The Spring EquiROCKS
Posted By: J.M.B | March 20, 2010 | 1 comment
I hope you all have enjoyed the first day of Spring thus far! To me, the change of season from Winter to Spring is the most crucial. This day marks the end to my yearly struggle to stay afloat in life. You see, I have Seasonal Affective Disorder- and to make it through winter alive is a great feat. Whether you share this diagnosis, or not- chances are today is awesome for you. If you are sad to see winter go, I care not to know you.
No matter what the scenario may be, the Spring season is cause for celebration of life. The sun is out, the air is warm, and there’s a smell to it that hits you like a brick to your soul. A magical brick with pastel-colored wings…
Anyway- here are some ways that I go about celebrating the rebirth of this glorious season:
1) I clean out my motherf*cking car. For almost 6 months, the inside of my Civic looks like my life exploded. Cigarette ashes, reciepts, wrappers, winter jackets- pretty much anything you can imagine has claimed a spot in there. I’m not a messy person either, but I just cannot seem to bring myself to stand outside and clean out the car when it’s cold. Thankfully, for the next 7-8 months, my car will be clean again, and I can hang that Giants helmet air freshener with the pride it deserves to be hung with.
2) I switch over my wardrobe. This usually involves some panic. You would think I plan for this day like the mall plans for Christmas the day after Halloween, but every year, it somehow manages to sneak up on me. And when it does, and I go to re-organize my closet, the reality that I need to go shopping sets in. It’s a blessing and and a curse, though. I’ll take any excuse for some retail therapy. Bye-bye, annoying jackets that I always have to check at the door for $2!! Bye-bye, ugly turtle-necks that I guess are kinda cute if you have to keep warm! Bye-bye, baggy clown sweatpants!! HELLLLOOOO cute logo tee’s, capris and flats!! Just a few more months away from the adorable sundresses that barely cover my ass!!
3) No more excuses- time to get in shape! It’s beautiful out now- I can exercise without having to painstakingly force myself to get to a gym! I can work out and get my daily dose of Vitamin D at the same time by going for a walk, hike, bike ride- whatever. Summer is coming and that glorious sunshine will be my motivation to look hot as sin in a two-piece. (As if I don’t already 
)
…It’s over, guys- we made it. No more icy roads, or having to scrape 6-inch layers of snow off our cars. No more wasting gas warming it up! No more smoking half a cigarette because it’s just “too f*cking cold to be out here.” No more annoying-ass layers of clothing that make you look fat! No more pale skin, no more holiday over-stuffing poundage- no more not being able to do shit because of a blizzard!! WE ARE IN THE CLEAR!!
I’m sorry, but thank God for Springtime, man. Hallelujah.
