Sure, this is not popular opinion by any means, but let me explain. It's winter, it's cold, it's dark, I wear the same old, crusty jacket that weights around 2kg and zipper constantly breaks. I have to wear heavy, chunky boots and my feet still get wet if it's snowing or raining. It gets dark around 4pm at worst, 5pm at best. Stray animals are freezing, especially dogs who can not, like cats, fit into some small spaces, but even cats can get sick or freeze to death. Humans are having issues with flu and cold. Most people sneeze and cough without using tissue or at least hand and just spread their germs generously all around. I am sick almost during all freaking winter, which is not just from December 22nd to March 21st, it's bloody since middle of November until April! So please... Winter is romantic and great only for rich people or at least people who can afford worm home, nice worm car and high quality clothes and boots. The rest of us feel like shit most of the time. And as I mentioned, animals are mostly dying. Stray cats also have a thing in January and February where male cats become thin and sick of their hormones and female cats usually get pregnant. Most kittens don't survive, those that do, usually are hated by people who hate everything that's alive and who are trying to kill them every time they get. But I digress...
Why I hate these Holidays besides weather, cold and darkness.. Forcing on us feeling of happiness, joy, like we should jump and sing and be happy because someone invented that this is the time of year we should be happy and generous and be with family and have celebrations, like on other days of year we just shouldn't. Forced Holiday music I hear everywhere, my brain is going to explode from repeating the same festive melodies again and again. And since I mentioned explosions...
Fucking firecrackers! I hate them with all my heart. I hate fireworks too but at least they are expensive so they are much more rare, they are not that loud and they are not that often, and they can look nice, at least. Firecrackers are most idiotic, most useless, most damaging thing humanity ever invented and gave it to children and stupid adolescents and even more stupid adults to "play" with it. Make explosions and cheer like that's the best thing they ever fucking did. Possibly it is, because they are mostly quite stupid. Why is making dangerous explosion so fun? Who knows? Some are bragging they "love" scaring dogs and want them to die from heart-attack. So there is that special kind of humans who "celebrates" by wanting to kill someone's puppy. Then there are those great parents who allow or even encourage their children to play with literal explosives. The thing that can blow away your hand! Or make someone lose hearing. I was wearing earbuds today as protection as usual, but even with that I screamed like a little girl when one of those stupid things exploded nearby, it's so terribly loud! And as stupid New Year gets closer, I can hear it more and more often, from morning to after midnight, because idiots never sleep and don't mind cold. They have nothing better to do in life but to stand outside fire and throw explosives which contain God-knows-what gas inside, not tested, possibly carcinogenic, can blind you, make you lose hearing, fingers, hand and whatever else. And they pollute, air and ground, that plastic never degrades. But it's "fun", right? Because why bother with cleaning your home, making a tree, buying gifts for loved ones, making dinner or lunch, playing music or anything that is pleasant when you can torture every living being by dropping bombs whole fucking day!
Holidays... preach love, family, gatherings by fire with presents, while outside is snowing and music plays softly. In theory. In reality, cold dark day and long night, dogs freezing outside and dying from hear-attacks and epi attacks, people are wearing all black, grey and brown and look sad or angry, because they are cold and tired and have no sun and vitamin D. A lot of us don't have anyone to "celebrate" whatever this is, except maybe for our cats or dogs (which we can and do every day, so what's the difference?), a lot of us are alone, eating too much sugar, not daring to remove earplugs or earphones 24 hours a day, and yes... since nothing is working God help you if you get sick in any way on this glorious few days!
This is my blog, so I can rant whenever I can. Fight me if you have any arguments against, I stand my ground. This SUCKS!
