I Don't Know Who Jackie Is, But Tell Her To Holla At Me
“Do you know why I pulled you over?”
“Was I speeding?”
“…You were speeding, you were tailing people, you were diving in and out of traffic. At one point, I clocked you doing 110 mph.”
“Yeah… I’m sorry about that.
Just happy you didn’t see me when I was pushing 120+mph…
That’s the summation of a recent conversation I had with a State Trooper after he caught me barreling down a highway. In case you haven’t noticed, I like to go fast. In my car, in life, whatever. Speed is the name of the game. I like rolling down the windows to feel the air blasting through. I like cranking up my music to drown everything else out. Most of all, I like tuning out, concentrating on the road, guiding the wheel with care and hearing the engine purr as I blow by cars on the highway. Dangerous? Yes. But it clears my mind and let’s me be free if even for a few minutes. I usually do it when I’m alone in the car and there’s not that many people on the road. Not that it makes it any better.
Driving fast is a vice of mine. A highly expensive one. When I’m caught that is. I may have to chill out on treating the local highways as if they’re the Indy track until I can pay off this speeding ticket. I’m actually just happy he didn’t take my handsome ass to jail. Were you aware that anything over 85 mph on certain highways is an arrestable offense? Well now you know. And if you’d like to chip in for this brief, but enlightening, tutorial, please buy a t-shirt or undies by clicking on the link below the header. No, seriously. This speeding ticket is monstrous.
After gawking at the high price of my dubious actions, pulling off the shoulder and shaking off my near arrest, I started to think about why the hell I was speeding at 120 mph. And cruising at a humble 72mph also gave me a lot of time to think about what else I sometimes overindulge in. After all, no one has just one vice. That would be lonely and narrow minded. You have to mix it up a little bit. Can’t be a sex addict all the time. Sometimes you have to drink too. Or pop a pill, smoke some trees, look at YouPorn, order a hooker off Craigslist; I don’t know what you do, I’m just listing off things I’ve heard from other people.
Me? I don’t have an addiction to one particular thing. I can’t be bogged down to just smoking or drinking or gallivanting with women. No sir. Any person that knows me will tell you I like to be put in a box as much as baby likes to be in the corner. I keep my interests broad and as a result my other vice is fun.
See to me fun is a treacherous, but enticing broad that seems to always get me out of being idle and into some trouble. You ever hear Jay Z’s song, “Allure”? Kind of like that except I don’t go back to hustling. I usually find myself back in some dive bar ordering some Patron. Or at some high priced lounge drinking some Patron. Or in a woman’s apartment gassed up off of Patron. Or wandering the streets of a city slightly drunk off Patron. You get the point. And fun always seems to be right there. As a partnership, it works well. Except when that bill comes. All of a sudden fun is nowhere to be found, I’m drowning in receipts and my bank account is as barren as A.C. Green’s bed side. Not to mention I wake up the next morning wondering what happened and having to live my life through pictures. And then immediately asking people not to post them on Facebook. Not good for business.
But I’ll never give up on speeding or fun. I just need to find a happy medium. Shoot, the only reason I went into my current career is because it’s fun. I like living my life because it’s fun. My peoples are fun. Shoot, my family is fun. What else is there to live for? But there’s got to be some middle ground between doing a buck on your local parkway and driving at a measely 55 mph. Or stumbling into my house reeking of Tequila and being sober Sally drinking a ginger ale. I have a feeling that the answer won’t be as easy to find as fun, but when I do find it, I’ll let you know.
In the meantime, I’m keeping things light and lovely today. What are your vices? What do you wish you could put to the side for a few? And what are you currently in rehab for?

i used to drive fast also for the fun of it. in college i got a ticket for driving 92 (i slowed when i saw him so it was closer to 110) in 45mph zone. after that i toned it down a little.
i would say that my vice now would be drinking. anyone that knows me well knows that vodka (stoli, ketel one, goose, ciroc) is my drink of choice. i wouldn’t really say that i have any other vices.
Reply
Man, I’m right there with you. What you pushin’ that’s got you cruising at 120 mph though? Any mods? I’m a speed junkie too. The tickets were adding up until I figured out a few ways of avoiding them
(http://www.ferrum26.net/2009/02/pig-spotting-how-to-avoid-speeding-tickets-part-1/ ), talking my way out of them (http://www.ferrum26.net/2009/02/bad-cop-no-donut-how-to-avoid-speeding-tickets-part-2/ ), and beating them in court (http://www.ferrum26.net/2009/08/objection-your-honor-how-to-avoid-speeding-tickets-part-3/ ). Having an out of state license definitely helps too (for insurance purposes).
I think the only other vice I really have is an intolerance for boredom. Drama sort of gets created around me when I get bored. Not a good look, but it’s better than tedium. Oh, that and scotch. By the way, if you’re a Patron head, try Conquistador. You won’t regret it.

Unless the old lady I bought it from suped it up for her drives to the grocery store, I have a stock Honda Accord. Nikki and I have just become so attune to each other I can get her horses going pretty quickly. Yes, my car’s name is Nikki. Like a stripper. I know everyone had her, but she’s special to me dammit!
I wouldn’t call myself a Patron head, I just happen to find myself in trouble when I do drink it. It’s inevitable, like death, taxes and some Lindsay Lohan showing her vagina. But I will be trying Conquistador to see what lands I will conquer with a result. Good looks!

I used to have quite the lead-foot. Even now, if I’m on a road trip and think I can get away with it, I’m known to turn up the music, roll down the windows and fly.
Now this next one: I used to get nervous when things went too smoothly in my life. So I would do whatever to make sure I hit highs and lows. I guess drama was my vice. Looking back, I realize that I assumed things were going to go really bad or really well so I accelerated them in those directions. Yeah, that wore me out rather quickly. I like living life on the plateau now, gentle slopes instead of peaks and canyons.
Had a shoe vice for a minute. Probably still in stiletto rehab. And now it’s boot season. I sense a relapse coming on.

My vice is chocolate….cake, ice cream, candy…..men. I have to have chocolate every day in some way shape or form.

I have quite the feather-foot actually. I would cry like a camel if I got pulled over.
But nothing… nothing… nothing in the world feels better than shopping. If I have had a bad day or I am pissed at the world, I will more than likely find my way to the mall. Or go apartment hunting. Antique shopping. Eyeglasses shopping. Oh-I’ve-Never-Been-Here-Before Shopping….
Its not about whether I need it. Its whether I want it. Is it different and do I have enough room on all my credit cards to afford it? If variety is the spice of life, shopping is my kitchen cabinet.

My biggest vice is speed. During the warmer months people notice I’m a lot calmer and cooler headed because I get to ride the bike and stints of 120 or so help calm me down. So I can definitely understand your passion for speed.
My former second biggest vice was watches. I love certain wrist watches and had a nice collection going on. I had a collection of almost up to 30. I would buy watches to mark certain times in my life, that was until someone broke into my house and stole a good portion of them.
I guess my new vices are booze and sex. As long as I can have both, I’m happy. The rest of my life is balanced out so I need something to tip the scales from time to time.
Since winter is coming, I may need to replace my PS3 and get some games. I wonder when that new Hitman game is coming out? Hmmm.

Homie, that’s the exact reason I keep myself away from bikes. I know I’d be flying down various highways, dipping around traffic and coming close to killing myself not so softly. I would like to drive on an official track though. That’s one thing I have to do before my last call.

It’s Richmond International Raceway. I understand they have a road course down there as well.
The thing about riding a road bike down there is that you have to make so many modifications for it.
There are also track schools that you can look up. I keep saying one year for my birthday I’ll do it.
For the winter months I’ve found an alternative, kart racing. There is an indoor track up here as well. So, I’ll be broke driving around there.

I agree, wholeheartedly, and as much as I cannot.stand Diddy he was trying.
Girl groups (especially) make money, they just can’t EVER stay together…
Everyone wants to be Beyonce because they think “why go through the group b.s. when I can just go solo now…” What they miss is that Destiny’s Child was always a well orchestrated plan by the Matty Knowles machine (I don’t care for him either, but I do respect his gangsta). Go back and check those early interviews and check how Kelly did all the talking, not Bey. Bless her heart, she’s come a long way with her speaking abilities. She was not a complete solo package yet, her daddy peeped that and her daddy created a cocoon for her to grow in.
Truth is, almost EVERY major (read: successful) solo artist started in a group of some sort, even if it was a small group in their hometown, or a group with a deal who never released a record (a la Pink or Missy….)
I give Aubrey O’Day and D. Woods another 6 months before they start really regretting not being in Danity Kane anymore… them hoes jumped ship way to effin early…

And I’m addicted to sweet & sour candy. I just love the way they shock ur mouth (pause) on first impact, and then gently sooth the more you suck (pause). Every time I get on the wagon, my fellow addict (who will rename mainless) tweets about binging on Sour Patch Kids and I immediately experience withdrawal, run to the nearest bodega, and grab the first pack of SPK, Brite Crawler worms, or any other tiny tangy candy that will satisfy my fix, and open it immediately in the store aisle and commence digestion. Damn you, Slim Jackson, damn you.
Sike, I think my vice is probably various internet sites such as fb, twitter, 3 ways, gchat, etc. I realize this when I get home frm work and immediately rush to the computer after a long day of being involuntarily rehabbed by the man. Or when I walk through Best Buy and gently carress the monitors as I walk by the computer section (and shudder).
Other than that, I think I tend to stray from things I know I could potentially develop an addiction to (like sex… though I’m slowly breaking down due to severe, severe withdrawal like Whitney Houston on a deserted island with no plant life). I don’t know how much longer I can last. I have a lot of addictions in my family (coupling with mental disease) so I try to keep myself in check (except for SPK… First they’re sour, then they’re sweet!!!)

I don’t know if speeding is a vice as much as just what I do. I don’t know why… I’ll be cruising along, thinking I’m doing pretty good… maybe 70 in a 65, nothing dangerous, only to glance down and see I’m doing 85! ::shrug:: I seriously do not know how to do less than about 60, anywhere. So driving through VA to get home, for me, sucks majorly… those state troopers do.not.play Maybe it’s because I like feeling like a superior driver, or something… I don’t know… but it is a problem.
As for vices…
Technology. Man, I could spend hours in Best Buy or Circuit City just playing with the gadgets. I love buttons and I love to push buttons (pause). I’ve had a new cell phone every calendar year since 2005 and if you ask me, I’m slow on the uptake. I’m feenin for a new iPod (had this one barely a year) and don’t think I don’t keep up with when the new whatchamacallit will be out. If I can plug it up and turn it on, I needs ta have it.
I don’t really think I have too many more vices. I like to drink and have a good time, but I’m also just as ready to be sitting on the couch by myself with a good book or a movie. ::shrug:: Everything in moderation — I think I have a thing about participating in things that many people become addicted to, and being able to show that I have control… ::side eye at self::

shopping is my vice. trying on new shoes makes me happy. pretty dresses make me smile. purses makes me weak. the anticipation of an online purchase coming in the mail makes me giddy. I have toned down because of this recession, kinda. I buy LESS, and save more. Its not as fun, but its the responsible thing to do. I realize there are some things I just WANT, and as long as it isn’t an impulse buy, that sudden urge goes away. sometimes. I think we talked about this on SBM, I also enjoy good food. I’m totally a foodie. There are a few other things I indulge in, but I don’t feel like sharing. LOL.

I’m addicted to a lovely lady by the name of Mary Jane and also by my stunning reflection. I’m sure the former has something to do w/ the latter. In any event, it’s a great reflection though.
And shoes. I don’t what the hell is happening to me, but in ’09 I think I’ve copped about 15 kicks. Might not be alot for some, but this is crazy to me. Why the hell do I have 6 pairs of just brown kicks? I guess it has something to do w/ that reflection addiction…

P0rn. Point blank period. The greatest thing to ever happen to the internet. Its not so much I am addicted (anymore), its more that once you start .. time shoots by like a Nat Turner facial. The average scene is 1/2 hr and to watch every ass slap or stroke takes up time. And the best part is the variety, you could go with an all time favorite like Jada Fire or try a newbie like Nicole Apple. If you strike out and get a dead fish that looks good but has no sex personality (trademark pending), like Lexi Cruz your night aint over… just download some Osa Lovely and you are right back on the horse.
There is plenty of real world action out there, but when you are booboo’d up I think p0rn stops you from lusting too much. Its like I got the perfect girl @ home, than I have the best freaks in the world @ an endless supply on my computer. Why would I pick up a chick at a bar who probably is wack compared to either?
Also my 2nd Vice would be Hip Hop. Good, edgy, non- hot 97, make you think rap music. I use to download everything. I craved new hip hop. I would listen to an album for a week, break is down, than crave a new one. I must own the Warner Music a billion dollars from free downloads. But the quality of music has dropped so badly (Have a Baby by me Streetz, be a Millionaire. Pause) I went back to dissecting the music that I was too little to understand when I was a kid. Poor Righteous Teachers. Rakim. X-Clan. Even fun stuff from the past like Fresh Prince and KidNPlay.

I remember beasting on bootleg CDs back in the day. That is until I found Napster. I’ll pay for the good albums, but I don’t think I should have to shell out money for the Amil single that bumped for one summer and then suddenly disappeared.
I don’t say this often, but Cheekz that’s a damn good idea homie. I was listening to “Illmatic” the other day and was wowed by how much I missed the 1st time. That’s how you know it’s a classic. I may have to pick up some old Eric B & Rakim to rock out for the winter. I’ve been listening to a lot more Jay Electronica lately. He will have you dissecting for a minute.

I’m so with you on the dancing thing! I dance in the mornings (it can double as my cardio workout), I dance when I’m cleaning or cooking, I dance when I’m in a bad bood and I need to feel good about life
The story in my family is that I could dance before I could walk!

I don’t know if running qualifies as a vice, but if so, it’s definitely mine. I run even when I know it’s too cold/too wet to be outside. I have a bruised kneecap and still went running yesterday. Withdrawal hits if I go too many days without it. It’s like a high for me.
Chocolate & shoes are definite vices, too.

I love to gamble. I will bet on any sport that you tell me about, shoot i even lost money on the emmys the other night! I parlay 8 games together and put 5 bucks on it to win $160.
My other vice is beer pong, it is not good for me at all, this I know, b/c the end result is me being very intoxicated. But this activity brings out my competitivness in the best way, a simple game for any person and anything can happen, I wouldnt want it any other way. Im the ish.

We may have to have an Intrablog Beirut/Beer Pong Competition. I know with all the college grads frequenting this site there are some serious beer pong aficionados. Not that it’s going to matter because when the Syracuse alumni comes to play, we shut it down.

My vices are desserts, shoes, and lingerie. I have actually consumed half of a peach cobbler in a day *hangs head in shame* that’s probably I stay in the gym.
Shoes and I have love affair that increased when my paychecks did. It something about a suede knee high boot that makes feel good on the inside.
As for lingerie…I just like the way it feels on my skin as I sashay to bed. I probably had twenty to thirty lingerie sets with tags still on them.

guy question?
Do you sleep in your lingerie? I never understood the a point to lingerie other than looking good before getting it ripped off.
The one thing I hate about strippers is the awlful outfits they wear, no one wants to see that Zebra patterned underwear. Regular sexy undies don’t do it for you?

I once met a stripper that had regular boy short underwear on at the club. It could’ve been her whole personality, but the undies made her look too cute and innocent. I couldn’t look at her as a “stripper” and as result I felt dirty when she tried to give me a lap dance. I felt like I was in middle school again. I had to tell her to dance with my boy who in turn had no problem smacking her ass and letting her do her thing.
To each his own I guess.

Super nerd alert…
I think I’m addicted to learning; there’s nothing like that aha moment when you’ve finally understand the way something works. And I think it ties into my reading vice, since I tend to read 2:1 non-fiction to fiction nowadays.
My other possible vices: dancing, the internet and the Sims and possibly shoes (but I’m too frugal to fully indulge in that). And sex would be there too if I hadn’t gone the celibacy route.

Ooohhh… learning… that’s a good one. I do enjoy the feel of the “click” when something makes perfect sense and you figured it out all by yourself!
I also attribute this to why I hate reading directions on how to build/assemble/connect things.

I don’t think I’ve ever said this out loud, but I used to share your #1 addiction as well… I literally had to quit cold turkey cuz I tried weaning myself off it, but it wasn’t enough just to have a once weekly fix of my favorite characters performing my favorite naked acrobatics… But it was becoming a problem (esp since I don’t… Err… Self-please, so it was basically constant massochism).
But I can officially say that I have been clean for nearly 6 months, as long as we don’t count hbo series. I can’t watch the late night documentaries though or else I go into relapse…
Whew… I feel better. Thanks for saring, Joey! =)

Talking. I do a lot of it. I don’t ever stop. The cubby hole is where I spent most of Pre-K for talking.
Singing. I can’t sing. But I do it anyway. A lot of it. Mainly I burst into random song during a conversation.
Food. I work in a high stress environment. There’s just something about food that calms me.
Speeding. My parents are ready to kick me off the insurance. Anything less than 60 is not driving.
Nosiness. Sometimes I’m just too nosy for my own good. At least it pays the bills. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back.

thats funny. I love your entire list–especially talking. I got an award for Most Verbal at my daycare at age 3, at age 4 my kindergarten teacher had nicknamed me Chatterbox. LMAO. I am a lot more quiet now than I used to be growing up. Every time people didnt’ hear me they’d ask, ‘whats wrong, you’re so quiet?’. smh.

My vice would definitely be SHOPPING. My favorite part is when you get to take the tags off before you wear new clothes and you know you look good in them
New clothes give me an extra pep in my step.
I’m surprised that more people on here haven’t admitted to sex being a vice….

Maybe folks are so sexually advanced they don’t think of it as a vice. Or our readers are a lot more prude than we thought. Either or.
