And the Thunder Rolls...

           It rained today. And when I talk about rain, I mean thundering, intense, powerful torrential rain. It was good though because my whole entire state is suffering from a drought for the history books. Looks like Mother Nature likes to overcompensate. It actually led to complete flooding to the whole city and I actually got a free pass from work not to come in. It was FANTASTIC. What I truly treasured today was being awakened to the wonderful sounds of the storm. The loud thundering and wind has always been a wonderful comfort to me. I love it. It was actually a great start to the day.
           However, all the traffic and flooding did lead to my dad getting in an accident that he won't talk about today. His story was that he was driving and then he got hit by a car. The end. Go figure. He is a man of little words so that didn't surprise me. For a while, all that I got was a call from our insurance company about a crash. This got me worried because my mom got to work just fine. My mind did a whole backflip about my dad dying in a crash and his failure to answer his cell phone didn't help. I asked the difficult question of how I would feel if my dad died and to be honest I couldn't give myself a straight answer. I knew I'd be upset, but would I be bawling? No. I knew that I would miss him though, and that has to count for something, yes? Perhaps this means I have to concentrate on time with my parents more now? It makes me feel unsettled just reliving the moment. Long story short all is well except for my dad's car, I suppose.
         On the other hand, I found this amazing app on my android that let's me talk to people internationally for free!! This includes test messages!!! FREAKING AMAZING!!! It's called viber and I love it. I have family overseas that I don't talk to enough so this is great. On another side note, it looks like this summer is going to be the tits. That is all. I mean, don't want to sound asinine or what not but summer plans for this guy may mean I might have to violate my blog every day resolution. Let's just say that. Kind of really pumped. That's all I'll say

p.s. There's a really nice country song that the title of this entry is from. Love that too.
