thoughts on rain.

hmm..today's a pretty rainy day..go figure..i live in london, right?!?

..and it got me thinking..i asked my friend riaz if he was going out anywhere last wkknd...and do you know his response, "no, it's raining..don't think i'll be heading out."

WTF?? are you kidding me?!? it's LONDON. that's what happens. it rains...and i don't mean, soFla thunderstorms that last hours on end..i mean annoying just-rain-damnit-if-you're going-to-rain type of rain. some would call that mist.

..and besides dealing with rain in london, one is also subject to the tube...
..and it got me thinking..there's this little button that lights up when the tube doors are about to open. this little button is usually controlled by the tube conductor. everyday, at LEAST one idiot pushes the poor little button with aaalll their might as if they have 'the magic touch' that will open the tube doors upon arrival. sorry, IDIOT you are not the chosen one.

anyway, once off the tube, you must push past this same IDIOT who happens to be pulling 2 heavy ass suitcases, who has no idea where he/she is going, and stops on the middle of the platform blocking you and the "hardworking" citizens or other students from getting to work or uni.
..and yes, i'm still thinking...ppl, myself included, morph into this wretched soul pushing past ppl, and nearly tripping over strollers, and the geriatrics to get to these "stairways to heaven' to only be greeted by...gray skies (or sometimes blue ones)
but, by this time you have morphed back into your proper self and actually are friendly with that IDIOT..
