It’s spring, or at least pretty much. March 21st is the first day of Spring. I don’t know why. I’m sure there is a perfectly logical reason involving old farmers work schedules and old pagan traditions. Isn’t that the basis of all holidays?
The idea because spring is cool. It’s the season between the cold ass winter and the hot ass summer. It’s light jacket weather on cooler days and shorts on other days. It’s that nice middle period that reminds everyone to start getting obnoxious and crazy heading into the summer. After spending months cooped up and away from the world because of the winter hell, people are pent up. The release? Spring!
People love to celebrate spring break but if you’re no spring chicken and your weather parents can’t spring for the tab you might want to stay home and get your spring cleaning done.
MTV used to have awesome “Spring Break” weekends with random silliness that would pretty much become the visual poopstain that was Jersey Shore. Think about it. These shows did have some good music performances so that’s something.
It’s just all so “notable”. Would the season not happen if the groundhog didn’t see his shadow? How does all of this tie in? There’s Easter, March Madness, and Wrestlemania. How the hell do we have time for “spring”?
I’m not going to be “that guy” and talk bad about “spring” for no reason. I like spring. If you ask me, we should cancel February (sorry BlackHistory Month, but you can have ANY other month you want) and just go New Years, sleep it off, and then bam! Spring and St. Patty’s Day!
Pretty much, what I’m trying to get to, is that I’m tired of snow and the weather this year. Spring is here in name only. I’m tired of snowplows not existing in my local city. I’m tired of icey roads making everyone drive like twats. I’m worn the hell out from all the social media updates about the same freaking weather outside of everyone’s window.
Before we know it, it’ll be summer.
