Annddd.... It's coming.

Yes, yes it is. Winter is coming SOON. I am MORE than pumped. I actually can't contain my excitement. I just can't wait to get bundled up in my snow-suit. When I say "my snow-suit" what I actually mean, is the snow-suit that I am waiting with eager anticipation to buy. See, I usually don't like winter. Actually, I NEVER like winter. I don't have any reason to. I don't snowboard, I don't ski, I don't really skate - although usually it happens about once a winter, I have tobagganed maybe once since being eight years old, and I don't think that I have EVER built a snowman. Since those are the only things that would cause even the slightest enjoyment in the white world of Winnipeg during the months from October to oh... MAY... I have never enjoyed myself.



This year will be different.



Last year, from October until the beginning of April I was out of the country. Therefore I missed pretty much the entire season. I was even unlucky enough to to be gone for the most delicious of all holidays... Thanksgiving and Christmas and boy... did I ever miss them. So, because the majority of my year has been spent in blazing hot sun... I am ever so stoked for my body not to be sweaty, to wear clothes that will fashionably cover my entire self, and to experience H20 in a different state then I have in quite some time. But then I remember how I've never liked it... and it made me think... "Why?"



It's because I'm always cold. I've never been warm. No matter what I do in the winter, I'm always cold, and cold is a horrible thing to be. Soooo... I have come up with a master plan to enjoy the winter that I am so much looking forward to. It is... BEING WARM :) Sounds good huh? Well, if everything goes as planned, in a few short weeks I will be the proud owner of snowpants, Sorel boots, and a North Face jacket. I am going to wear it everywhere; to work, on the bus, to go shopping, and even to go out for dinner. Why the hell not? Who do I have to impress at frikin Boston Pizza? This plan is victory bound and I am going to, in the wise words of Nils Vik, KICK WINTER'S ASS! I really am, I was telling him how it's like this motivation just to dominate it... like..... it won't have anything on me when I'm decked out and sporting my new suit. I will enjoy winter this year and damnit... I'm gonna look good doing it. Also, with this great snow-suit, I will be able to do the winter activities that I've never been able to do before! I've had an offer from someone to teach me how to snowboard (Like I've never had that offered before... it NEVER happens... but maybe this year it will?, I'll maybe get to go tobagganing, maybe make a snow angel or two, and hell, I might even build an igloo.


That's right. This winter I'll be laughing; I will be living in warm bliss and I would advise everyone to take similar steps toward their potential warm bliss aswell. It will be grand and needless to say... I can't wait for winter 2007/2008.
