(This reaction will no doubt please the folks over at Baggage Carousel 4 while causing those who listen closely as well as the newly outed DCLush to, at the very least, roll their eyes at me...)
I occassionally listen to the pop radio that is marketed to my demographic. In the Metro rag Express (a.k.a. Post lite), I read yesterday that Jazon Mraz publicly stated that smoking makes him happy.
And you know what? The moment I read that, I actually felt myself starting to really dislike his music grow. And this grew exponentially as time went on. Now, I'm actually looking forward to turning to a new station when I hear "Curbside Prophet" come on the radio again -- and I kinda sorta liked the ditty at one point (the first 28 times I heard it in a single car ride).
Somehow, New Order's constant, unabashed use of heroin and Rufus Wainwright's confession of rampant drug use don't bother me. But Mraz's public joy he's felt he needs to express for his cancer sticks? That annoys me.
Or perhaps makes me realize just how annoying he really is.
Funny, eh?

smoking is a common form of self-medication among the mentally ill, so it's quite possible that smoking literally does make mraz happy.
For now its cheaper than prozac [or a gallon of gas for that matter], so I too can say smoking makes a reasonable effort at making me happy. Do you like me less as a nephew? :)
No, *cough*, I still love you. *giggle*
