Man vs. Cigarette

Look! I wrote a haiku about Boston.

In the summer,

Boston is very nice.

The trees sway.

I even looked up haiku online and followed the rules. I forget what they are now but trust me, I followed them. Yes, the middle line only has 6 syllables but one of them counts as 2 or something. Ah well, i hope you enjoyed it!

In other news, I thought it would be good to follow up on my last entry so I'm not just blowing smoke everywhere. In fact, I haven't blown any smoke since yesterday morning at 10am. This new leaf could be for real and it has included a last effort to quit smoking for good. In the spirit of this effort, I signed up for a class at Arlington Hospital called "Quit for Good". It meets tonight and I'm awfully excited. I've also rearranged my room, started sleeping in a different bed, and moved my playstation into my room. Instead of eating breakfast in front of the TV, I've resolved to start enjoying my morning meal on the back porch. I've also made an effort to make my room a little more like a semi-permanent living space as it seems like I won't be going anywhere terribly soon.

All this to say, I'm following through. For those of you in my situation, be encouraged. Depression and smoking are both things that can be overcome and I hope I can show you that. I'm going to start blogging about things and hopefully this will be helpful.
