Well, this is what happened yesterday. I drove around to a few shops, and put in an application at a place where one guy had just given his 2 week notice. I had an interview there. They said hopefully they'll call me in a couple days, good luck. Hopefully theyll call me in a couple days, wish me luck. I'm beginning to think I may be retarded and not even know it. I mean, is there something that the world sees about me that I'm too stupid to notice? lol.... just playin... kinda. Oh yeah, well this was after my sister and I had a lil argument, and I left the house pissed off to job hunt... And then after 6 o clock when it was too late to go to any more shops, I wanted to go take a relaxing walk down the beach. So I did.
The walk was nice. The beach was nice, the breeze was nice, there were beautiful girls out, I got a few smiles, it was relaxing. Really helped calm my nerves. So, I get to the point where I realize I've walked pretty damn far. I figure it's a good idea to head back now. I start walkin back and it begins to sprinkle. I was enjoying it. I liked it. The rain was calming, and it wasn't too bad. So I kept walking back towards my car, and it began to get beyond sprinkling. Just a little heavier than sprinkles. I still liked it. It was refreshing. Taxis were driving by slowly as if to offer me rides, but I didn't want one, I was enjoying my walk.
About 15 minutes later I began to realize that I had walked pretty damn far. It must have been more relaxing than I knew. I noticed that I wasn't even half way there yet. Well the rain began to pick up even more. The sky got dark and it started to thunder. I began to worry, but kind of laugh that "Damn, I'm gonna be soaked when I get to my car." ha. I had no idea. It kind of picked up, then died down, and picked up then died down, so I stopped and chilled under a lifeguard tower for a few minutes during some of the heavier rain, and began to walk again in the light rain. This was about another 15 minutes after the first 15 minutes. Then the rain got out of hand. It was pouring. Cats and dogs... even mice and ferrets too, it was that crazy. So I ran and chilled under another life guard tower. Around 10 minutes of that was enough for me to realize it wasn't about to stop. So I darted out, ran across the street and went to a hotel entrance which had an extended roof for valet parking. By the time I got there... forget it. I was soaked. Like take a hose to me and soak me down soaked.... shitty. So I chilled there for about 15 minutes as the rain just got harder and harder.
I eventually noticed it was 8:30. Well, about a week ago I had a close encounter with a parking ticket for parking in the same spot after 9 o clock. I really did not want my night capped off with a parking ticket. I figured, fuck it, I'm gonna be soaked no matter what, so fuck it. I tied my shoes tight, tightened my belt and made a run for it. lol. It seemed like a good idea. I thought I was a couple blocks away and I'd get there wet, but what else was I supposed to do? Well, anyways, I jetted out there and was jumping over puddles and running through intersections, and then I took a step on one of them diamond plate looking service covers on the sidewalk. I think anybody can guess what happened, but Im sayin it anyways. I slipped. Fell straight down onto my hip and slid a good 5 feet down the pavement. "YOU'RE OUT!!".... j/k.... well to make it worse, some dude saw it from his car because I was just about to cross that intersection. He perched up in amazement at the gnarly spill I just took, but I was like... "fuck this rain stuff, I'm goin home.".... got back up and started running again, being more careful to look for metal plates on the sidewalk. I ran a good minute or so and then saw a big intersection coming up. Sunrise BLVD. That meant I was a good mile from my car still. Don't forget the rain. Still cats, dogs, mice, ferrets, weasels, guinea pigs, and hamsters. It was retarded. I gave up on the whole "running" idea.
I stopped running, and began to walk. That's when I realized my hip hurt. And my arm was bleeding from my earlier slide. oh and BTW my knee felt great too. Being the optimist I am, I looked down at my pants to check for holes.... none... no holes. I was stoked. Not even a stain really. The asphalt was too slick to hurt my pants.... just me. So anyways, here I am in a damn thunderstorm, with a sore hip, sharp pain in my knee, bleeding from my arm, no umbrella, worried that my phone and my car alarm remote are getting soaked in my back pocket, and I've got another mile to go. BTW I sure felt like a champ when all the people drove by in their warm dry cars, just to see me walking like a loser in a freakin tsunami storm. It was lovely.
So finally at 9 oclock, a half hour after leaving the hotel where I stood soaked for fifteen minutes after already walking for 30 minutes in the rain, I got to my car. I begged god to just let the rain die down for a minute as I got into my car. The instant I did that, the rain doubled up. I literally could not see 20 yards down the road. What was I to do? So I did the first thing that came to mind. Stand there and bitch about it. It was great. I figured the surge of extra rain would end in a few seconds and it would go back to only raining cats and dogs. haha.... yeah right. It only got worse with every second I stood there. I think I stood there for a good couple minutes. I mean, I was dripping wet from EVERYWHERE!! I did not want to open my car door and jump in there after walking in a tsunami for an hour, while the rain also soaked my door and everything else. Had to do it. Had to fuckin do it. I figured if I was going to jump in there soaked I might as well take off as much clothing as possible so I wouldnt fuck up my seats. So I took my shirt off, loosened my belt so I could pull my soaking pants off once I hopped in (didnt wanna take them off beforehand and then just soak my boxers too), and I fuckin did it. Opened the door, jumped in that motherfucker DRENCHED!!!!!!!! and then pulled my pants down so I wouldnt just saturate my seat.
Well, my shoes were tied real fuckin tight from earlier, so I couldnt pull my pants off. couldnt untie my shoes and take them off because that would have been way too daunting of a task, and I was already pissed and stressed out, so I was like fuck it. left em down. But I couldn't drive with them around my ankles so I had them up, just bove my knees. I felt like a fuckin idiot. The rain was so loud on top of my car that I couldn't even hear myself think. SO I didnt. I just started the car and took off in a fury. Then remembered to turn on my wipers. Then remembered I already did. Still couldn't see jack shit. That's how hard it was raining. I really didnt give a fuck. I could make out the occasional lane marker, and that was good enough for me. I wanted to go home and dry off and get drunk. So here I am driving along with my pants around my knees, no shirt on, pissed off..... and I get to a red light. I stop. duh... then the rain slows down. and I realize there's an SUV next to me and they could easily see my situation, but they would NEVER understand. But you know what? I really didnt give a shit what they thought at the moment. So I sat there with my pants around my knees... shirt off... soaked.... pissed.... halfway laughing, halfway cursing god.
Then as I'm still driving home I began to reflect on my day. (couldn't help it) and it only made me more upset. It occured to me that the walk which I took to relieve my stress, SUCKED ASS!!!!
Then I got home. Got out of my car (still raining), pulled my pants up, grabbed my shirt, and stomped up to the apartment. Pulled off all my clothes, put on some dry shorts, and proceeded to down shots of vodka. I put away half a bottle in 30 minutes. And began to laugh. I figure if I'm not STILL suffering, what do I have to be mad about? It was over.
I dont think it was funny, but I am glad that I'm not still walking in the rain feeling like a piece of shit on a stick. What a horrible experience.

Once I got stuck on my motorcycle 3 hours from home and a storm snuck up on me. I drove through the rain for 3 hours soaked from neck to toe freezing my ass off. When I got home, I couldn't feel any limbs or... my precious parts. Took a 20 minute hot shower (which burned like a mother) and when I got out, I was still shivering.
So I can sort of relate. :icon16:
Btw, I could feel all the people in their nice warm cars laughing at me while they passed on the freeway. :sly:

Proving that not all Jaguar owners are sophisticated.
Oh yeah, I love that moment, in my life, when I'm so pissed/upset I dont give a fuck what other people think of me. Kinda like that moment.. you walk into McDonalds at noon (lunch hour), but you gotta take a shit, and you've been holding it for 4 hours..you dont give a fuck, and you let it all out, and you make the loudest fart, but you dont care the whole place heard you, because it felt so great.. okay, bad analogy.. but wtf?lol
