Parliament Lights saved my possesions

Alright so I've been thinking about quiting smoking for some time now but an incredible experience last Monday has made it a little difficult.
As I got home from work, my roommate throws some 50g of Peruvian "incense" in my lap. Once capsuled and swallowed, it took about 90 min to get the mild effects. The next 6 hours (up until I passed out) were amazing.
Anyways, a couple hours of yard roaming and fireworks go by and I get the urge to go meet some friends. Here's where the weird part starts. I'm about to leave the house and realize i forgot my smokes. I live in the basement so i had to walk back downstairs past the washer and dryer. At this same moment, a loud, high pitched, whistling came from out of no where. Was I tripping? All of a sudden it started getting very hot and humid. After looking around, I found the culprit; a blown hot water tube going to the washer. Damn I'm tripping a little too hard to focus and fix this myself. The power box was right by the washer so i figured it would be a good idea to get the roommates upstairs attention by turning off and on the power. It didn't phase them. I finally got them downstairs and they turned out to be no help. As they walked around with dumbfounded faces, I found a screwdriver and was able to turn the very rusted hot water valve off. In the aftermath, there was water all over the ground EXCEPT it stopped right before my room with near 6k in electrical equipment in it. The trip went on. I met up with some friends and continued an amazing adventure. But the whole time I kept thinking "If I didn't go back for my smokes, I would have lost everything (including my shroom equipment)." A sign of the Tobacco gods? Probably not. But man did it feel good to have a cigarette after nearly losing everything.

Yeah, right on man!
You should switch to cigars though, and keep the tobacco spirits around without wrecking your tender lungs!
