July and summertime
When I was a kid living in New York, July used to mean so much to me.
#1 NO SCHOOL
#2 DAY CAMP
#3 Can go to sleep whatever time I wanted
#4 Went to Yankees Stadium and Shea Stadium
#5 No winter coats, mittens (!), scarfs, ski caps, or goulashes (!)
#6 No runny noses
As an adult living in South Florida? July is just another month. I'm serious. I don't have any kids, and don't go to school, so the whole "July = vacation" thing just doesn't mean anything to me anymore. I keep reminding myself that school's out when I'm driving and see kids/teens walking around during school hours.
At my day job, I just meet production deadlines. I have a white board with red markers indicating job codes and due dates. I rush to gets projects out to meet each month's billing cycle. So July 31 has the same meaning as October 31.
In terms of weather, in Florida it's always hot, sunny, and rainy. (Yet in July, the rain can get pretty bad at times.) In New York, July = beach. In Florida, one is hard pressed to see the season changes.
In many ways, I always associated July and summertime with youthful innocence, excitement, and not having responsibilty. But once one becomes an adult, it's just another month.
In high school, I started to see how July began to lose its luster: some of my classmates who were around 15+ began to get summer jobs or went to summer school to get more credits. I finally gave into the nerd peer pressure to be productive during summer vacations, and that was the beginning of the end for July.
July 4th? Fireworks? ONE DAY OFF? Big deal.
I wouldn't even have known it was July if not for work due dates.

Damn, what have we created with RAWRimATiger????????????
And why isn't he AT WORK???????
MUAHAHAHAHAHHA!
why does he want to rim a tiger
yo mama
WARNING:
RAWRIMATIGER is not R.A.W.
I second that.
change your name "rawrimatiger"
change it to something more fitting like, idiotrimatiger or someoneshouldkillmerimatiger.
or maybe even
worthlessdickheadrimatiger.
you know, something like that.
having w.a.r. around doing impersonations of me is bad enough, and now youre piling on too.
note to all you imitators -
go get your own name.
first off asshole nobodys fucking impersonating you. your not worth my time,second off FUCKING DIE! this was my first time on here and i didnt even know your sorry ass was here. FUCK OFF.
I went to your blog and its lame kid,
real lame.
take my advice:
#1 - put up some good content first, then start creating links to your site.
#2 - settle down.
just because youre a dork doesn't mean you cant have a good site up someday, you just have to put a little more work into it.
yea i went to yours dickhead and its not that fucking great. DONT FUCKING TALK DOWN TO ME. dont talk to me like im a fucking retard. IM NOT. CALM DOWN? why should i calm down when some idiot is making comments about me? WHY? its fucking insane
thanks for leaving a comment though.
feel free to leave as many as you want, I need all the hits I can get.
and I got news for you kid,
youre gonna have idiots making comments about you for the rest of your life, its not insane-
Its something we all have to go through.
so grow up and start getting used to it now because its part of life.
now go get your mommy to give you a hug, or suck on a pacifier, or do whatever it is you normally do to calm down when you get like this.
your the one who needs to grow up dickface. your the one cting like a baby. obviously your a huge loser becuase you go around making fun of people. seriously go kill yourself. im sure nobody in this world wants you around.
I guess your right.
i am cting like a baby.
Ill stop now.
you just keep going.
the floor is all yours.
OKAY, LETS CLEAR SOME THINGS UP.
My real name is Warren Alan Wright.
For quite a while Ive been leaving comments on blogs as W.A.R.
W.A.R. just happens to be my initials and the nickname has stuck, so that's why I use it.
its not to sound tough or anything, and actually im not really that controversial.
Just so everyboody knows, r.a.w. is not me, its somebody who posts on some of the same blogs as me, and does an occasionally accurate mockery.
I can take it, because sometimes its funny, and its not the first time Ive been mocked, so whatever...
No big deal.
now i hear damian and tony gave RAW a website when they promised ME a website.
now that hurts
now i see raw is insulting this person called rawrimatiger.
i even checked out raw's blog and saw them fighting there.
i just wanna say that i cant
believe that raw
thinks hes a GOD
he is so full of himself
hes been copying me for years
and now hes copying rawrimatiger
who is a cool person
* Some people need to get over themselves. i have had rawrimatiger email address since i was 12. your not that special and i wouldn't copy you. really
* do you think i want to copy you? your probably some fat balding pedophile that nobody likes and that everyone would like to see dead. so go screw yourself.
HEY WAR, IF YOUR INITIALS ARE WAR, WHY IS YOUR NAMED WARREN ALAN WRIGHT! YOU F___ UP! YOU ffffU up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay you got me
i really dont want to put
my real name on the blogs
but since no one is watching
my real name is warren allen richards
sh!!!
I gotta admit,
anonymous really nailed you on that one w.a.r.
or should i say w.a.w.?
good job anonymous, you win a cigar.
