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....

  1. Marco, I share your feelings about the rain. I hope that the few recent days of sunshine have helped. My vision of a vacation riding in my convertible with the top down, as the ocean passed by became the reality of a trip in our Hyundai Sonata trying to entertain irritable teenagers through a rain-soaked week. But today I have my Mustang and I am going to try again. There is always sunshine ahead; sometimes you just have to wait it out.
