sO...

as it was thunderstorming today, i thought to myself:

"wow. i really like thunderstorms."

it sucks being stuck out there in the pouring rain..but as you listen to the sky rumble..
and the rain fallin..
it's just nice to know ur inside.

which brings me to another memory, of how i love walking in light rain.

rain and people interact very strangely. most people will do whatever it takes to..

stay dry.

but there is this "activation energy" you can say.
in chemistry, activation energy is this minimum energy needed to allow a reaction to run it's course.
don't reach the minimum? the reaction does not occur.
surpass the minimum by great bounds and lengths? nope, doesn't create a greater reaction, it'll create the same reaction as if you had just enough energy to start it.

so anyway, back to my point.

rain and people... u do ur best to stay dry...but if u get wet enough (no sexual understones u dirty fooz),
you really give up trying to stay dry, and instead, embrace the rain.
or maybe i'm weird.
i remember a few times when i would just walk in the rain...no umbrella..just walkin...it felt so good.

but obviously it sucks when it's pourin..i'm talkin about that summer rain. that nice refreshing, un--muggy rain that lifts your spirits, and doesn't smell like warm water.

i haven't experienced that in a long time.

and maybe i won't ever again.

things always seems different in retrospect. maybe it really did suck and i'm just imagining/remembering it differently.

wouldn't that be a trip?
