A bit of breaking news on the UN finally addressing the exposure celebrities gain for using drugs ( here in the UK). Read the news of the statement issued here.
"UN: It's time to get tough with celebrity drug abusers"
Currently gathering general opinion of this. Please feel free to email your thoughts for putting a new article together. It would be great if anyone has US examples of this or opinion on the US celebrity drug cases.

This is not a straight-edge preaching post.
It is, however, one begging you to consider who else you're hurting when you abuse yourself.
I am tired of not being able to sleep. I am tired of seeing people cry. I am tired of wearing black. I am tired of carrying around copious amounts of Kleenex. I am tired of buying sympathy cards and sending fruit baskets for something so flagrantly avoidable.
I am tired of my friends dying of drug overdoses.
Yes, it can happen to you. And when it does, it also happens to everyone who loves you. Think about your parents, your grandparents, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your husband, your wife, your friends, your children, your colleagues, and how much they're going to suffer because you wanted to have a little more energy to party the night before.
And to those of you who are too scared to call an ambulance when you're witnessing your friends having seizures and OD'ing? Get over it. You can get a slap on the wrist, or you can live the rest of your life knowing you watched someone die. It shouldn't be a difficult decision to make.
With that, I will step off of my soapbox and pray someone sees this and declines a line tonight.

Tip Du Jour: Sleeping Pills
As I sit here in the office, practically still asleep and unable to fully function, I think that the tip of the day need not be none other than what is causing my current funk.
I've tried most of the goodies; ambien, tamazapan, lunesta.
Each works differently for everyone, so you've got to figure out which is your poison. Basically, if you don't need them, don't take them. And, if you do need to take them, don't do it regularly. They are addiciting, despite what the commercials say.
Lunesta: Sort of works, has a really horrible after-taste
Tamazapan: Doesn't really work, but I guess it kept me asleep, once I finally fell asleep
Ambien: Works every time.
Now for the tip of caution. Split Ambien in half. Taking even a half will make you loopy and knock you out. Taking a whole will make you forget that you even slept. And, again, as I sit here this am, I've forgotten 1) that I went to bed last night 2) that I somehow woke up and went to the gym 3) how did I get to work? 4) What should I be doing now that I'm actually here?
Half the pill next time... or plan to sleep for more than 7 hours...
