gonna enjoy it. No practice, no put-on .. just me getting my fix... I'm definitely not struggling to maintain attention, no "tricks" necessary"
People always loved that lil speech; it's helped me drop a few jaws in my day. Probably helped me to drop some panties too?... (tell your girl I said whatsup) ;)
Back when I used to be cool. *Effortlessly* lol
But yeah, now I'm a boring ol' grown up ... so plz enjoy this visual I've created for you in my car- I broke down and taught myself how to blow smoke rings just for you ;) lol
