Happy Solstice, the bad one

Happy solstice out there to all who celebrate. But, it is the bad solstice (the decent one in Winter, come on December 21st).

Me, i hate summer. It is too hot, too bright, too not fall/winter. i like cool overcast days with drizzle. The only good thing was the lack of school (though school years should be extended to 220 days a year). Since that hasn't been an issue for years, i struggle to find anything redeeming about summer.

Summer has always been that miserable time of year where violent incidents seem to peak, as people's fuses get shorter. While, not likely a "summer of death" like previous summers according to evil or braindead politicians, this should not be a good one (a potentially really not good one, at least this isn't an election this year, so no need to parade out the misanthropic social causes borderline terrorists). 

Fossil Rock Rocks

Did you ever have one of those people growing up who would listen to "classic rock" or '60s rock and ridicule just a little bit for that? i did, it was a guy who gave me rides to a morning church thing when i was in high school (for the Mormons out there, seminary - i hated waking up early for that, especially since i didn't believe in god). Now i kind of envied the era he grew up in. i remember he used to wear 70s style green leisure suits at one point.

Once you start to get older than sitcom parents, you know what just don't think of it - it is far too horrible.

Today i find myself listening to the radio on an Echo Dot (because that's probably the only way i can get a signal). Yeah 1980s Weekend! Wait, is the awesome music from the 80s to early 90s now considered "fossil rock"? Am i no better than Al Bundy? No that can't be so (but it is). 

If it is that is more like Cretaceous Period rock, not Triassic Period rock he listened to. i wish like Johnny Hates Jazz said, i could "Turn back the clock, bring the wheels of time to a stop, back to the days, when life was so much better".
