Rantings Diversified

I was digging through my off-line archives and came across this one and decided to update it to January, ’08.

I HATE winter!

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 at 0730 only to find it was only 263.7DEGK (that’s 15 degrees Fahrenheit or -9.4 Celsius) outside. The high temperature today was a balmy 267.53DEGK (that’s 21 degrees Fahrenheit or -6.1 Celsius). I had fuel oil delivered today and I had to pay for it. Grrrrrr.
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 now that I have completely had it with the cold and nasty that winter is I built a fire and am going to start a new book while the fire warms my toes.

I got nothing today.
I’m in a bad mood.
I don’t like when things don’t go my way or when things take longer than I think they should.
I haven’t had a smoke since 2330 last night.
There, I said it out loud.
I quit smoking this morning… for the last time!
People are pissing me off today.
Gee, I wonder why.
Nothing is going right today.
I know it’ll get better but at least for now I’m in a bad mood.
Grrrrrr.
