It's August

I sorta like the trend around here when somebody points out the fact that a new month is upon us, so I decided to talk about August.

Holy shit it's August. It's over man. At least for those of us who are still students. Summer is gone. Basically. For you working types out there, your lives have been over for awhile. It's also going to be ball-scaldingly hot for the next two weeks. "Dog days" and whatnot. And we have to fucking move in this ball scalding heat. Dammit.

August, however, can also be viewed as a time of rebirth. It's sort of like Spring. Many idiots will leave our little city permanently, and many more fresh, tasty 18-year-olds will enter. That's right, the dorms open on Aug. 27--Save the date!

August also brings the return of football and drinking at 7AM...with a reason, at least. Once again we will be able to read about all the statistics of kids being rushed to detox in our beloved student newspapers. STUDENT NEWSPAPERS WILL BE BACK! This means loads of people completing crosswords, sudokus and kakuros while they should actually be listening to that intellectual type in front of them.

Alas, the summer is waning, but perhaps good things are on the horizon. It is with a heavy heart, yet open arms, that I welcome you, August.

This was the first hit on a Google image search for "August." I kinda liked it except for all the "John Tall" shit.
