A True Winter



    

 

     While I’m here in suspended animation, I have experienced a severe change in seasons, one day it was 60 degrees, the next it was 90, the next it was 40, and finally 70 degrees yesterday.  Today it’s frigid, a little under 30 degrees, I can’t stand the winter much.  I’ve really been thinking about what would happen if the seasons never changed, if we were stuck in a perpetual, horrid winter or a lovely summer.  I think we would get sick of one and just pray for a change, I know I can’t stand repetition.  I just saw a couple of flurries fall outside, so disappointing after that 70 degree weather…

 

     Alright so screw philosophy, that’s for people no jobs to do.  I find that I’ve been more negative than anything this past year, seems like life is too short to angry all the time, or at least that’s what stupid philosophers say.

 

     All the negativity has been building, and it makes me wonder, Should I just give up?  Not commit suicide, that’s one of the most selfish things you could do, but just stop trying to appease others.  I think life is getting just too mundane to care about what others ask of me.  Just trudging through life would make everything more enjoyable I think, though it is sad that becoming a total waste of human flesh would be a lot more enjoyable than trying.

 

     But why should I care?  My friends aren’t even worth the time and effort, let alone anyone else.  Take Miriam for example, I asked her how she felt about me, and she told me that we were good friends and always will be.  What a stupid girl cliché thing to say, I didn’t want her to lie and say she liked me, but I want to hear the truth.  She thinks she’s a unique person just because she likes art and is a writer.  Well I’ll tell you now that she’s about as unique as a clone.

 

     Then Lisa comes up to me, out of the blue, asking me whether I knew what his actual name was.  I couldn’t remember exactly, so just to be funny, I said it was Aborigine.  I knew I was wrong, but he went ballistic on me, he eventually yelled his name in the midst of his incoherent babble, I still wasn’t paying much attention, but I think it was Adam or something.
