yup, i went to kroger on west gray and shepherd and went home in the heights and the ground was wet everywhere!! it actually looked strange b/c i haven't seen it in so long. my parents in pearland were jealous tho. that was most def an "isolated thunderstorm."
even though we got no rain, i was just excited to see rain clouds in the distance. sat on the porch with a beer and a smoke just waiting.
it's been like the pacific northwest here for months. NOT NORMAL. i could do without so much rain but it has kept the temperatures down. it's weird that i grew up in houston but hate, i mean HATE, the heat.
i spoke with a lady from philadelphia yesterday who was complaining that it had rained for 14 straight days and they hadn't gotten above 76 all year long. she shut up when i told her our plight.
i read a while back that the temps were real low in the midwest and they were worried about crop production.
oh yeah, exactly. i don't want to trade with you guys. i mean, i could always throw on a burka to keep warm , but you can't pull yer skin off.
yeah the rain is a problem for the farmers according to my FIL visiting from Delaware (right next to Philly). They are getting too much rain. We need rain in austin bad
It started raining on me in the Heights on Monday evening. I wasn't sure what was going on at first because it had been so long. It was truly magical.
Here comes the rain again Falling on my head like a memory Falling on my head like a new emotion I want to walk in the open wind I want to talk like lovers do I want to dive into your ocean Is it raining with you
Buckets of rain Buckets of tears Got all them buckets coming out of my ears Buckets of moonbeams in my hand You got all the love honey baby I can stand. I been meek And hard like and oak I seen pretty people disappear like smoke Friends will arrive friends will disappear If you want me honey baby I'll be there. I like your smile And your fingertips I like the way that you move your lips I like the cool way you look at me Everything about you is bringing me Misery. Little red wagon Little red bike I ain't no monkey but I know what I like I like the way you love me strong and slow I'm taking you with me honey baby When I go. Life is sad Life is a bust All ya can do is do what you must You do what you must do and ya do it well I'll do it for you honey baby Can't you tell ?
Okay, I'll play. (automatic rep for anyone who knows this song) Cold reality comes right down on me and I can't shake it Can't tell when I'm hot, and I can't tell when I'm not, I can't take it. I keep looking to the sky to give me a sign, to reassure me everything is fine But nothing's ever there, I act like I don't care but I'm just faking it I thought if I had faith, that I would not have to wait, but I was mistaken But I keep believing and there's not too much ain And I still have everything to gain... So I Pray for Rain, the sky is dry and so am I, so I Pray for Rain, wonder when it will ever rain again and I'm just like everyone, I try to live my life Right on the borderline of what is wrong and what is right Why don't it rain ? Pray for rain Monday in my bed I got rocks in my head and I can't move it Tuesday afternoon, are you back again so soon? I don't believe it When did all this dreaming become reality? When does it start hapenning to me Maybe I'm just nervous, maybe I'm just scared More than once I've wondered if I'm mentally impaired For now I'm very happy, yes for now I'm more than pleased But if I don't see some clouds real soon, I might get on my knees And Pray, for Rain

Repped as promised. I remember many a night slam-dancing to that song at Fitzgeralds. Ah, the good ol days. You too. I thought it would tell me I couldn't do it, since I did it in the photochop thread. You have the honor of being my first double rep given.
Yeah, that and Kung Fu Is What I Like are both regulars on my playlist to this day. Do you have The Big One That Got Away? And Be My Guru was awful. I don't even consider that one of their albums. I think even they hated it. They still do reunion shows up in Dallas every once in a while. Minus Earl Harvin, unfortunately. Still would love to go up and see them though.
