6th anniversary of the blackout

For some reason I found out about that fact today. All I can remember is that it was also the same day that I realized that I had to end my marriage. For some odd reason my door/trunk key broke off in my trunk lock and I had to get it fixed, for some reason the locksmith on this little strip of Military Rd in the Falls across from the now fashion outlets had power and fixed it. But in driving back home to Canada at the time I it just dawned at me as I was waiting to cross the bridge that the whole entire relationship was a farce and just pain "Fucked."

It was a beautiful day out today and I guess the hotness of it kind of brought back those emotions associated with it on having the lights go out on many levels at the same times doesn't hurt in bringing things back.

Other than that I just roamed Buffalo while most people were working and it felt great. From watching the young actors reherse in Delaware park to running into @tinypliny it was a great day and walking around for about 4 hours felt pretty good.

As Summer seems like it decided to show up I was also going through some summer songs on Youtube that were big 10 years ago for some strange reason.



As I remember drinking in LA around that time coming back from Vegas.



They were from Canada and started out as a Punk band.



Greg Alexander & Stephie from "All in the Family" totally sold their musical careers short. Just because he got all freaked out about pissing off 4 celebrities he just shut down or at least that's my take on it.

Then I didn't realize the New Radicals reunited and made this Obama song under the name The Not So Silent Majority. Seriously I wonder what would have happened it they did get their minds straight and kept on making records?

    It was a lot of fun walking up the strip with you! :) Were you able to contact @metalpeter? Are we going to the fair tomorrow? We could stop and have that awesome ice cream on the way back. :)

    Those are some really old videos! I remember one of the songs was somewhat back home because they lifted that tune and made a bollywoood version in Hindi! I can't remember the name (or the movie) of that song!

    I haven't walked around Elmwood for that long in a long time. Well I did the thing where a walked it and took pictures and then walked around the Marina and that was fun. Sometimes with Elmwood I'm not Cool Enough and I'm not that other kinda Not cool that is cool, it is tough to explain. Glad you had a good time.

    I can't imagine what it is like to see that it was 6 years ago to just know that the Marriage had to end. I really can't imagine that. I can't even imagine being married. But then again I also don't remember that black out either. But I'm sure if I lived where you did I would remember it well.

    On another note today should be a great time.
