Abored Abroad: It's (not) raining, it's (not) pouring, and the Sun is waaarrrrmmmiiinnnggg 4/1/2015

I saw grass today!

Hahaha April Fools!

This place is still sandier than any beach I've ever been to.

But man-oh-man I really had you going huh? Made you look quite the April Fool...

OWNED.

While there hasn't been a sudden increase in the chlorophyl here in Bahrain, it is getting warmer here! I say that with mixed emotions - and often times a mixed drink with lots of ice to offset said emotions...

I am pleased it is getting warmer, that means the year is getting on and the summer is right around the corner.

I like the summers here because I leave during them.

If you find someone that really loves the summers here you know they are insane or a demon who fell out of hell, so to be safe it would be best to avoid them and maybe stick a sign in their yard.

After all, signs are there to keep us safe...

Bob? BOB! DON'T DO IT, BOB! DON'T YOU FROLIC!

OH GOD NO! BOB WHY!? WHY GOD, WHY!? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM SO SOON, LORD!? HE JUST FROLICKED A TEENY BIT! OH VENGEFUL GOD!

So there is at least some good that comes out of the temperature rising.

But, you know what comes with a rising temperature?

A RISING GODDAMN TEMPERATURE.

ISN'T THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU?!?

It isn't easy being a scientist from America who lives in a country where they speak in Celsius...

Oh, it is 65 outside?

THAT MEANS I AM EITHER FROZEN TO DEATH, DYING FROM THE HEAT, OR INSANELY COMFORTABLE.

So the temperature battle has many levels for me.

Levels. Like a video game.

Not layers like an onion.

No layers...not is this friggin' heat.

You get one layer here in the summer -

sweat.

I have never been a hot weather kind of guy. Here, let me give you examples of where I will most likely be or not be:

Inside an oven?

Gets pretty hot in an oven.

You won't find me there.

The beach?

That place is just packed full of sun.

You won't find me there.

Mercury?

Sunny as hell.

You won't find me there.

An air conditioned bar during happy hour?

Not much sun...and cheap drinks.

Damn straight you'll find me there.

See? It is quite simple.

So what can you do here when the temperature starts to rise and going outside shifts from being a daytime activity to a nighttime activity to a "fuck that shit" kind of activity?

You turn on your AC and you stick wet rags in the freezer and you wait for the damn fall season.

tssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

So while I don't run face first into the Sun with open arms and sweaty pits, I do sort of look forward to the reminder that I do live in the desert and not where I grew up. The winters here are so damn polite I seem to have forgotten about how hot it can actually get.

That, and I am running out of stuff to whine about.

I got a new computer and I have a new YouTube channel where I am starting to get into the swing of editing movies and pictures and all that.

I went to the "local" (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) GNC and got some stuff to help me be more productive in the gym.

I have a solution to my Deathtrap Mobile (DTM) problem - WHICH IS STILL A DAMN PROBLEM WITH A TAPED ON SIDE-VIEW MIRROR - and things, in general, are moving right along.

Apart from work being insane and my only break for 7 months being spent supervising about 12 teenagers with massive hormones in a foreign country 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - things are just rolling right now. So a little heat won't slow me down I bet.

Hey - how hot could it be?

And no, I refuse to go back and read my blog about how hot it was here.

BUT YOU CAN! YOU SHOULD TOTALLY READ ALL MY STUFF HERE AND SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND JUST KIND OF LOVE ME IN GENERAL YAYYYYY!

I could really use some support on my new YouTube page if you have the time - Subscribe, drop a comment or like a video, just let me know you're there! Anything and everything is appreciated!
