Pouring Rain @ MindSay 
i like rain
Rain pours slowly down on the rusty corrugated iron sheet which serves as the roof of the school. The place is empty ecxept for one child. He is wearing the school's white polo shirt and blue shorts uniform. He sits still and he appears to be talking to himself. Outside the rain is pouring and no one hears the child scream. It is dark outside and the falling rain makes huge puddles of mud and water. The world smells wet and cold and lonely.
The child shakes and rattles and falls from his small wooden chair. The school is a one-room building and is slowly rotting. Time has ravaged and has eaten away the once vibrant soul of this structure. It lies on a large abandoned field where you can gaze for miles and there's nothing to see but total flatness. There once was a time when children used to come here, when during bright sunny afternoons, the children would go out and play outside. Now, it's raining and the raindrops explode silently as they crash on the wet ground. The walls of the tiny school is lined with holes and the paint is cracking.
The ceiling has a large hole in it where you feel that you'll be sucked up into another dimension if you happen to stand below it. It also feels as if someone or something will fall down on top of you if happen to pass by underneath it. That something could have two heads and it could be very pale and cadaver-looking. And maybe it could ask you, maybe it could whisper slowly into your ear: what are you doing here? And then it could place a cold hand on your cheek.
The cement floor of the room is like a very shallow swimming pool where all the water that passed throught the holes on the roof fell and gathered. The child is wriggling, wallowing in it now and smiling, his eyes opened wide and his tongue flailing. The boy is staring at the one reading this, he is staring at you and he wants to know why are you still reading this, what do you want to know? why did you kill me? why did you kill me?
The old man is snoring
He went to bed and he bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning
I remember doing this one
Rain Rain go away
come back another day
(but it turns out there is more to that one)
Rain rain go away,
Come again another day.
Little Johnny wants to play;
Rain, rain, go to Spain,
Never show your face again!
Another song starting with the same words is as follows:
It's raining, it's raining,
There's pepper in the box,
And all the little ladies
Are holding up their frocks.
I did some looking up on the first one.

NEED WASHING??
A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Target. She must have
been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of
innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over
the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time
to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just
inside the door of the Target.
We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up
their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in
the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the
world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child, came
pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were
all caught in, "Mom let's run through the rain," she said.
"What?" Mom asked. "Lets run through the rain!" She repeated.
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's
run through the rain." "We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.
"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young
girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.
"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get
wet?" "Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer,
you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through
anything!"
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear
anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in
the next few minutes.
Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some
would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even
ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's
life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom
into faith.
"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If GOD
let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said.
Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they
darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their
shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they
were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the
way to their cars.
And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they
can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no
one can ever take away your precious memories...So, don't forget to make
time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday. To
everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.
I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to
appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget
them. Send this to the people you'll never forget and remember to also
send it to the person who sent it to you. It's a short message to let
them know that you'll never forget them.
If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry.
Take the time to live!!!
You are very special to me!!
Keep in touch with your friends, you never know when you'll need each
other -- and don't forget to run in the rain!
I'm not sure who wrote this but everyone can learn from it.
elaina called at like 130am and i was on the phone with her til like 430. we were talking about issues and i ended up making her cry. and i felt hella bad about it so i stopped the conversaition and told her i would talk to her in person about it so i could atleast comfort her if she started to cry. so i ended up driving over there this morning at like 10. and she came outside and we didnt end up talking about what we were talking about the night before. i guess cuz i was hella tired and i didnt feel like upsetting her or like getting in an argurment about. so we just started talking about random things. it was nice except for the fact that i was pouring rain the whole time. and we werent in my car because she likes the rain and she wanted to be in it. so i suffered through pouring cold ass rain for an hour and a half. then i had to worry about ruining the leather in the car on my way home because i was litterally dripping wet. so right when i got home i wiped down the seat and put protectant on it. yeah that may seeem alittle extreme, but its a brand new car and im not trying to mess it up already. anyway. hope all of your guy's day;s are going good. hoping to hear from thoes of you that read my other blog.
talk to you all later.
Wow that was a lot of rain throughout the day yesterday. And the day before that it was gorgeous and all. Now the sun's out and everythings dried up like nothing nhappen. But I was up most of the night so it was pouring huge amounts of rain. A lot of place more down south in Georgia were having tornado warnings and all. Wow it's only been eight days into the new year and the weather's like, umm lets do a bit of this and that and see how people react. Yeeeaaa.
But anyways hello how is everybody doing!? Everybody's going crazy over that dorky picture hahaha. It's me holding the Wii remote and the guy on my shirt Reggie (Spokesman of Nintendo America) is looking like Bruce Lee holding a Wii remotes as well. It awesome! Everybody wants my shirt =P. In other news, school probably started back up today, but I didn't sign up for any classes. Well first still have no car, and really don't have the money anyways. I have a writing board, my brother left a long time ago. I'm going to finally start using it to write out what plans I need to do.
I realize that I haven't had anything really planned. OR more likely I haven't had it written down where I can see it everyday you know. Speaking of my brother. Give him and his wife thoughts and prayers. Something happen to Jennifer. She's not doing very well at all. And I just saw her the other day so it was just weird how that just happen practically the next day. She had to have surgery. something about ulcer bladder, I'm really not to sure. But please do keep them in mind thanks a bunchies ^_^.
