So you might think I'm a bit mentally unhinged

But I went and stood out in the rain yesterday. I mean I was out for a run and came back and worked out but then was like ohh look it's raining now. And sure enough just walked right outside into the pouring rain. And sure you may think I've really lost it. But a little background into a little about me. In junior high/ high school I used to walk home everyday since both my parents worked and home was only a few miles away. And while I'd walk with friends for part of the way most of the distance was by myself. And when you have that much time to walk and think rain or not you really start to listening and thinking about all sorts of things.

I think part of the reason I'm the person I am and pay so very close attention to things that most people pass off as just boring, unimportant, or having little merit are the things I reveal and cherish in. I used to always read about how amazing music composers always would find inspirations in sounds abundant in nature. I used to listen for rhythm and sounds on my walks. I used to contemplate why things were the way they and dream about the people I would meet someday.

Now since I got to college I became this overachiever who felt this constant need to do something, be involved in something, and accomplish something. And in that I stopped all that time I had for myself. SO.....

I stood in the rain. Listening to the water and watching the sheets of water coming down. I really missed that. So much so I ran inside and grabbed my camera. So by now you must think i'm truely mental walking around in the pouring rain for no real reason at all taking pictures of myself and things in the pounding rain.

I wonder how many times I've missed beautiful things like the pattern rain makes as it sheets down on the road. Not to mention the steam from the hot road that swirls up and around as you walk down the street.

They have always said the most creative are the insane and children cause they have no concepts of boundries and rules.

I want to just stand in the rain! I was really considering it yesterday but then it started thundering and lightening and I decided that might not be such a great idea... Someday I will!!

VERY sexy pictures!

I loooove taking walks in the rain. I just laugh at the people who are frantically running to their cars or homes trying not to get soaked. It's just water! The best time to go for a walk is in the rain, because everyone else goes inside. You have the whole street to yourself, and you can just walk and enjoy!
