Peace Out Motherfuckers!



I'm out! Time to go enjoy the unofficial kick-off of summer. Why does it always have to be unofficial? Can't we just say that summer starts on that last weekend of May? Yes, yes, I know that June 21st is the official start because the summer solstice is the longest day of the year when the Earth's axial tilt is most inclined towards the sun at its maximum of 23° 26', which will occur at 5:16 PM this year, and that the word solstice comes from the Latin words sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still). Everybody knows that. But who really gives a shit? The summer starts Memorial Day and ends Labor day. That's it. End of story. Next person that calls Memorial Day the "unofficial" start of the summer in front of me is getting "officially" punched in the face.
