Optimus Crime:  Please Give My Word To Your Mother.

A total lack of work-ethics, and an excess of sunshine and sugary beverages!  


As it seems like gorgeous weather and lazing about go hand in hand, I've fallen into a similar "how can anyone expect me to be productive in this sunshine" trap as my compatriot OptimuscrimeMontreal.

I was supposed to meet with KC to talk about some YoRodeo! business. I was also supposed to clean my room. And let's not forget the four looming screenprinting jobs in the next two weeks. But then I roll out of bed, and what am I faced with outside?

Glowing Weather-Related Bliss!

The state of the OptimuscrimeHalifax Nation:
Outdoor Temperature: 24°C
Indoor Temperature: 20°C
Morale: Through the roof
Work Ethic: Nonexistent

I called KC, and we both decided that there was no sense in even trying to work today. I thought for a moment about cleaning my room, and then Jonah came over, followed shortly after by Meghan. A decision was made instead to spend the most precious hours of beautiful sunshine on our front-porch/stoop drinking Lime-Aid, and eating Veggieburgers. It was Greg, Jonah, Meghan and myself. It was a good plan, and we executed it perfectly. It even turned out serendipitously to have been timed perfectly to just miss the neighbourhood TroubleMakers walking home from school. No basketballs in the head today, friends!

Our stoop-sit was a complete success, and has been agreed upon as the formula for the soon-to-be-announced, weekly 6015 Willow Street Stoop and Beverage Parties. The days/times are being worked out right now, and flyers will be circulated. This summer will destroy all others past!
