The Ides of June

How devastating to think that it is June 15th already. Where did the summer go, I ask? Maybe the several weeks of rain had something to do with it. Ironically enough, however, during the time that I should have been out riding jet skies, going paint-balling and enjoying other outdoor activities, the weather did not permit it. However today, on the Ides of June, right when the sun decided to come out and play, I find myself indoors - staring at a computer screen - and trying to catch up on homework assignments. I guess I spent so much time boycotting against the weather that I forget to stay on track with school. Thank you very much Mother Nature, I really appreciate it.

One might ask why the Ides of June is significant? Others may simply seek to know why I am fusing about it. Unfortunately there is no clear answer. The middle of June is both exciting and weird simultaneously. On the one hand, the weather is great and taste of summer is so vibrant it can salivate the mouth similar to Pavlov's Dogs. Yet, the end of summer also approaches. As succulent as summer may taste at the moment, the bittersweet reality of "educational slavery" becomes nearer. 5 classes, 2 jobs, and countless head aches becomes nearer. Sleep deprivation is close to and I can almost hear my alarm clock going off already - something I have not used in months....

Seasonal Affect Disorder

As I sit in my double wide chair, supported by a 7.52$ piece of plywood bought at Home Depot, the rain furthers my frustration. One of the springs broke on my chair. Sad story, really. It's 13 years old and I can't let it go. Anyway, the darn thing would have never erroded if I haven't spent so much time in it. This rain has really done a number in on furniture. Furthermore, this inability to play outside has lead me to go on a video game binge. This is a sad story too. I'm 23 years old with more video games than a spoiled preteen. Yet, still, I find myself bored. Dwelling in the sorry of the dark clouds and praying for sunshine.
I have to go on vacation, something tells me I need too. The summer is burning away quicker than gas in a pick up truck and I'm stuck sitting on my now overly stiff chair. Another sad story. So sad, I'm doing homework ecstatically and tricking myself into thinking that the rain is a good thing - as it will keep me inside and focused on my work. Well bull shit, lol. That worked the for the first 3 weeks of rain but now its getting a little redundant, monotonous even. In layman's terms, this rain is played out and its time for a new gig.
Until then however, my continual indulgence in take-out, video games and pay-per-view presses onward - all in an effort to fight this seasonal affect disorder....
