Technically you mean you LOVE 'daylight savings' since its 'daylight savings' which EXTENDS the daylight during the summer. We just switched back to 'standard time' which blows.

I completely agree, I hate when it gets dark so early. Living in AL is even worse than in other states, because there have been several attempts to move us into EST because the difference is very marginal. So essentially we've got EST sunsets but yet we're in CST. Because of that, it's already pitch dark by 5:15. In the dead of winter, it's pitch black by 4:45. No shit, 4:45. I'm not talking about it being dusk, I'm talking about like 10:00 just like you described. It's fucking gay. I might as well be living in fucking Alaska it gets dark here so early.

I don't mind it. Probably because i'm at a way higher latitude than the rest of you.
I like it because i'm up at 5:45am and now the sun will rise a little bit earlier. Before, it was 8:30am before it wasn't dark out anymore.

seriously who the fuck cares?... just set all you clocks/watches back before bed, and you wont even notice in the morning...
i personally enjoyed it at 2am (last call) when the clock went back to 1am, therefore extending my drinking time by an hour...
