For many people the first day of spring is the start of a new year, for others it's when they expect the day to be longer, and for many they await the summer warmth and the flowers blooming. For the people of San Diego, in the beautiful cool breeze and the ocean right down the street, we await the nights that are warm and light out until 8 pm so that we can enjoy going out to the beach or to the Gaslamp District for drinks and enjoy the time with our friends.

DYSMD will be there with you this summer bringing you the best of the best. The events, the DJs, performers, and the summer breeze in Downtown San Diego, to make sure that our readers have the best summer possible!

San Diego is rated the finest city in America, and we live up to this reward every year when the weather gets warmer and the people get happier when they attend the events of a lifetime. On a personal note, I love the Spring and Summer time, because of the warm weather, the fact that it gets dark later, and it's my birthday!!

But also, to me the first day of spring I feel like people become happier in general..I don't know what it is about this time of year, that brings hope to people's eyes, a smile to their face, and a great attitude to spread around. But in regards to my previous message... President Obama said the verse: Yes We Can! And this summer we can do everything we always wanted to. But...I always wonder... politics is such a strong subject, and whenever I am around people who are “discussing” it, it always becomes an argument... what if election day was around Spring time... would it ruin the season? Or would the happy energy of the season bring more hope to individuals and make the political issues more at ease... and people would vote with ease instead of tension from work and school on their mind.

May this new day of Spring bring you warmth, happiness, and ease to the tension of the recession. Go out and enjoy yourselves with your friends and family, take a walk on the beach, enjoy the day before the night crawls in. Before you know it, winter will sneak back into our lives and bring the tension and the stress back.
