Godiva Day

Happy April Fools Day! I've never really been able to celebrate April Fools Day. My parents wedding anniversary is April 1st, so I really can't play pranks on them or I'll feel really guilty. They gave me existence and what do I give them? Toothpaste Oreos. That's a good prank. You guys can use that if you want.
What I really want to talk about today is Alex Day. Last Christmas he released a song called Forever Yours which made it to number 4 in the UK charts. The amazing thing about this is that Alex doesn't have a record label. And he wants to do it again. His new song is called Lady Godiva and it's brilliant. Before you ask, no the girl in the video is not actually naked. It's a flesh colored leotard. The song is available on iTunes staring today.  I suggest that you go buy it because if he makes it onto the charts again, the internet could be taken more seriously as a community. We have the power to show record companies that they are not needed, which makes them scared.
So if you would like to buy the song, it's only one iTunes search away. You could also start watching Alex's videos on YouTube. His username is nerimon. He's really funny and sarcastic so if you like that kind of stuff then you should totally follow him.

First Day of Spring!

So today is the vernal equinox. Cool. Only, in my town it feels like it's late June. It's 80 degrees outside. My house is within five miles of Lake Erie. Northern Ohio should not be 80 degrees on March 20th!

Of course, I know that complaining about good weather makes me sound like the killer of all joy but I find a situation and I extend it to the worst thing that could happen. Example: 80 degrees on March 20th is because of the holes in the ozone and that will lead to global warming, which leads to temperatures rising and now my children will never see snow or a polar bear or maybe won't exist because of the flooding of Earth. And I guess if you're one of those people who doesn't think that global warming was caused by humans that's.... fine. I'm not going to argue with you because I know that you won't change your opinion.

In my book, it's been spring for like 19 days. When I was a kid I had a system. That system said that the first day of Winter was December 1, the first day of Spring was March 1, the first day of Summer was June 1 and the first day of Autumn was September 1. Of course, I know now about solstices and equinoxes but I still like the system. The equinoxes and solstices change every year, whereas in my system everything stays the same. And think about it, when school ends for the year in late May or June, do you say that it's not summer break until the solstice? No. I know it isn't accurate, but I like my system.

So do you guys have any cool vernal equinox things that you do? Probably not. It's not generally a celebrated day...
