Music has a new meaning.
It all sounds much better.
It feels like it did.
When things were great.

Things are great.
Thank you for asking.
How are you?
That's great to hear.

Playing in our puddle.
With boots, and ducks, and Popsicle sailboats.
Our own little puddle from this great big rain storm.
Life is the act of living, and baby darling we are the living.

Our sunshine is just beyond that cloud.
Our new adventure of the true great act.

I'm having very uncomfortable anxiety tonight.
Welcome back.
You've not been missed.



Taking steps to distant myself from people and things.
The biggest step I've taken thus far.

I'm looking forward to this weekend very much. I'm going to BG for Nate's 23rd birthday. I expect to leave late Friday night, at or around 8pm. Get there, hopefully drink some stuff that I like, and catch up with Heather Keller.

We are getting close to being completely done with school, and we get excited when we start talking about the next thing in each other lives. She wants to move to North Carolina or some crap, teaching high schoolers. I'm sure whatever she does she will like it. Hopefully Nate likes North Carolina, because I doubt he has a say in the matter.

Summer air.
Hot and dry.
I can't breath.
This summer air.

I wanted this.
All winter long.
Now it's here.
This summer air.

I pray I could breath.
I want to.
Sing and
dance and
swoon you.

I plan to.

When my lungs are adjusted.

Adjusted to this summer air.

I check out peoples paintings on myspace a lot.

They all look the same.

My scientific calculator is gone, along with a Plato book.
I suspect that they were stolen from my bag, seeing that I never misplace things.

I hate this gd town.

Pretty much just 2 weeks of school left after this week.

Then I get a week off then I get to take summer courses.

Holla at ya boi.

Summer of 04

The subject of summer 04 always seems to come up around me. No matter who it is, people always talk about it.

It has been scientifically proven the summer of 04 was the best summer thus far for anyone.
That is, until now.
Sumer of 08, much like in mathematics, will double in the fun originally proven by 04.

I miss so many of my friends, and the way things used to be back in the day.
I miss Jimmy, Biggs, Dave, Dan, Rick, and John.
I expect to hangout with all them a lot this summer.
I don't know if they know or not.
I guess it will be a good/bad surprise for them. Depending on how they view it.

I was typing an Emergency Management report on disaster prevention when it occurred. Irony.



At about 7:10pm a loud explosion was heard. I looked out the window and the transformer grid across the street (about 120 feet away) was on fire with visible smoke and flame. I immediately called 911 because students were running toward it.


If you know anything about transformers, it's that they will try to relay transfer power until they are shut down. So this was bad because another explosion was a certainty.



Dispatch answered and I explained that the transformer on the corner of Exchange and Buckeye exploded, and that kids were running toward it. I said that it was going to explode again and that they need to send a squad in case the kids get to close. As I said that the second explosion happened, about 3 times larger than the first. The kids screamed and ran away.



Dispatch said that they will call the utilities department to shut it down. So that was a relief. Response time was about 4-4.5 minutes. 6 units showed up first to block the road and the incident, followed by 2 engines, 1 ladder, a single squad, and then about 10 minutes after the first responders showed, the utilities department showed up to convert and start work on restoring the power. Not to mention a lot of media was there.



No one ended up getting hurt. A lot of reports of students trapped in elevators came through our backup EMA center here at school though.



At about 8:05pm power was restored.





I'm glad that I'm in this field sometimes.


True story. I hope you liked it.

There was a fire on the floor below me last night. It happened at 1:36am. It lasted until 3:34am. A girl was cooking chicken, after a night of drinking. She then got in a fight with her roommate. Then walked downstairs to talk to the police she called. Stove caught, sprinkler head popped. 400gpm is a lot of water to get out of your living room. Especially if the response time was 6 minutes and some change. She had an epic fail for sure last night.

An early century house
hardwood floors, and off-white colored walls.

A small fence in the front
and a green-house in the back.

Picking tomatoes,
watering the ferns.

Feeding the finches,
playing in the dirt with the worms.

I'm always wishing.
Always dreaming up the future.

Fireflies and the summer skies!
Fireflies and the summer skies!

Open spaces, straight to the heavens.

Oh how wonderful this is.

Car rides with no destination
and a night planned with no arrangements.

Youthfulness and flashing memories.

Oh how wonderful this is
Open spaces, straight to the heavens.
Oh how wonderful this truly is
Finally alive once again.

Another April 1st on the interwebs. It always adds for some entertainment but, for some reason this year, I'm not having as much fun as I wanted to. Sure there is Youtube's Rickrolling everything you click on, WOW's new charater race, the "Bard" and Molten Core coming to consoles, and of course Revision 3's all backwards videos, but I'm over it.

Kinda funny, kinda eh.


I look out my window and I see a storm coming.
Dark skies.
You ever think about how quiet winter is?
All that snow really drowns out the sound.
Now that it is Spring, I tried to take a nap but the city kept me up.
Loud construction, workers whistling at college girls, and the sound of skateboards on the pavement.
Birds now wake me up in the morning.
It is a nice change.


Procrastination is killing my life.
Not really.
I just feel like I should be doing stuff.
I have papers to write but that ish is not due until later in the month.

Who knows man...who knows.
