Spring forward is deviously criminal. This “thing”, this so called “daylight savings” nonsense that happens every year when some unseen force snatches my time, literally steals an hour from my life. And we sheep just sit back and accept this? There is nothing more valuable than time and we’re OK with just giving it way?

“But we get it back when we ‘fall back’”.

Shut up. Who cares? “Fall Back” (which is awesome by the way, my favorite day of the year next to Christmas Eve) isn’t enough to make up for this travesty – I love it. But it isn’t enough.

And don’t give me “just wake up earlier.”

The kids and the cats woke me up at 3:30 in the morning – Oh, I’m sorry. It was actually 4:30, which turned to 5 so quickly my head was spinning so when I finally collected myself, it was 6am.

You cattle and your sick, twisted love of sunshine are a bunch of idiots! Can’t you see that The Man is taking your time one hour at a…er, time under the fiendish false promise of what? A little more light?

If you want more light in your life, you wake up earlier or buy a lamp. Because if I want my time back, you know what I have to do? Get a time machine.

Which one is more doable?

I can’t be alone in this.

However, after saying all that, yesterday was a beautiful day. Just gorgeous. The luminous sun seemed to shine forever. The bleached clouds streaked lively across the sea of an azure sky. The flowers were in bloom, the people smiled…

And it’s actually pretty nice today, too. It’s almost 5 and the sun’s still shining as a gentle breeze blows, carrying the birds as they sing their carefree song…

What was I saying?
