Jim's diary, Part 1

The night between the 1st and the 2nd of June

It is now 02.10. The time, not the day - thank God. If it were the 2nd of October every one in this country would be :-(. Now it is the night between the 1st and the 2nd of June and just about everybody is :-). Especially the ones, who are asleep or drunk.

I think in Finland all people have a license to be sad, but in Summer Mr. Melancholy is just around the corner. I don't know, but I could bet my last cents, that the most suicides happen in Finland around October. I really do not know, never tried one. Well, the most deathly accidents occur definitely during Midsummer festival, but that's another "happy" story.

Maybe such a happy subject came to my mind, because I heard good news from a friend on Internet. The guy is writing his second book, although the first will not be published until next year, and has written 71 pages in 3 months. I was on Internet at night when he kicked out the first three parts. I hurried to comment those and soon we had another crazy discussion in non-or-some-dialect Finnish language of ours. For the first time we introduced ourselves by real names and changed email addresses. So Elias, if you read this, it´s for you - and for literature and art.
