Rantings Diversified

There is not much I dislike as much as I dislike winter. It’s cold and rainy. Then it’s really cold and windy. Then for a bit it gets extremely cold. Of course, then we come to R.F.C.*. Let’s throw in some snow and slush along with the windy bits. Then about the time we have just about had it with shitty weather every thing freezes and stays frozen for a couple of long, long months that feel like years that have turned to decades.
Mind you, all this time the sun goes into the Witness Protection Program and hides out like a New Jersey mobster turned states evidence. While the sun is doing it’s hideout thing in the Bahamas, Algore the Evil Snow God does his best to make us all watch his propoganda film by forcing us all indoors and dreading having to venture forth. The wind howls an evil song along with the stubborn thermometer who turns itself all the way down and refuses to help.
My car sits outside all day and night and when I ask it to start sometimes it just looks up at me and coughs one of those little coughs rude people give you when you light a smoke in a bar. This where I usually resort to threats and mean words to coax it into starting. The whole while I’m shivering. Oh, yea, shivering! Who the heck invented that?
Hey, let’s go for a walk! Are you insane? Is the normal reply given when someones utters such nonsense in winter.
This morning I awoke, with my windows open, to find it was only 44 DEGF (that’s 279.8 degrees Kelvin) outside…and inside. The high temperature today was 57DEGF (that’s 287 degrees Kelvin). I turned my furnace on this evening.
The only good thing about all this cold and freezing and snow and slush and wind is that I have a fireplace in my living room.
So when I have completely had it with the cold and nasty that winter is I can always build a fire, pour myself a glass of bourbon and read a book or watch a movie by the fireplace.

* Really Fucking Cold

Here’s what they say about me.

GREED = -6
You’re not in this for the money, for you blogging is all about the passion! Sure you might make a little pocket change now and again, but you know that it’s the content, the audience and the people that are what makes blogging great!

Expierence = 0
You represent one of the thousands of newcomers that take up blogging every year and while others will fall away over time, you are in it for the long haul. It’s only a matter of time before your greatness is apparent to all and sundry!

Sociability = -3
Social media, other bloggers, networks and all that jazz don’t really interest you. You have enough friends in the real world, you don’t need more. You blog because you want to express yourself not to meet bloggers!

How about you?
