Hello Darkness, My Old Friend

Why am I turning movies on at 5pm? It’s dark out, what else am I supposed to do!? I wouldn’t call “darkness” my friend. Maybe more like a necessary acquaintance. I get that there’s a cycle nature has and winter is an important part of it. But this whole getting dark at 4pm is for the birds. Not to mention… it’s cold out there. And I’m in Florida!

Just the other day I had to prove my manhood so I went swimming in a cold pool. That’s part of winter, too. Water = cold! The point isn’t that no one was even there and I was only trying to impress myself like an idiot ❄️💦🏊🏻‍♀️ but I had to also show that you don’t need to shave your chest for a polar plunge. That goes for you too, women. 🤔

Don’t believe everything you see in Amazon commercials.

When it’s dark so early in the evening and all I hear is the sound of silence, my body thinks it’s 9pm and what do I do at 9pm? I spend 30 minutes looking for a movie and then go to sleep because I’m too tired to start a movie at 930. Even if it’s only actually 630. I recently watched Leo on Netflix. It’s really funny. Are Adam Sandler movies getting better and better lately, or is that just my opinion? I also loved You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah with Adam Sandler and his family in that one, too.

What do you do in winter when it’s dark in the afternoon? Any other suggestions besides movies and swimming to prove my tender-sided manliness?
