"No Need to Cry" - British Sea Power

Hello All,

The laundry lint sky loomed over us this past weekend, but it looks like the sun found its way to help usher us through the week so hold onto your receipts (you'll be able to exchanging your umbrellas for parasols soon enough).

Well, a civil unrest between my mind and my heart has been taking place over the past few weeks. First of all, I love driving through our beautiful city when it rains. A cerebral experience where you can succinctly feel so at peace and so in the throes of the earth's cries. It brings me closer to God; a baptizing experience that the sun doesn't want you to know about.

And through the clogged arteries of the Angel, it grants me time to think. Waiting at intersections, I sit there and try to align the rate of my turn signals with that of the car in front of me...

One's always a little too late, one's moving at too fast a speed...sometimes they're not even turned on. But still, I find myself doing it all the time. Blinking, waiting, relieved at the initial synchronization, and then cursing the inevitable departure.

This past weekend, I found myself on Pier and Hermosa Avenues. I had a shitload of boat on my mind; and selfishly, I paid little attention to anything else...

And though I found her in complete unison, all I could do was scold at that inevitable departure; and foolishly, paid no attention to anything else.
