Canada, the hat of 'Murica, land of maple syrup, polar bears and unfortunately for myself:

ABSOLUTELY FUCKIN' FRIGID WINTERS!

After the snow hit yesterday and with it the subseqeint depression that comes with having your damn appendages try to turn into icicles upon leaving any heated dwelling I found myself muttering the following words both in my head and out loud in grimace:

"Why the fuck do I live in a place where the air tries to kill me half of the fucking year..?"

The worst part about this all is that it's not even "cold" yet in comparison to what is coming.. That knowing that the winter shit-storm has only just begun to show it's ugly face and that for literally the next half of the year or so I'm going to be fighting to stay warm against this bullshit winter climate nearly has me ready to immolate myself. Needless to say (but I'll say it anyways) I absolutely FUCKING HATE WINTER. Even the activities popular in this season like skiing, snowboarding, ski-doo'ing and ice skating have lost their once shiny appeal leaving me for lack of a better term grasping for activities that will keep me warm, unfrozen and stave off the insanity that comes with being cooped up inside for months on end trying to stay unfrozen.

Like fuck, sure Canada is a relatively safe country with beautiful terrain in spots, vast untouched resources and a somewhat lenient governing body (albeit full of fucking morons) but this winter shit seriously puts a damn damper on my will to live.. FML.

For you folks that still use Fahrenheit that +1 degree Celsius is basically +33 degrees Fahrenheit (or +274.15 Kelvin) which is JUST above the freezing point of water in most cases.. Considering the human body is about 80% water this spells disaster for my own personal comfort and the beginning of hypothermia for those caught out in the elements. Judging by how fuckin' cold my toes currently are and how hard the little space heater in the un-insulated camper I'm currently shacked up in is working it's safe to say that I'm probably not going to freeze to death just yet, but certainly won't be overly comfortable until I can get my ass in gear and find suitable winter dwelling.

Thoughts certainly go out to those doing the true hobo mode outside thing right now, while I'm not as bad off as some it's still kind of a pain in the ass to try and type with my damn fingers, toes and joints aching from arthritis and being cold..

Any country near the equator would be a fucking dream compared to this incoming canadian winter and with that being said I'm hoping to use my disdain for freezing my balls off here to fuel future success so I can go some place with a nicer climate next winter. Admittedly I fucked up this last year and didn't put enough money aside to get the fuck out of this frozen ass country for the winter after having sort of a shitty run months prior... But rather than wallow in defeat or an hero'ing I'm convinced that I can and will do better, get back to what works and hopefully regain the former glory I once held on our STEEM network.
