Rain Storms

So yesterday I'm standing at the corner waiting to cross the street in Silver Spring. Out of no where the wind picks up and the wrath of the storm god himself comes down and rips the top of my umbrella off it's poll. While I'm being pellted by tree branches and rain, two cars whip by and splash huge puddles of water on me.

By now it's a complete downpour and i'm soaking wet in my work clothes and Wycleaf Jean's "Apocolypes" is playing on my MP3 player. The power goes out on the streets which makes the traffic lights go out while I'm trying to cross five lanes of traffice in the middle of a monsoon in the middle of rush hour. Oh, and i'm still holding on to the stick..that was once my umbrella.

So I tuck my bag under my arm and run like a Mexican crossing the border. My shoes are still wet and I need a new umbrella.

At least it's a nice day today.
