couldn't think of a clever title

Well today I sold the remainder or my tobacco crop. Smokers of the world will have some options for the forseeabe future. It would seem that I roughly made about 14 grand off of my six acres. I would like to grow more and committ more time to farming, but we are limited by barns and how many amigos we can house. Oh well.

I have decided to do a couple of things with this money initially. First, I need to buy health insurance. I have been uninsured since august of 2007, and some things shouldn't be put off anymore. My vision needs checked, and I probably need some new frames and contact lenses. I haven't been to the dentist for a while either. Lucky for me, my dentist brags to me about my "perfect" teeth. Usually when I go in for a checkup, I only have to get some plaque removed. I still should go, I doubt any potential dates would be comfortable if it got out that I haven't been to the dentist for such a long time. I do brush my teeth daily, but a checkup can't hurt. I am also going to buy a satellite ready CD player for my truck. The sportster 5 I bought is underperforming for what I expect from a paid service. The rest is going in my bank account and will hopefully cover putting out this years corn crop.

I also want to talk about my smoking and tobacco use history. I have already mentioned being a two time dipper and not enjoying or getting anything out of it. Growing up, both of my parents smoked and I didn't really see why I would want to try that. I eventually gave in and smoked my first cigarette about two months before I turned 22. I never did smoke much. The only time I smoked was when I was drinking, or had been drinking. I never have taken a sober smoke. I did get in to smoking some before the indoor ban came into effect in columbus. I probably reached a peak of personal smoking when I was 23, the summer before I moved back home. I would occasionaly carry around my own pack and lighter. The last cigarette that I smoked was at 4th of july 2009. I don't think I have ever smoked in the house I live in now and don't really see myself smoking any more anyways. One of the reasons I would smoke when drinking was to slow down how much I was actually drinking. Now that I rarely do any heavy drinking, I don't think I will do any causal smoking. I really don't miss either of them that much anymore.  Most of the cigarettes I had were free cigarettes from a bar anyways.
