I wouldn't call meditation a vice, but that helps a lot too.
Um, vices? Most people would be proud if they spent their free time like that. I'm assuming you meant hobbies.
My worst vices would probably be procrastination and pretentiousness, in musical taste and in intelligence (in other kids among my age.)

I guess people consider intoxication from various substances at different times vices. I also drink absurdly large amounts of Mt. Dew and Raspberry Brisk...

mmm... I don't somke, don't drink -just a little-, don't do drugs so let me see... I listen to music too much, I even wait until a song ends to go and do something else, I read too much also... and roadrage, might be a vice also... just that when I go with someone on the car, I feel a lot more easy at it... and... addicted to women... for sure... guilty pleasure i guess...

Adverts in general. But mostly idiotic, thoughtless TV adverts devised by University graduates that think they are clever but in fact are quite pathetically the opposite.
Here is an example.
Seriously, I thought meerkats were quite cute before watching this. Now I just see a white flash whenever I see one and want to strangle the f**ker.
Just looked up the definition of VICES and I realised it doesn't mean things I passionately hate...
And I'm kinda embarassed about what I said now
I won't edit it for sh*ts and giggles, but my true vices are as follows:
Smoking, too much drinking and way too much sexual stimulation.

This.
Generally speaking, escapism & procrastination are my biggest vices. I spend more time watching movies/listening to music/reading books than I do thinking about my own very uncertain future. I can't help it. I suppose I don't like reality all that much.
That, and apathy caused by depression from the realization that even if I worked real hard at it I would not make much difference in this world. It's just too stagnant and filled with a exponentially increasing amount of ignorant animals (humans).
Self-depreciation brought on by recognizing my own arrogance, ineffectiveness, and fragility.
Trying to shove too much information in my head everyday, so that I can dismantle my illusions and rid myself of ignorance.
Thinking to the point of losing sleep.
You know, the usual.
I used to share the same view, then realised it was self destructive and making my apparently insignificant life all the more insignificant. So I just decided f**k it I'll have fun. Seems to work fine for me (provided your idea of fun doesn't wind up with you in prison of course )

Actually they`re really great people. I`m an honourary Newfoundlander because I kissed the fish. Look it up I can`t explain it here.
I'd like to point out here that kissing fish is not an admission of a particularly strange vice; any Newfoundlander or visitor to that beautiful island will understand +++cue even more wistful expression+++
So where were you screeched in, Vibe (it happened to me on a boat in Bay Bulls)?
