Springing Forward aka The Dreaded DST

Timothy Price wrote a song about the Dreaded Daylight Savings Time. He then made a video for it using AI.

The song and video are funny & entertaining. To view the original post and the video in its full glory, click on Tim’s AI pic above! The video didn’t reblog, so I am reposting a lower resolution here.

The Dreaded DST
Lyrics and Music by Timothy Price
Inspired by Marina Kanavaki

Daylight blinds fools who have no skills
They create silly rules they are so unreal
Daylight’s scarce, why don’t we care?
We save it eight months out of… every year

Bedtime at ten feels like nine
Don’t feel sleepy? Have more wine
It’s midnight damn, the bottle’s empty
I’m still awake… I’m feeling pretty cranky

Now we’re on the dreaded DST
Body clocks are broken why can’t we see
That hour we save every single day
Is two-hundred forty hours of daylight that we have… stashed away

Alarm at five it feels like four
Like a zombie, I hit the door
Preparation-H on the old toothbrush
Toothpaste up my… Whew! What a rush

No time to shower, sleepin’ on the job,
Stinkin’ up the office, what a slob
Head bobs up and down, fishing at the screen
My boss is cranky… making quite a scene

Now we’re on the dreaded DST
Body clocks are broken why can’t we see
We can look forward to falling back
We get one hundred twenty hours of daylight from… our stash

We’ve changed to DST for 56 years
That’s six-thousand seven-hundred hours, my dear
Of daylight, we’ve been banking away
So let’s go spend it on our… sanity

Now we’re on the dreaded DST
Body clocks are broken why can’t we see
That hour we save every single day
Is two-hundred forty hours of daylight that we have… stashed away

Face w/ Cat Bonus

I liked this a lot when I found it in Kensington Market.

It fell into the un-posted hoards in my photos archives.

Due to the lockdown, I haven’t been able to leave my extended hood for over a year.

Holly – House of Heart suggested I comb my photos stash. I found about 50 pieces. Thank you, dahling!

CAT BONUS

This cat has been on top of the world, ever since I can remember. It’s on the way out of Kensington Market, on Dundas West.

Hopefully the stash will help until some more art pops up in my walking zone.

Cat’s Third Eye is a Gem

Found this on a garage door a few blocks from home.

I’d like to hit some other alleys in the city, but I won’t take public transportation to get there and back.

I can do a 3 – 4 hour walk.

A few times I got a ride from N to a place where it’s a 4 hour walk back home.

Fortunately, I have lots of pics stashed!

Uber Cats w/Turtles & Dogs

This is the last post from the Humane Society wall.

Artist: Uber 5000

To the right of the orange cat playing with a ball of blue yarn (as you look at the mural) are 2 turtles.

Artist: Uber 5000

Seems the turtles have bad eyes, or are they wearing glasses because they are shallow fashion turtles?

Artist: Uber 5000

To the left is an orange cat who plays with an orange ball, and a black cat.

There’s nothing like 2 great big kitten heads in a row!

 This must be mom, because she is protecting the kittens from a dog and a bird.

Green Eye & Blue Eye Cat

This is one fierce kitty-kat!

So, as I’m capturing this, a same colored cat woman walks by. Perfect!

Now reading: Charles Bukowski on Cats

There’s a window in the cat’s mouth. It’s street art, working with what works.
