tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun

















Every time the weather gets warmer it makes me want to watch a baseball game, listen to the Replacements (Hootenanny, specifically), and watch Anderson Cooper.

It's weird how one spring, one that wasn't even that long ago, somehow set the precedent for everything that would be warm weather and sunshine to me for probably the rest of my life. I don't understand it, but the first day I can go outside without a jacket always makes me want to read the same stories I read two years ago this spring, relive the same jokes, listen to "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers, watch Jon and Stephen and Anderson (Keith doesn't come in till the summer, a little later) and write everything that really matters to me in a red notebook.


I also want to wear shorts, and am going to change into a pair after I finish this, but that's beside the point.

I just wonder, sometimes, why it was that spring - 2007, it was a good one, an awesome one even - that became my idea of What Spring Is, always.
