It's November.

It's about time, too. I can't tell you how long I waited for this month to come. Well, 10 months. That's how long I waited. The point is... I'm thrilled that it's finally here. I've never been a fan of October or the fall months. I realize November is still a fall month, and home to the fall holiday, Thanksgiving, but it's just so much better. I don't much care for the brown, red, and orange of the fall leaves. Everything just emits an aura of death. Everything is dying and falling to the ground. A depressing way to look at it, I realize, but it's how I feel. Not my favorite month. not my favorite season or holiday time. Especially Halloween. I don't mind Thanksgiving so much.

The reason I like November so much as that it's finally close enough to start looking at the end of the year. On a lesser note, my birthday lies in November (this year it lies on Thanksgiving Day). I like November because winter is just over the horizon. While I don't care for fall, winter is, by far, my favorite season and I can't wait for it to come and rear it's chilly head. I love cold weather, and while Florida doesn't get cold per se, it's a blessing in comparison to the sweltering heat of the summer months. Even fall is terribly warm. I love the winter, I love the cooler weather, and I love the fact that the closer it gets to Christmas, the nicer people get. I don't know how it is in the rest of the world, but people are grumpy in the summer.

I love Christmas. I love the spirit of it. I love the people during Christmas time (save for the angry grandmother that stands in line, ready to strike with a curling iron if you grab the last Tickle Me Elmo). It's just a nice, enjoyable time. I'm much happier in the winter. I feed off the positive energy produced by everyone else and I just feel better. Okay, I don't feed off of energy. I'm not one of those wacko nutjobs that talk about karma and energy and whatnot.

Election Day is tomorrow. Here's hoping John McCain wins, even though I've got a terrible feeling that he won't. Barack Obama, while a nice man and a charismatic man, is not the right choice for this nation. He will lead us down a path of darkness and destruction and that is not where I want to go... though I suppose it will give an opportunity to leave the country for Sweden. It's nice in Sweden. Only 9 million people, spread out among a large country. And snow. Lots and lots of snow. Also, they the Ice Hotel. Fantastic place. I've never seen it, but I saw a TV show about it. Looks beautiful.

That's about it. That's plenty. I haven't written in a while, so this should hold you until I write something again.

Hockey's on. More importantly, it's the Devils.

Hej då.
