365 Day 312*

I love the rain.

 

It brings an element of serenity to my psyche that is really difficult to explain.

 

I feel at peace when the drops are coming down. I love getting wet. I just want to splash in puddles and get soaked. I want to stick my tongue out and capture as many drops as possible.

 

I really think rain and storms and clouds bring out the artist in oneself. I’ve discovered perfect days with sun and blue skies are just boring. And people who are raised and brought up in places that have nothing but perfect weather typically are a bore.

 

Of course there are exceptions. I don’t want to offend any of you assholes living in Hawaii that just got a hard-on when I said that.

 

Seriously. Stormy weather like this just makes me want to go out and run around and take pictures and write and scream and hide and yell and smile and play.

 

Then go inside later and snuggle by a fireplace and read. Of course I don’t have a fireplace nor do I ever read. But I wish I had and did both.

 

The shot at hand? Well I got off of work early on this particular day. It was raining HARD. I couldn’t wait to go out and snap my 365 shot in this massive storm. I hiked down this trail as seen. My tripod had to be anchored down with my camera bag so I could take this shot so it didn’t fall over. I don’t know if you can tell, but the wind was PRACTICALLY knocking me over. Check out my shoes. I struggled to keep myself up!

 

The album at hand?

 

Okay seriously. I’m not trying to be funny here. Are you into music? I don’t care what you do or how old you are or how much gigabytes of music are on your computer.

 

Here is the definitive question: Do you have any Sinatra?

 

No?!

 

You suck cock. And even more you don’t know shit about music nor does your loser music collection impress me one bit. I don’t care what else is in it.

 

Ol’ blue eyes owns music in the 1940’s and 1950’s in America. I can sit here all night long and just listen to Sinatra bopping my head and smiling and dancing with my daughter (as I just did a couple hours ago).
