BLACKOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!aaah... this lil incident with the power and stuff.... made me realize.. how much we rely on technology and how much of it we actually take for granted... i mean... thursday nite.. got home early from work at wonderland cuz park closed... .so driving home.. i called my daddie n' asked him if we needed can goods.. went to the nearest convenience to buy can foods rite.. i walk in.. its PITCH dark... and there's a humongous line up to buy food and stuff... wow..

and then got home..me n' my daddie cooked food using our camping stove.. uh.. u know.. the hot pot stoves.. yuppidy do.. thats what we made.. we had dumplings.. interesting.. and then we had steak after too.. cuz our fridge was thawing out... and our yummi steaks were gonna go bad.. so steak it was...

sat around...reading magzines... attempting to play the piano with no lite... that was rather interesting... lots of wrong notes.. and then my daddie had this brilliant idea... let's go cruisin.. to look at stars.. we drove.. and u know the strange thing.. i never appreciated street lites.. but with the pitch darkness.. it was scary yet really pretty.. everything was dark.. except for the occasional flitter, flatter of candle fire... and then it was dark...

dark enough to see all the constellation.. and oh. oh. oh.. MARS it was so bright and pretty.. aaah.. amazing...

i never realized how important some things were...
1) communication
2) basic fan/ac..
3) lighting

i mean really.. like no phones.. no cell phones.. couldn't talk to any body.. so forced to sit at home n' talk with my daddie...

and some things.. i realized.. i spent way to much time on.. like TV... i watch too much of it... and even the computer.. i'd spend hours none stop.. and just surf the web... for nothing in particular...but when u can't surf anymore.. u realize.. there's more thigns that you can do .. that are equally satisfying.. such as board games... i found my simpsons.. chess set.. yeah.. i'm a nerd.. but surprisingly enough... i spent an hour.. playing chess with my dad.. at like 3 am.. when it was just too hot to sleep.. i woke up cuz it was too hot..

but yeah.. just so much realization after this black out... so many things we take for granted... so many things.. we waste our time and money and effort on.. that eventually.. will be useless to you..
