Rain, Rain, Go Away!

OK, I realize this is going to sound crazy or like I have the biggest ego in the world. But I can’t help thinking it.

The fact is, So. Cal. has gotten a record amount of rainfall this past year. Especially this past month. It rained for a week straight a couple weeks ago! Everyone’s talking about how crazy it is!

Back in Colorado, they are having a huge snowfall problem. As in, the snow isn’t falling. It’s going down as the least snowfalliest year in a long long time.

So I start thinking.

When I was in Colorado, the snow fell according to plan, and the rain didn’t fall in California.

Now I’m in California. The rain is falling here, the snow is not falling in Colorado.

I don’t think it has anything to do with global warming. Or, rather, maybe it does. And maybe global warming is tied to me. Maybe I am the physical embodiment of global warming! I mean, there is an obvious causality there, right? California + Me = massive rain. Colorado – Me = no snow. And now that I think about it, when I visited Kauai one year, it rained every day. You might say it always rains every day in Hawaii, but I think this rain was bigger and heavier than normal.

So perhaps cities that need rainfall can hire me out. Fly me first class to wherever they need some accumulation…put me up in a four star hotel…wine and dine me…generally make me really comfortable and well fed. And then wait for my global warming powers to bring precipitation their way. It might be a long wait; but as long as the hotel has a fantastic pool and hot tub, and the restaurants cater to my every beck and call, then I don’t think I’d have a problem with it. And then once I establish my rainmaking abilities here in the States, I can go global with it. And jack up my prices, obviously, because there’s only one of me and so many places in the world that would need me! And then Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey can suck it, I’d be the richest person in the country. Not that money buys happiness, of course. But it does buy a lot of shoes and tons of banana chocolate creme brulee. And that counts for something!

I’m just sayin’, it seems like I’m a part of the only logical conclusion to why it’s been so freaking rainy here in LA this winter!

My girlfriend, Jenn, came out to help me play in the rain and take tons of photographs around West Hollywood! She’s an amazing and inspiring photographer that I met on flickr back when I still lived in Colorado, so it’s been so fun to live close to her now and go on photo dates together! She was nice enough to join my in my bench monday shot for today.
