So there I was, just about to get out of my car in the NG Rolling Meadows parking lot this morning, when the weather report came on. I usually don't pay attention to the weather reports, but this time I caught the words "100% chance of snow, 4-8 inches this evening".

After that, I couldn't focus all day at work. Just sitting there in my cube and all I had to look forward to is another nightmare commute home. And yes, it took me well over an hour to drive back for the second day in a row. I decided to transfer all my negative thoughts to the following song:

An Ode To Snow

I used to like snow
way back in the day
To me it meant "no school"
and more time to play

My sis would make angels
I would make forts
We'd go sledding in our snow suits
or enjoy other snow sports

But now there's no school
No school bus to take
I still have to show up at work
when before I wouldn't even have been awake

I gotta get up earlier
and shovel my driveway
But by the time I finish
it's past 7:05 -- gay!

Then there's the long commute
in my G35
I still love my baby girl
but she's rear-wheel drive

I try to make it anyways
on a wet road full of salt
while accidents and gapers
bring traffic to a dead halt

Finally I make it to work
and of course I'm quite late
The way back's even more fun
Ooh boy, I can't wait

Now don't get me wrong
I grew up in Chicago
But it's already March
I want the sun, not this snow!

Maybe I should be more positive
and see snow as a blessing
Why am I so angry these days
am I just PMS-ing?

Most likely I'm not
after all, I am a man
Anyways, I'm afraid
this song's gotten out of hand

Most likely by now
You all think I'm some flamer
So I best end it here
before it gets any lamer
