A Rainy Day Indeed

Hello Blog World!! Well I am back and am hoping that you all are enjoying my blog as much as I am. From the wonderful comments I can see that I am helping brighten some days and that makes me feel great! Just for your information I have had some people give me ideas for funny things to look out for in my day to day activities. Some of these have been great ideas and I want to thank those people! But hey everyone I know there are lots more ideas out there for funny things to look for... So please feel free to write those down in the comment section of the blog so others can look for the humor side of life as well!! Anyway, on to the blog... Today I awoke to the sound of rain thumping against my window. It startled me at first because a leaf hit the window when I opened the blinds, but I calmed down. haha! After I calmed down the first thing that came to my mind was that today would be a great day to "Simply Observe". Because it was raining so hard I decided to walk so I could carry my umbrella instead of trying to ride my bike AND yield an umbrella at the same time. You would think that the average person would agree to this decision, one for their own safety and two for the safety of others. I mean come on!! Trying to ride a bike and hold an umbrella at the same time is just NOT a good idea! However, what would college be without the people who everyone wonders if they were REALLY accepted or if they just put up the appearance of having an IQ. I kid you not, as I was safely walking to school this morning a bicyclist passed me riding in the road. Not in the little space on the side, but IN the car lane. (The speed on this road is 40mph... Dumb!) And what was he attempting to do??? You guessed it! He was actually trying to ride his bike while holding an open umbrella over his body. Ladies and gentlemen, this was quite the sight. Let me quickly paint the not-so pretty picture. Bicycle+road+line of angry cars+UMBRELLA=Disaster! Obviously focused on keeping his body dry the man... no.... that would be a disgrace to our gender... the idiot completely disregarded the cars behind him. There was no way the bike was traveling at 40 mph! Mainly because half the time the umbrella was acting against his efforts by taking the form of a make-shift parachute pulling him back. By this time I had ceased my walking and was fighting back the all too precious tears of laughter that were filling my eyes. I was holding my sides but still keeping eye contact with the bicycle. It was a symphony for the soul of laughter! Rain as a nice backdrop, honking as ridiculous accents and my laughter as the sweet, sweet melody. Eventually the idiot reached an intersection. I said to myself, "good now he can stop this madness and let the cars pass him. By this time I was still a ways away from the intersection, but I could see him clear as day. To the delight of the cars behind him he pulled his bike to the side of the road. I thought it was over..... But oh was I wrong. This was the climax of the entire ordeal! As the light turned green the cars sped off and doused the idiot in water.. I absolutely lost it!! My sweet, sweet melody turned into an abrupt solo. Sure I felt bad for the idiot, but I absolutely could not help it. He could have handled the situation better. Like possibly try walking to school!?? Anyway.... thats all for now! Stay safe and stay dry! Feel the laughter!!! :)
