Dec 2012

Scary thing is, I think people want it like this...even if global warming is to blame. It's unbelievable how many people say, "ISN'T THIS GREAT!!??" Uh, no moron. It's not great. It's supposed to be cold now. People are so obsessed with warm weather...they hate the cold so much...they totally don't care if the planet melts. Just as long as we're warm and toasty all the time.

I loathe midwestern summers with a passion (hot, humid as hell). I put up with them, as miserable as they are...I figure it's the price you pay for a beautiful, crisp fall and a cold winter. I guess now it can just be warm all the damn time instead.

Last winter sucked. This winter is looking the same. No more snow. No more cold.
