Rain On My Parade

Greetings quesolitos, from soggy whitebread, USA. We are apparently in the wet season. Nonetheless, I am happy. I am blessed to be in the rain. I have a feeling that this is the rain that will bring us to a healthy, lush, green spring. I cant wait to see the treeline green before it is blocked. Also, the more it rains, the longer construction takes because the ground is too soggy. The longer construction takes, the longer I have my window escape. Pray for rain.

Well, just so you know, here are a few things that have disturbed me greatly lately:

1. Public Breastfeeding - Now, I know that a hip and modern guy would be completely appreciative of the fact that such a natural and healthy thing should be welcomed and even looked upon with great admiration in today's world, but I can't help but be the guy who screams out "Whoa! Gross..." and then dry heaves while physically raising my hand to hide my eyes--as if looking would literally be painful for me. I know, this is uncooth, but alas, it's my true reaction.

2. Great Friends making Mistakes - No matter how hard you want for them to do the wise thing, they seem unable to come to it themselves. So you let the horse walk away from the water. You know it won't end well, but you just can't make them choose wisely. This has happened twice lately, and it makes me sad.

3. People who can't hide their loathing - Kind of like that time my brother was threatened by the guy who after being forced to apologize loudly whispered to my brother, "It's not over." Only this time, it was someone who had never met me and doesn't know me giving me crap about crap they don't know anything about. She tried to laugh it off, but did such a poor job that I was greatly disturbed with how something so far from her could eat her up inside--there must not be much on her insides.

So, here is a list of mine. I hope that these minor challenges don't make you think I am growing bitter and resentful, but I do hope that don't have to see another public disply of breastfeeding soon.

God save the Cheese.
