Can Summer End Already?

I fucking hate summer. All I do is go to work in hot ass buildings, come home, pass out, wake up and repeat. Guess what? I can do that when it’s 40 degrees out just as well, minus sweating balls. Seriously. I don’t live near a beach, so I’m not at the beach. I don’t go to pools much. No one goes on vacation (and if I did, I’m dead serious I’d go on an Alaska cruise). I don’t do the stereotypical summer outdoor activities. I’m home in my AC, and it’s boring as hell. And it needs to end now.

No one seems to understand that if it’s cold, you can always bundle up, snuggle, put more clothes on etc. But if it’s hot and there’s no AC, there’s nothing you can do.

Also, the good part of summer is already over. For me, summer is only tolerable until July 4th. The beginning of summer is always fun because you just get out of school and you have the whole entire summer to look forward to. I like seasons, so I need a little summer, but I’ll take 1-2 weeks max before I hate it to death. But after July 4th, it drags on, nothing else is fun and all I used to do was count down days to school so I can have a[n unhealthy] life again. Although I’m done with school so…

There are so many good things coming up this fall/winter, I just want to hibernate until its 65 degrees or below outside. Then I’ll come out and enjoy these:

• September 14, 2010 (technically still summer but close enough) – New Linkin Park Album. It better not be whiny and annoying. If it’s like anything prior to 2003, (and 1-2 songs from Minutes to Midnight), it’ll be good.
• September 19, 2010 – HBO’s Boardwalk Empire series premier. Scorsese? Atlantic City mob scene in the 1920s. Sick. It’s HBO, so it’s guaranteed to be good.
• September 21, 2010 – Autumn. It better start cooling the hell off soon
• September 26, 2010 – Season 5 Premier of Dexter. That show is the shit.
• December 25, 2010 – Christmas
• December 29, 2010 – The Machine is at BB King’s in NYC. Who’s coming with?
• Q4 2010 / Q1 2011 – Android 3.0 Gingerbread. Yummy!
• 2011 sometime – New Red Hot Chili Peppers Album. Not much details are known. Might be different without Frusciante.
• Winter 2011 – I need to visit D-Porpz in that state where old people live and everyone else vacations at.
• March 2011 – Round up college friends (or whoever the hell wants to go with me) and book spring break while pretending to still be college students, not an old unemployed, fat, lazy bum. Anyway, yatta yatta yatta college girls yatta yatta. This is to make up for the fact that I didn’t get a chance to go away on spring break while I was in college (what a waste). It’s also an attempt for me to step away from reality and stop crying that my life sucks now that I graduated.

See? There’s a lot of good shit coming up, and it’s not during summer. Mec – 1. Summer – 0.
