I've never really liked rain. There's just something well... depressing about it. Maybe its all of those dramas I've watched over the years finally taking a toll on my subconsciouses. I mean 7 out of 10 of those movies/tv shows have a sad "No! Don't leave me!" scene that takes place outside.. in the rain.. on a road or street of some sorts. Rain just seems to give those scenes that extra "oomph" of emo that bright sunlight and cheery blue sky just don't seem to possess.

Anyways I'm writing about rain since currently... its raining. Even though I don't like rain itself ... I do enjoy the periods after rain. When the heavy down pour slowly starts to lessen and eventually becomes just a light drizzle that slowly ceases completely. There is a strange sort of ... almost beauty to the world after its rained. Everything has been washed clean of the dirt, a clean slate for us to start working with. Then the sun begins to slowly makes its way out of hiding from behind the clouds, casting soft rays of sunlight across the clean Earth.

I know I'm sounding a little emo, but sometimes its good to write something a bit deeper. Makes me sound less like a "bimbo blonde" and more like a ... "thoughtful burnett" maybe.
