man, so fucking rain. everyday at 3:55, i think to myself, "man, i need to leave, i dont want to be late for my bus."
simoutaneously, god thinks, "man, 3:55, i dont want to be late to get garrett FUCKING WET."
and then, even if it was sunny all day (which never happens), its starts to drizzle on my way to the bus, and then starts to poor once i get off.
too prove my point, thursday as im walking to the bus, it starts to drizzle. and i think to myself, i can handle this, its just a few drops. and i do. while im on the bus, its still keeps drizzling, and everything it cool.
and then when i walk home, everything is not so cool. im fucking three blocks away from my house, and everything goes dark, like goddamn dementors just appeared. i look up, and its nothing but storm clouds. fuck, so i call my mom, and ask her to pick me up. she tells me that she's around the corner, so i keep walking. big mistake. i pass six houses, and im soaking wet. why? because every 45 seconds, the rain intensity increased to the point that i could not see the end of the street.
i though the rain would have been weak like it was up until that point for at least ten more minutes. god was probally like "oh shit, its 4:45, im late. oh wait, haha sucker." drizzle to monsoon in 5 minutes. i would curse, but its god.
finally, my city is drowning. maybe you remember the flood of '98. well this is way more than that, this is like a noah flood. last saturday it did not rain, and i read in that day's paper that there were only eight days where it did not rain, including that saturday. to give an idea abotu what thats like, imagine everyday, the sun rises twice. once in the morning like usual. then it goes dark and rains until around 1. then the sun comes out again, but clouds over at four (remember i always get wet?). if san antonio is lucky, the sun makes one final camio at seven. so the sun rises twice, sometimes three times, its like tantooine, except we only have one sun.
back to the flood. literaly everday it rains. and everytime it does, it starts off pretty hard. or so we say in the office ("man its really going, its rainning pretty hard,...etc.). whoops we all spoke too soon, because ten minutes later, it rains even harder. then to top it off, the level increases again, and usually again, until once again i cannot see the end of the street. then we all look at super doppler radar (because we've "never seen it rain this hard before." haha, wasting time), and the whole screen is red and yellow. we animate so it looks like mardi gras or something. 70 road closures, three inches, and a bus ride later, im fording my streets to get home.
goddamn rain.
