Wake Me Up When September (Wait, I Can't Stand That Song)

Even though I really dislike Green Day, someone must now wake me up. I mean, September is ending; we're at the end of the month. October is always a better month than September. There's baseball's playoffs, the beginning of the NBA and NHL seasons, and several birthdays of people I am close with, including my own. That doesn't even mention any of the beautiful changing colors of leaves, bonfires and scenic areas across our beautiful country.

However, it also brings with it colder weather and illness. The biggest downside to the cold weather (well, beside the part where it's not fun to go outside anymore) is that everyone seems to pass around germs like they are hot plates. Not cool. Not cool at all. On top of all this, now the infamous H1N1 virus strain is moving around like crazy. There's already been a ton of swine flu scares, and several people I know have even been infected. Even the big fella in the White House and his people came out with a report that said 40% of Americans may be infected in the coming 12 months.

So what does this all mean, you ask? It means, stay away from sick people. Even if it's important that you see them, try your best to avoid their illness, as you don't know what it is yet. Other than that, all the usual rules apply. Wash your hands, eat healthy, build up your immune system, etc. However, there is also another new option: the swine flu shot. So, if you are paranoid, go out and get it this October (and now you all see why the post was pushing the end of September).
