Looking forward to a couple of things in August.
1) 20 years ago, come August 21st, I started smoking "full time." I had only smoked either in my car or when I was someplace out and about. My 2nd girlfriend had just dumped me for a high-school buddy, and I made a promise to myself right then and there. I vowed that I was going to smoke all the time until 1 of 2 things happened: either a) I found someone who loved me for who I was, not whether I drank, smoked, or whatever, and I would quit for her. or if that didn't happen, that b) 20 years later I would quit. So, as you can probably guess, "a" didn't happen... so its my 20 year promise to myself that I aim to keep.
2) A friend of mine moved to a town near Buffalo, NY about 5 years ago with his wife and kids. I've known him for about 10 years now. I also know his brothers, (actually I met him through one of them 10 years ago, shortly after meeting the one) and met one of his sisters. Anyway, except for Father's day when he was out this way this year, I hadn't seen him in almost 5 years, and this August, from the 7th to the 14th, the one brother and I are going to drive out to see him for that week.
Guess what week I plan to quit smoking? Yeah, I'll be killing two birds with one stone that week.
Almost forgot:
If there is one person you can't stop thinking about post this sentence in your journal.

You can always see Gaiman coming. He's the guy surrounded by the swarm of goth chicks.
