drip drip drop little april showers
"april showers" used to be a cute little song from bambi that i used to listen to every time my niece would come over and point at the disneyana collection that we had at home. small as she was she always managed to grab the cd, so it was requisite listening anytime we would go somewhere -- to the beach, the mall, around the corner. this kid ate this stuff up.but, anyway, back to the song. so this would most inappropriately play in the background when the most inopportune moments were operating on the real world. once it played when it was drought season in southern california; there was a radio newscast that said something about wildfires blazing through the inland counties. two seconds later, "april showers" comes on. there was one where we were at the beach and on our way home, the sky turned unexpectedly gray and rain poured down for about two days. to what song? "april showers."
and now that it's finally april, the first two days of it all have been marked by, what else, little april showers, the sun not turning any brighter than two hours at a time.
but the best part really is that out there somewhere, "april showers" is someone's drag queen name.

saturdays should be spent with friends.
sundays should be spent nursing hangovers with friends.

the funny thing with relationships is, as i was telling someone last night, it doesn't matter whether or not you viscerally react to something, but in how much you invest your time in it. and in the end, it's ll really about connecting with someone and relating to them on some higher level that both of you appreciate, one of those great "sum is more than the whole of its parts" mysteries the world tends to offer up quite a bit.
what i'm really trying to say is, why aren't i there with you?

maintaining something is exponentially harder to do than just flat out doing something. it's like a college student with laundry: you try to keep the hamper as empty as possible, but in the end, when you finally do HAVE to do your laundry, it's costing you $20 in quarters and two weekends to do.
things just need to get easier, and i have a feeling that the near future will present something like that.

i can't stand hypocrites. really, i can't.
maybe that's why sometimes i can't stand myself.
