Last Saturday I was closing my station after a busy night at the restaurant I work at. Shortly after the last guest left, a light rain began to fall. I made my way to the back alley with pots of scalding hot grease to dump into our 55 gallon oil drums. That strange rain smell permeated from the asphalt while I transferred dirty burger grease, burnt brussel sprouts, and oil that fried so many shiitake mushrooms it became infused with the aroma. I found peace in the brief moment where the rain hits the hot oil, gently bubbling and sizzling until the temperatures meet.

sitting on the fire escape waiting for my roommate to get home from work. the rain has gotten to the point where the pitter patter of drops on my head and shoulders is kind of comforting. giving me lots of time to think. maybe some piece of the world knew i needed to take a break.

A rainy night sparks my mind into one mood: contemplations over a jazz record. Jazz and rain go hand in hand like Tom and Jerry, like peanut butter and jelly, or like tomato soup and a grilled cheese. The inspiration is watered and here lies the new greenery.

Non-negotiable. Sweep up, scrub down, play RnB. Reset.
