Hatred

Andrew's back, and not happy.

I'm trying, in my old age, to be less of a complainer. It's something that I feel is detrimental to not only my own attitude, but also to the attitudes of others who have to listen to me whining. No one likes a complainer...so as soon as I'm done writing this I swear I'm going to stop complaining.

I freaking HATE winter. I HATE it more than I think I hate deer. My top 3 hatred list now looks like this: Beelzebub and Winter tied for first, Semi Trucks a close second. I hate everything about winter. The snow, the wetness, the ice, the sting of cold air on your face which somehow invigorates Keith, the people who can't drive, the blue ice the freezes on your car from your windshield wiper fluid, ruined shoes and pant cuffs, etc. I hate everything about winter. I hate winter so much, that if winter could be personified into human form I would slap it in the face with a baseball bat. Even if winter were personified as a small child with Downs Syndrome, a cleft palate, and one arm I would still try to club it with a baseball bat! That's how unrelenting my hatred for winter is.

That said, I had a wonderfully awful trip to work today, as did everyone in my office all because of the ills of winter. When I die and get to heaven, I swear one of my questions for the Lord is going to be: "Honestly God, that Winter crap is pretty devastating. Was that a result of the Fall, because if it was, I want to find Adam and give him a very stern talking to". That's about all the complaining I can muster for now, but I hate winter.

It has been a while since I have posted but I hope no one holds this against me. Here are some parting words of wisdom in an admittedly rip-off-Keith stylee:

1) Speaking of underrated bands, remember the ska craze of the late 90's? The 3rd wave if you will? I think of the most underrated bands of the ska movement was Catch 22. They had an unbelievable sound, such catchy hooks and their instrumentality was so good. Waking up to Catch 22 makes me happy. Any Catch 22 fans out there? I know some of you are...

2) I'm listening to 3rd Day now... a band I have, and will continue to denounce for profiting off of what should be, an individual's private worship experience. However!! Though the vessel is flawed (in my mind anyway) 3rd Day has helped me calm down and stop complaing for the day.

3) Here's an article for you, and MLK Essay contest winner. Read, comprehend, think.
