The Official I'M SICK OF SUMMER Thread - Page 4

Frazod · 09-05-2007, 06:07 PM

Here's a rant.

I wish heat and humidity were a person.

Someone that I could abduct, trap in my basement and slowly fucking torture to death. And I'm not talking a mild blowtorch and thumbscrews type of torture - I'm talking a Kevin Spacey from Seven type of torture - something that would take weeks or months, even years. Something that would be marveled over later.

Enough with this crap. On a day where it was vile and miserable anyway, right at 5:00, it pours fucking rain, but only for a few minutes; not long enough to affect the temperature, but just long enough to raise the humidity levels to about 10,000%. Thirsty? Just open your mouth and breathe, and hope you don't drown. So then I walk the mile to the train station in this soupy, miserable shit. Well, that's over, I think. WRONG. Now the fucking air conditioning goes out on the train right as we're leaving the goddamn station, for the second fucking day in a row. There's another sonofabitch I'd like to go Spacey on - the dick in charge of making sure the air conditioning works - probably some lazy rat bastard drinking a cup of coffee in a nice cool office somewhere. What a lovely 45 minute train ride to enjoy after I was already rolling fucking sweat.

If I could get a paying job in fucking Antarctica, I'd take it. I hate the midwest, I hate summer, I hate the heat and I REALLY hate the fucking humidity.

COME ON WINTER HURRY UP AND fuckING GET HERE

That is all.

I'm just the opposite, Frazod. Sure, I agree that when the heat is in the upper 90s or into the 100s with the high humidity in the Midwest, it is oppressive. But other than those short periods of extreme heat, I love Summer time. I love getting out and playing hoops, swimming in the pool, walking the dogs, biking, camping, etc. Hell, even just firing up the grill, sitting on the patio drinking a Sam Adams, and smoking a cigar while my steaks cook is very enjoyable to me. That is not really an option in the Winter. I can't do many of those things in the Winter. Just being outside in the Winter sucks, even when you dress for it. Plus, you have all of those days that are cloudy. I get cabin fever. I hate Winter.

Screw yardwork! I just let the sun torch my lawn. We use the water for the pool.

The older I get the more I hate summer. I love the spring and fall and absolutely hate winter.

I would almost classify myself as having S.A.D. I get totally bummed out in the winter time. I put on about 10lbs, get depressed and inactive. I can't do anything outside that I enjoy.

I really wish it were 90° all year other than hunting season and Christmas....

Hell, even the winter is much better than KC.

Yep, SoCal probably has the best constant climate in the country, but if you like a little variety, you can't beat the Denver/Colorado Springs area, IMO. Sunshine all year round, summers don't get too hot, and surprisingly winters are pretty reasonable too. It snows, but melts off pretty quickly. Aside from being filled with Broncos fans, it's one of my favorite places.

No way, New England has the best weather

what could be better than having one day be cold and rainy, the next day 95 degrees and humid, then the next day be back to cold. There is no consistancy what so ever up here.
