Summer Bummer: Sunny Afternoon By The Kinks


Usually when it's summer, people are excited as they go out and put their vacation plans in motion.  These guys are lucky as they have cool place to spend the summer and some cash to spend it with.  Unfortunately there are some of us who have to grapple with a lot of problems this summer.  It's putting a mental, emotional and financial strain that has us struggling to keep our heads above water.  The only luxury we have left is some free time to laze in the afternoon sun.  That kind of summer reminds me of the song "Sunny Afternoon" by The Kinks.

What's supposed to be the best time to relax and enjoy is now turning into the most tense and stress-filled time of the year. It's bad enough that's blazing hot both day and night and now we have to deal with all this summer bummers.  When we hope that things would get better, they get worse.  Right now an afternoon nap or a boring day is the only luxury we can get.  I heard of turning up the heat but this is too much.

Well it's night time again and thing's have quieted down a bit.  Well that's a momentary break from the stressful developments that life throws in our way.  As I get myself ready for bed, I do so hope that this bad juju will pass away.  This summer is turning out to be a real bummer.  I just hope next year won't be that way.
