Snow

Fuck this weather. I hate this time of year, it's cold and it's dark and it's dank and it snows. I FUCKING HATE SNOW.

I realise almost NO-ONE will agree with me about this, but like i give one.

My problem with snow is threefold. One, it's fucking cold. I know this is obvious, but i despise the cold. I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone likes it. People are not supposed to operate in this climate. Your extremities freeze up, your skin hurts, your limbs get stiff, you lose your balance and fall over breaking your bones, you get frost bite and your fingers fall off. This is bullshit, that stuff doesn't happen in warm weather.I know you can wrap up warm, but i don't see why i should have to put on all of my clothes so i can leave my house.

Secondly, as much as i hate the snow and will do my best to avoid leaving the house, i power through. If i need to get up, out of my warm bed, i do. I leave my wonderful warm flat with my cat and i walk to work. I bitch and moan the whole time, but I POWER THROUGH. I heard something on the radio today about how a call centre in Leeds had only 10% of workers turn up. What the fuck?! It's only frozen water, not a nuclear fallout. Sort your life out and get up off your fat and lazy ass and go to work. No buses? Walk. Car stuck on the drive? Walk. GO TO FUCKING WORK.

Lastly, and most importantly, i despise the way people romanticise winter and snow. How people seem to think that the world is now somehow more beautiful covered in two inches of frozen toilet water. I can't count the amount of status updates and new pictures I've seen on facebook of people in the snow. Pictures of snow men. 'Arty' pictures of peoples streets (and for the record, taking a picture on your iphone, through the 'Hispanic' filter, does not make something art). It's fucking bullshit.

The world covered in snow is a cold and miserable place. I realise this post might not be very articulate, but I'm cold and my fingers won't work properly. Fuck the cold, and fuck you if you like it.
