There is a thunderstorm going on here. It is setting car alarms off in the parking lot.
Something about thunderstorms intrigues me. Apart from being rather titillating and fascinating to me, they are just all out rad to me.
My favorite time is that calm before the storm, where you just know it is going to rain - its overcast, there is a slight breeze, a change in pressure and temperature - all that is so relaxing. I like seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder without it raining.
Sometimes the thunder sounds like someone called in a fire mission and it brings me back to those days out in the field, being soaked and wearing the supposed 'waterproof' standard issue poncho. I miss walking through the thick vegetation trying to keep water out of the barrel of my M-16a4 so it won't rust and scanning the area for anything of interest amidst the plants, rain, and fog. I miss the smell of carbon after rounds are shot from an M-16, I miss that familiar kick it has, I miss my feet being numb all the time because it was cold and raining, and the inside of my boots were soaked. I miss being out in the rain and getting soaked and freezing my ass off, and not being alone in doing so.
Sometimes the rain makes me feel lonely. I have always wanted to just go out and play in the rain with someone I love, while hugtackling them on the ground and rolling around in the mud. I want to stomp in puddles, I want to get soaked and freeze my ass off. Something about the rain just seems awesome and intimate, I can't really describe it. I have never really got to play in the rain with anyone before, apart from a few occasions while seeking shelter from it. I want to play in the rain, and I think I just might this weekend.
