Summer Blues

(deep breath through both nostrils) AHHHH Summer!

Summer is so nice. warmth. biking. hiking. swimming. so many things make summer so incredible. And because the majority of people are out in the sun, subconsciously collecting vitamin b through their skin, everyone is so happy.
I took a pole a week at starbucks, every time a customer would buy a coffee and would look around outside and say, "So what do you think of this weather?" eight people out of ten would tell me that it's wonderful! "summer is my favorite time of year" many people would say.
I myself, would appear in the other two of ten people who said that they prefer the fall.

what about winter?

or spring?

I never found out why. I can only fit in so many words in the time that it takes to hand a person their coffee. anyway, why summer? apart from it being warm and easy to be active and the subliminal vitamin b happy drug, what's summer got that spring doesn't?

I know something.

summer has become my LEAST favorite time of the year for one simple reason.... ice cream trucks.
for those of you that know me, it isn't because I don't like ice cream. it's because of that song!
do do do do d d d do do do do d d d do do dum dum da da do do do da da da. you know that one that animaniacs ripped off when they did the song "the fifty US states and their capitals, by wakko warner" you know that one, the song that you memorized in seventh grade to help you ace the capitals test in geometry!
what I did it. the song was like gold for that test!
"baton rouge, Louisiana, indianapolis indiana, and columbus is the capital of ohio
there's Montgomery alabama, south helena montana and there's denver colorado and boise idaho..."
I could go on,
not because I have a phenomenal memory, but because I've had that song stuck in my head every day for this whole summer!
who says that ice cream trucks have to play that crap song!
ok ok
it isn't a crap song. didn't I just explain it's brilliance in geography?
I'm sure that whoever first had the idea to have an ice cream truck not only made bank, but did it using, at the time, state of the art audio equipment and song that was on the top ten charts!
I pray that ice cream truck owners or whatever you're called read this because you are ruining the seasons!
you no longer need to use the same wind up music box music that your great great great great great
great
great
great
great great great great grandparents used!
when do ice cream trucks start going in the morning anyway?
they usually wake me up around 9:30. is that allowed? I know this a free country, but pah-lease!!
and another thing!
why is it that any old beater can be an ice cream TRUCK??!! like Yaun just slaps some stickers of frozen treats on the side of his dented '98 dodge neon and plays the fifty US states and their capitals, by wakko warner, without the lyrics that makes the song brilliant, and as recorded on grandma's old wind up music box, and drive around at any time in any place (no, it doesn't need to be an actual road, but side walks and fields and baseball diamonds and park paths!) and peddle frozen treats at jacked up prices to kids who are wondering if taking things from this guy is breaking the sacred commandment of youth, (never talk to strangers) and giving in to their desire for sugar that their parents are trying to break them of, which teaches the kid to never take their parents seriously, and providing a reason for people everywhere to dislike the beautiful SUMMER!!
gasp
thank you that is all.
