a heart with a twist of lemon

so the end of my day almost ended early as i arrived to a classroom with the following written on the white board:

JOUR 4259
6:15pm Wed
Instructer Kistle is flying in & hopes to be here by 6:30pm. If not here by 6:30 you are free to leave.

6:27 rolls up, and so does the teacher. no worries though, he makes it a quick class. so we end early and that is where the excitement really begins to brew. i step outside and it is dark, as a typical minnesota evening past 7pm should be, i notice a flicker of light in the sky. i hear no thunder, so i figure it must have just been a streetlight turning on. this is until i get around the building and can see the sky having a rave party with flashes of light everywhere but not a crack of thunder in earshot. i continue my walk home with eyes to the skies. the wind starts to pick up and i feel sand hitting my feet. a few drops start landing on my exposed skin, leading up to a all out downpour. the wind kept increasing in speed until the rain was moving horizontally. i pushed my way through the rain and wind. i was forced to remove my sandals as they have leather and that makes for difficult walking. so i continued my journey home, hoping that any leftover broken alcohol bottles from the weekend had already washed into the sewer. the sky kept getting darker, with the exception of flashes of lightning spread about. it felt like either the tail end of hurricane katrina or the beginning of the apocalypse. i made it home, drudging my way up the stairs like a wet dog. this was perpetuated since i was wearing a wool sweater. i went to my room to get a dry set of clothes, and lay out my drenched school bag and its contents. it was as if i had jumped in a lake. i threw my wet clothes over the shower rod. this idea came crashing down as the weight of the clothes were too much for the bar of metal used for curtains of the shower variety. as the rain continues its assault, i must begin my history of rock and roll paper that is due tomorrow.

it's rock and roll at the end of the world!
