There I am, taking a shot on Goal in Warm ups.
When the hell is this winter going to be over? Didn't Mother Nature get the memo that spring started March 20th? We just had 6 inches of snow yesterday. I like winter about as much as I like getting up for work each morning. Winter is death to me. All the trees have no leaves and the flowers are gone. Its as cold as a corpse on the undertakers slab. I can't play tennis or go running. I can't go out in shorts & T Shirt, ride in my car with the windows down and my stereo blaring Morrissey or The Smiths. I am so pathetic I wake up each morning and count the number of days till spring starts. Well now that spring has started, it still appears to be winter. My patience is wearing thin.
I pass the time in winter by playing Ice Hockey. Playing hockey somewhat makes winter tolerable for me.
I stink at Hockey like everything else I do in life but at least it is something to do. After the game some of my teammates and I go to the club for some beer. Now there is something I am good at, I can drink a lot of beer. But I drink Lite beer so therefor I am a lightweight. I also workout at home everyday after work with weights and my exercise bike but I am going stir crazy being cooped up inside.
Spring is supposed to be rejuvenation. The trees blossoming, flowers blooming. and the temperature warming. This means life to me. I can get out and start running and playing tennis. No more being caged up like some prisoner at a state pen. Maybe this is all a dream? Maybe I'm in Purgatory, stuck in limbo with a winter that never ends. Oh wait the Church said there is no Purgatory anymore, I forgot. So this could be Hell for me. My Hell wouldn't be hot, it would be being stuck in permanently cold weather with snow. So I have no choice but to wait with utmost impatience for this endless winter to be over. Writing about it made me feel slightly better. The first 75 degree day will send me into untold bliss.
