I aint complaining, believe me I aint. But there is just one thing about when the hot weather hit Toronto that bugs me.................... these Toronto people duz completly forget hot to dress properly.
I guess that is what duz happen when it is winter 8 months of the year and people duz get excited once they feel a lil warmth on their skin but still some of these people duz really get carried away by the warm weather.
For instance today I out enjoying the sunshine and the heat on mi skin but everytime I look around I seeing fashion faux pas like dem going out of style. Like the old white fella at the subway station wearing shorts and got dem half pull down like the young fellas duz wear except he aint wearing no underwear and all we seeing is hairy butt crack staring at everybody. Lawd ave merci!
Or the young sista wearing the backless outfit with her breasts push up but still all her bra straps and the back of the bra showing out. I mean I not sure if there is actually any time when it is fashinonable to be showing off your bra but clearly this outfit was not it especialy since the bra din matching the top at all at all.
And the always present spandex wearers. Tell me why you would wear white spandex pants and not wear proper undergarments under it. I mean wunnah trying to give me nightmares or just scare me from leaving my house this summer. Cuhdear!
And no I aint complaining about showing skin. I accept that some will always show more than they should but what I got issues with is the lack of fashion, the styles that aint no style at all
Hence I will proposing spring refresher fashion classes to help people recover fashion sense in the wake of a brutal winter. Mek them mandatory too.

Weatherman say
One thing about living up North in this place. When the weather nice ya duz really appreciate it. And yes I would prefer to live in a place that warm all round like Buh-bay-dus but alas its not to be at the moment. Still when you living someplace like Toronto and you see the weather heat up to something livable after a cruelly cold and bitter winter it duz really change ya disposition and make you appreciate things a lil different.
When 30 Celsius is ya norm ya tend to take it for granted. Here bram we see 15C after a cold cold winter and we looking to celebrate; the shorts come out, the sunglasses and we feeling like we in de tropics.
And annuda thing ya duz realize and its strange cause you don't realize it til afterwards but during the winter people duz be real real scarce. It doesn't seem so at the time cause unless is big snowstorm you still see a fair amount of hustle and bustle in the everyday goings and comings during the winter and the subways and malls duz still be packed but once the nice weather hit even for a day you realize just how big this place is wid plenty plenty people as they just seem to come out of the woodwork, milling on patios and sitting on benches and just trying to capture as much of the suns precious rays as possible. If I din know better I would swear that in spring people duz split and multiply and bloom like de flowers in the garden.
But that is how it is. When sunlight scarce ya appreciate it that much more when you do get it I think. We Caribbean people at home doan appreciate it so. It duz be like "cheese on bread why the sun gotta be suh hot this marnin um is 9 o clock an i sweating already" meanwhile a fella like me duz be up hayso bundle up in summuch fur jacket that people mistaking me for de Yeti.
Anyways doan worry we Canadian people (good gosh dem assimilate me an got me referring to a "we" now. help muh nuh) gine soon start complaining juss ya wait an see. Come it hit 25 and 30C next month or month after next all dem gine start saying well at least when um cold ya can put on layers but when um hot ya cant tek off ya skin and dem gine be cussing sun and killing electricity wid de aircon at negative numbers trying to recreate fridges in their homes and offices. But dat is people fa ya, never appreciate nuttin uh. cha!
Not me though, nuh complaints bout heat fa me, I look forward to my 30C, I wish it was so everyday.

Dirty Spring
Hurray for warmer weather! Couldnt come too soon in my opinion. Brutal winter we've had. Cold to rattle the bones!
My only complaint about warmer weather is the initial dirt that we see when the snow melts. Its like everyone has emptied their garbage under the snow and now with the melt we see it all: Cans, fast food paper bags, coffee cups, bottles etc etc. Yuck!

Spring again
just like that Biz Markie song. Or at least it will be by tomorrow.
Yep Spring again. Time for all the crazies to emerge from their winter slumber. I always find that one of the funnier things about spring in Toronto. Its always like every crazy person was in hibernation and then suddenly they all wake up and come out. Oh well.
Hopefully it will at least feel like spring as well. So far for the past couple of weeks we've been having our ups and downs in temperatures, mostly downs. Tomorrow, the first day of spring it is/was supposed to be 14 degrees Celsius. So why is it that today was -8? Is temperature changes like that that have everybody on the streets sniffling and coughing.
Actually one thing I've noticed about Toronto weather especially of late is that the transitions between seasons are not at all very gradual. everything just occurs suddenly. One day its -8 the next its +14 the next its +25 in spring and in the fall one day its +10 the next day its -6. no wonder all sorts of flu and cold and bugs duz be stirring around this place.
Oh well!
Anyway today Cranky post about how she attracting nuff attention from the opposite sex (she has the kavorka so they say) and someone said maybe its because of spring. Well I am here to confess that I too have been attracting some attention. Yes is true! Don't look so shocked. I still may have it going on. Not sure what it is but it might be going on.
Anyhow I was walking to the subway this evening and there were these two shapely sistas in front of me on my way up the street. One of them looked back and saw me and then with a twinkle in her eye said something to the other one who promptly looked back at me and smiled. Ok so I don't know if she had a twinkle in her eye or not but I telling ya she say something to the other one and then the other one look back and smile at me. Yeaaah baby!
Woo hoo, I still have it, whatever it is, lol.
