january rain
a rather rare occurance in minnesota. i cannot remember a january where it has rained before. the rain gathered on the sidewalks, melting away at some of the ice. it resembled large oceans forming on the cement with giant iceburgs floating around.
i was walking home from my 4th, and newest part time job. i am a whole music club assistant. more simply, a music promoter. not only do i get paid to promote, but i also receive money for going to the concerts. this reversal in cash flow at musical events is a trend i rather enjoy. but back to the original focus of this paragraph. i was walking home in the oddity of january rain. a large ocean stood in my path, and with no whale or boat to ride upon i could not cross. so i decided to work my way upon the glaciers. as i dared across this massive chunk of ice, i lost my footing and almost fell to what would have been my doom in the freezing ocean. but i countered gravity by swinging my non slipping foot around and propelling myself to dry ground. tragedy averted.
