Every once and a while I have morning that seems like it goes on forever.  I did not get up that much earlier than I normally do and I tend to enjoy the early morning, but this morning just feels different.  I had this weird feeling in the pit on my stomach and I could not put my finger on what it was that I was feeling.  And then it occurred to me, I am annoyed.

While I am at times annoyed with certain things I rarely dwell in a constant state of general annoyance.  For the most part I am pretty optimistic, even to a fault, but today I am just down right annoyed.  This state of perpetual annoyance has inspired me to write a series of blogs called “Things that annoy me”.  Eventually I know that my insipid optimism will rear its ugly head and the annoyance will be repelled, but in the meantime I am  going to take advantage of this great opportunity to forever immortalize the things that annoy me just because I am rarely in a mood that would allow my to do so.

Things That Annoy Me- Part One

I am annoyed by sunshine.  I never in my life thought that my love for sunshine could even possibly be dissuaded but living for only one year in southern california has turned me against the sun.

Every morning I wake up and watch the news while I get ready and every morning it is the same forecast, sunny.  I think that the weathermen on the news might even secretly despise the sunshine.  I am fairly certain that there must be some amount of training that meteorologists must go through in order to stand in front of a green screen and announce the weather to the rest of humanity.  I think it is safe to say that the meteorologists in southern California are not using there full and extensive training finding new ways to say that it is going to be sunny out.

I can not even remember the last time that it rained or was even overcast past 9 in the morning.  Every night I pray that I will get a nice Oregon style drizzle and that it will last for a good 3-4 weeks.  Then when the sun came back it might be able to appreciate it more.  Until I get some substantial rain I will continue to shake my fist at the heavens and dream of a nice hoodie and a rainy, chilly day.  Mark Twain said that “familiarity breeds contempt” and that is probably the case with me and the sun I just hope I can get over this problem.  One thing is for sure though, I live in the wrong state if i am going to dislike sunshine.
