Response to Sedaris

Sedaris' essay was pretty amusing to me. I couldn't help but feel bad for the kid, not being able to control his ability to repress urges. I'm not sure what to think of the overall story, though. It seemed to get pretty repetitive by the midway point. The only thing that really changed was the types of urges he had. By the end though he realizes that smoking cigarettes is the way to go. It helps keep his mind off of his urges, while also giving him a way to compensate for them. Moral of the story? Smoke.
