Welcome to PO.com
We had a similar conversation with someone awhile back. If your screen name is in any way descriptive of where in the country you are from (such as Iowa) your problem is that you have been through one of the nastiest, coldest and longest winters in a long time.
You should go to a tanning place, and get some rays. This will help you shake off the Seasonal Affected Disorder that you are currently experiencing. Alternate plan: get into your car, get on I-35 sounth, and do not stop until you get to Padre. If too cheap for either of these two, plan C is to get a bottle of Vitamin D supplements, and start taking them.
Secondly, as soon as it warms up to something approaching a tolerable level, which it will eventually, get out your bike and get ready for RAGBRAI. The more of a couch potato you are right now, the more this type of strenuous exercise will benefit you. Alternate plan: Look in the paper for an indoor exercise bike which you can ride in the meantime. If you do not have a bike, buy one at a garage sale and learn how to work on it.
There is now an abundance of biker clubs, all across the midwest. If there is one near you, join them for a Saturday ride. There may be several in your area: find one that is low-key. These people tend to be well educated, and accepting. This will also help you do some social networking, an important PO skill, but also give you the gift of fossil-fuel-free transportation. Note: They may offer you some beverages. Do not worry if you are "slow". A lot of these people ride just barely fast enough to keep from falling over.
Actually I'm in central Queensland, Australia. I was considering Children of the corn by Stephan king when I thought of the name. Theres actually a large amounts of sugar cane grown around here
so maybe it should have been camefromthecane. Thanks for the comments everyone I will take them into consideration.
Very true BigTex about the news reporters change in mood from one topic to the next, it always gives me a laugh too.
Come and see and I saw, behold a pale horse.

Let's try to squeeze in a final comment.
Remember that the best things in life are free. (or cheap at least)
Moonshine (drink and lunar) and grilling some snags on the beach with mates, copulating, catching a fish and watching the roos hop by. This can go on way after oil is gone and if you can enjoy the simple pleassures, you'll get a lot more joy.

If you're a Stephen King fan make sure to check out Different Seasons and the Bachman Books. Several movies in those collections.
If you live in Australia, you're already several steps ahead of us in the U.S. If you think it sucks there you would hate it here.
Be happy.

I'll definetly check those out. You're right about my location, I think you guys are going to give us a nice blueprint of what to expect.
Peace
