the issue of heat

this is unbelievable. the heat is unbelievable.
now let me tell you why i hate the weather:
1. Its irreversible. If it was winter, and you're like oh shit its cold. All you have to do is wear nice warm socks, thermals, shirts, layers, jacket, gore-tex, boots. and SHIT.. you can practically have summer in your living room. But with Summer, thats impossible. You can't take away the heat..., you can try by going swimming, going to the beach, or turning $1000 central aircon on, or going to bookshop, going to shopping mall. you can try... but its temporary. Once you leave the shopping mall, you're like oh fuck all over again.
2. Sweat. I love sweat in winter, because of its origins. But in summer, its bullshit. Im a heavy sweater, and usually you wouldn't want to be near me after i skateboard/basketball. nicknamed the 'swimming pool' because of the patch of sweat on my back, summer means... at least 2 showers, 2 change of underwear and tshirt (yes i sweat down there too), which leads to more washing, more laundry, more hanging up the clothes, more taking down the clothes, more folding the clothes. Such a little thing can cause such a big hassle.
3. SKIN CANCER. I'm not really concerned about that, but just writing it down so i have more reasons.
4. Missed opportunities. With summer, you start to really think. A lot of brain is wasted on thinking.. oh is it hot tomorrow, when is the UV ray going to be the strongest (2pm), when should i go out, what should i drink, should i eat an ice cream, will it make me fat, does my ass look big in these cut up nuthuggers. Another thing, i haven't touched my skateboard, or done did any kind of sport event the whole summer. Can't touch em !! With weather like 38degrees or STRAIGHT 40degrees... NO WAY !
5. money. You know you're spending more money in summer. Apparently the government has just made a mark up on the price of electricity/gas so that people would use LESS air-condition, so that the people in EMERGENCY can use it. Like CUM FUCKING ON, its 44 degrees in my house, im sweating like a pig, this is my 3rd shower and im sweating as I walk out of the shower.... I think we have a PERFECT scenario for a emerfuckingency.
6. and then you start hating on the government for making summer worse by not supplying public transport (refer to jinn's post), cutting my electricity (twice), and water restrictions still in full effect. CUtting my electricity is BULLSHIT. electricity is the new oxygen of the 21st century. I was practically sitting at home sweating and shitting my self (in the toilet). no electricity means= no air conditioning, can't open my garage door, no tv, no computer, no internet, no laptop, no phone because you can't charge it, no listening to ipod (no battery). So the only thing you can do is GO OUT.
But then you're faced with two problems:
1. do you really want to go out on a fucking 45 degree day.
2. who are you going out with ? you have no phone, you can't call anyone, you don't remember anyone's phone number because youre self-centred, are u really going to walk around the city hoping you'll bump into someone because youre a fucking socialite ?
OR
3. sit at home and shit
