I'm kind of new to this hub business, so bear with me. As my first foray into this business of hubbing, I thought I'd make a hub and see what all the hub-bub is about. I'm not sure if that's even a word, but it damn sure should be.

Well, I have a habit of writing about my thoughts, whatever they may be. At the moment, two things are chiefly occupying my mind.

#1: I really need to stop staying up so damn late. It's 6:30 in the morning. I'm still up from the night before. What the hell is wrong with me?

#2: It's snowing. In April. Why? Just... why? This month was starting out so nicely. For a minute there, I actually thought my nature journal project for bio was going to be fun. And then it started snowing. I don't care how much of my final grade this project represents; there's no way in hell I'm taking a 30 minute walk outside while it's snowing.

I'm inclined to blame the groundhog for this. You know, the groundhog's day fiend who every year teases us with the promise of an early spring. Has he ever delivered on that? Ever? I think it's all a sham. To begin with, they always told me as a kid, if the groundhog sees his shadow, he'll get scared and go back into his hole, and then we get 4 more weeks of winter. Then I was in middle school, and I started hearing 6 more weeks of winter. And now, I'm pretty sure I heard somebody say 8 weeks of winter. We're actually getting winter inflation here. What the hell is going on with this holiday?

And then there's all the business about global warming. Al Gore and his go-green friends made us all think the world was going to get hotter than hell in a matter of years. And yet, here we are in 2009, and it's snowing in the middle of April. And it's not like I live in Stockholm or something. This is New York, the United States. What the hell, dude? Could it be that, in reality, the ozone we've been losing kept the planet from losing heat, and as it disappears, more and more of the sun's rays bounce off of bald people's heads and back out of the atmosphere, leaving us all colder than we were before? Seems like it to me. Maybe the world will be hotter than usual in summer, but for everyone not on the side of the globe currently facing the sun, we have to keep on our winter coats until friggin' June.

I never know what to wear anyway. No matter what I wear, I'll always be too hot or too cold. If I go out in a light jacket and jeans, it's too cold. Put on my coat, and then I'm too hot. And even if I get it right, I'll have to recalibrate every time I step outside or go to a different building.

And the weather reports are useless. They're educated guesses at best. You want a real accurate weather forecast? Well, here's your forecast: it's gonna be cold, it's gonna be gray, and it's gonna last the rest of your life.

(Points for anyone who gets the movie reference)

With that, I conclude my annoyed rant for today. If anyone cares enough to learn more about me and my cintillating life, go check my blog archives. Peace and love, people. I'm gonna get some breakfast.
