I got bored for a second and started reading away messages and came across Tejas':

"a cold and wet November dawn and there are no barking sparrows. just emptiness to dwell upon

I fell into a winter slide and ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow..."

I have had enough. Something must be said about the abuse of November in song lyrics by emo-bands.

I'm tired of all these whiny white boy emo bans dissing my month, November. Nothing against emo-rock, which I usually enjoy. But please Jimmy Eat World. Please Postal Service. Please...The Shins.  And yes, please...The Early November. The November bashing must end.

November is not dark and depressing and rainy. It's not empty.

November is fun! You eat turkey, lots of turkey! It's home to Thanksgiving, one of the few holidays that's still simple and oriented around family-friend togetherness. It's a nice lull in the holiday storms of Halloween and Christmas. I love November. And it's football season. (But you probably don't like Football...try college football, that won me over.) Oh! And elections are in November! Exciting! (and hopefully not depressing this year...vote people, vote...unless your voting for Bush.).

Also, in case you didn't know, November starts with the letter N. Many good things start with the letter N.  And, of course, I was born in November.

So stop using it in all your sad depressing lyrics emo twerps. November shall no longer be your metaphor for all that is melodramatic in life.

End this. Now.

Or else I'll sic my grandma on you.

She was born on November 13th.

Addendum:

The2Stepper:  i think november gets such a bad wrap because its the worst month of the quarter...december has christmas...october has beautiful fall colors and halloween candy 
Auto response from Nap98: around.   
The2Stepper:  novembers like the slump in between  
The2Stepper:  except for the 1/12 of the population that has their birthday there  
The2Stepper:  although i would actually imagine its more than 1/12 of the population...at least in the U.S. or other hallmark countries  
The2Stepper:  because valentines day is nine months prior  
Nap98:  haha
