I am a wimp
today was a nice day (and still is). After lunch, the sun came out and things really started to warm up. I took a ride over to the local Wal-Mart with my window down. When i was about half way there, i found myself doing something despicable! I was turning on the A/C. What's wrong with me. I could have rolled down another window, maybe put back the sunroof, or just enjoyed basking in the warm sun, but noooooo, i chose cold. What a sissy girly man! Why would i be so offended by my own preference to be slightly chillled? Well, it all started when.......mumble, mumble, mumble... The summer between my junior and senior year at Streator High School, the family took a vacation in Florida. While visiting, I bought a 1987 Ford Mustang GT with a 5.0 liter engine. The very definition of muscle car. It was red...and awesome...and...the air was busted. So i got it charged before i left and it was a cool ride home (yes i drove it back to Illinois). Well, i soon found out that there must have been a serious leak b/c in about 2 weeks the cold air was gone. AND I NEVER GOT IT FIXED! I was lucky to get a cool breeze on a summer day, and whenever it rained and i couldn't roll the windows down so i had to rely on the not quite cold vent. Anyways, this experience only made me tougher...tough as nails...i didn't ever need the air on, and in fact, preferred no air after a while b/c it seemed too cold for the car. I drove that car until...dun dun dun...THIS PAST SUMMER. That's right, 6 YEARS without an A/C in the car. But when it was time to get a new car, air came with the bundle. Now i have become sickened by how much of a wimp i've become. Now, i am turning on the air in the springtime, turning on the heat in the fall time, cooking pizza rolls on a pizza pan, desiring my apartment to continue to have the sweet fragrance of cotton candy at all times. I am taking more showers and picking out my soap by how it smells. I own a million pairs of shoes and wear them accordingly. I "appreciate" more and more types of music and enjoy a nice cup of overpriced coffee-like beverage and a book over slaming a Christmas cola and an intense video game. Right now the balance is acceptable, but if i give in to any more of this "civilized" behavior, i might become as polite and boring as the majority of the female population...this my friends is a scary thought. So, guys, the next time N'SYNC comes on the radio change it back to Megadeath! When you step in dog poo, don't whine like a little girl, proudly announce it to everyone before you scrape it off onto your neighbor's front porch! Eat more red meat! Have a beer with that bucket of hot wings! Pick up a fresh xbox controller and cry out, "this is rediculous you stupid camper!" Pick your scabs! Show off your scars! And don't let them forget...you are forever awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
