c'est finis!!!
Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) - Green Day

Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you were to go

So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a self
Of good help and good time

Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trail
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

((was is?))

lights out - flood pt. II
Category: suckiness
So, here we are, another sunday eve battling mother nature and her torrential rain drops and wind storms. I am sitting here in bed by candlelight hoping an after breeze blows through to cool things down. I went to a cookout that was quickly rained out.So we hung out inside. But only a few hrs later to be faced with darkness... so being a little too happy to drive home, I hung out on the hammock until the rains forced us back inside. A few more hrs later, I thought i'd journey home. While driving, the lights on route 1 went out and for the first time in my life, I saw live power lines burst into sparks along with it's own sound effects! Naturally I scream and begin to panic that chaos would soon ensue. I speed home. I'm tired. I pull into my residential area to find no power present on this side of town either. In addition, there is a gargantuous fallen tree in the area where i'd normally park my car. Thankfully Sebastian & I were not here when the disaster struck and we were not harmed. However, I still began to laugh in some weird form of hysteria. For you see, just last Sunday I was stuck inbetween Maryland & D.C. in a worst storm than today's showers. Me and my friend drove around for hours trying to cross ever bridge I could think of...
But due to severe flooding, all of the bridges were shut down. The city rats were roaming the upper street levels, tractor trailers were speeding down the city/residential street areas, cars were turning completely around on the expressway; It was all to crazy! But definitely an adventure. I'm glad that I wasn't alone & that my friend L-S kept me going. Even if we sang "Walk this Way" & Garth Brooks at 4am!
what a wet week this has been. I am definitely saddened by the individuals who suffered great losses and some even death : (
I pray the worst is over...

power outages
Category: in total darkness...
so I am sitting here in the dark with no power. In and out of a half slumber, I heard a loud kaboom... then darkness fell over the room. luckily, one wall seems to have juice. this happens to be the computer wall. too bad my pc is a bunch of crap that i've tried to reboot for the past hour! so I can charge my cell, bake a cake (if I had eggs) and brew a pot of coffee if need be... The refrigerator didn't make the juiced side of kitchen. good thing I ordered in last night instead of buying $20 worth of groceries...

sick again
Category: food poison
back to work after yet another bout of food poisoning! seriously, I seemed to have encountered more salmonella, botulism, etc. here than ever in my life! the chicken ceasar wrap from the deli @ work did me in... I was sick in less than an hour & I had the works! Still a little queasy with tummy rumbles today. But I packed my bananas, jello and gatorade to go. Gotta make some money. My brother in law suggested that I sue. Others @ work have been struck by the same place in the past...
