Dog days of winter
I hate this time of year.
January 3rd to mid April is the worst possible stretch of time on the calendar. There is no holidays (outside of Valentines Day in all its splendid lameness), its freezing, and the time drags. There are no good sports championships, mediocre movies and game titles are released. Many places, including here, its a dry cold, so its not like you can participate in winter sports or activities, which usually include snow. Completely worthless.
On top of that, it compounds on the fact that it immediatley follows the winter holiday period. Crazy.
The period from July 5th-September 30th is as equally bland, but the fact is, atleast you can go swimming, or grill out, or do any other amount of nice weather activities. Summer "blockbusters" are released, Madden football comes out, and the stores start gearing up for the holidays again, which is a tremendous spectacle in itself. You can drive around in comfy clothes with the window down, you can sit out on a nice summer night. Assuming you have screens, you can leave your windows open all day and feel the breeze.
Sorry for the rant. Its currently 10 degrees outside with the windchill, and the only thing I can think about is how much Id like to be a hibernating animal and wake up for the spring.
