SHIFTING SEASONS
So, yeah – hair on the soap bar, not really a big fan of that. I mean, I realize there’s not much one can do about hair breaking off and getting attached to a bar of soap. I’m just saying, that it couldn’t hurt to run that bar of soap under the water for a bit so the hair can come off, no?
The other day, I noticed something on my way home from work. Truth is, I’ve been “noticing” it for years now. I’m now thoroughly convinced the seasons have shifted down by two months.
Spring comes later now. We just had a dump of snow on us and the date was April 6th. It doesn’t really feel like spring until we’re in late May now. Summer only feels like summer because the kids are let out of jail to torment us in late June. But as far as the weather goes, we’re not really seeing summer weather until well into July.

So that means fall comes later and if it wasn’t for the light dusting of snow we tend to get over Christmas, you’d barely know we’re coming into winter.
I’m not sure I like the idea of a shift in seasons. The months you looked forward to, don’t have the same allure now. How many of us used to plan for the beaches on May 24 weekends? Now we’re wondering if we’ll be staying in for pot luck with a couple of logs crackling in the fireplace.
Well, at least we’ll get to spend a day lying in the yard with the incredulous heat on our backs for Thanksgiving :/

Kingdom Of Heaven: The story of Balian’s quest for redemption and his battles against those who seek power in it’s name. This is an excellent movie whose message is perhaps more important today than it was then.
Dawkins tackles it all in his no holds barred approach to whether God exists. The stance? The probability of it? Very unlikely.
"Hopes and Fears” and “Under The Iron Sea” by Keane get constant play from my iTunes. Find out why their music is so good. After all they were the band that inspired Coldplay.
As Marcus Fenix, you fight a war against the immense Locust Horde, which not only out powers but outnumbers you, your squad, and the entire force of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Time to pull out the stops in a game that delivers the next-generation in tactical combat systems in Gears of War.
