Hmmm, Contradictions

“Is it winter yet? I want winter to come, ’cause winter is amazing!”

“Ugh, is is summer yet? It’s too cold, I miss the warm weather…”

So, clearly, I find myself saying the same things that most people of my age category do. Love winter, but get bored of it easily. Love summer, but get bored of it quickly. So, at the end of the day (or season, if you’d rather), which do I really prefer?

I dunno. Let’s not talk about me for a second…

Winter is quite amazing in it’s own rights. Annually, less accidents occure during the winter than in the summer, mostly because drivers are being more careful than they are in the summer, yes?

Also, the ever-chinging landscape of the winter months is quite refreshing and, admit it, you all look foreward to that marvelouas little radio snippet “It’s a snow day!”

It’s kinda hard to justify closing school because the weather is too nice, unfortunately enough.

However, summer is much more popular than winter because of the social aspects of the warmer weather. Not a lot of people like to hang around outside when it’s cold, and if they do, it’s over a smoke because the resturant is a smoke free environment. Also, on a ocmpletely guy note, women are more inclined to wear less layers in the summer, showing off more of their beautiful selves.

I’m just sayin’, it’s something all guys notice. I’m sure girls notice the same about men too, but I wouldn’t know, now would I?

Warmer weather also brings the promis of the eternally sought Summer Vacation, that joyous period of time that the peoples under the age of 18 are released into the world for 2 months of freedom whilst those over the age of 19 and have a job realize that they’re never going back to that ever again (shudder).

However, heat stroke can cause serious issues in the first few weeks of summer as people don’t plan accordingly for the oft-misunderstood deadly sun. As well, slightly more reckless behavious ensues as well as the average Canadian drinking party (boozer-fest, really) to herald the new season, which can incur the wraths of drunk driving (which is less common than you may think, by the way) and drunken brawls over nothing, eh?

However, with both seasons bringing in their pros and cons, and I think it can be safe to say that the other seasons are no better off. Fall; it’s getting too cold. Spring; it’s too rainy.

Is there nosatisfying us as a people?

Probably not, actually, considering those who really do care too much either move further north or south to such destinations such as Florida or… Miami.

Personally, I like that transitional period between summer and fall. It’s kinda warm, but I can dress like I want (with a additional layer or two) and not have to worry about the sun’s scorching rays that threaten to melt me into a puddle to live in a jar until the weather cools down.

However, in the meantime…

When’s summer?
