The morning after

You've seen me post pictures of the surrounding area around my house before. Its a normal neighborhood, just people who live in close proximity to each other going about their daily lives. As happens from time to time rain falls and slightly messes up the scenery. Well last night there was nothing slightly about it

About 10:15 the storm hit, hit hard and fast at first the lights just flickered off momentarily, which has happened before hell in my previous weeks blog(the one where I have all the rain pictures) I told you about the mini blackout that I missed. This time I didn't miss anything first there was the flash of light and then there was the boom the knocked all the lights out. It seems that during the commotion a power pole and powerline were both snapped. A transformer must have blow somewhere too because too many spots have no lights for it to be a single line doing all this damage. I would like to think that in our modern age we don't have all our eggs in one basket like that.

Its kind of funny I had a late night anyway due to a failing hard drive in byhalia and had only been home for a good 20 minutes before the power went out. Now understand I am an admitted digital junky, I have these two phones, I have a desktop, when I surf I tend to have at minimum 5 windows up at all times and said 5 window always have at least 2 tabs open on them. So while yes I do eventually sleep I am the king of digital overload

I had plans to do lots of stuff on facebook, possibly finish up a few blogs, tumblr a few things, watch the latest smallville episode that I missed, watch bleach(latest episode would have been posted this morning) and prepare for a normal workday. Now I'm stuck trying to charge my phones using car charges and watch the daylight vanish to return me to darkness. Which being the gremlin that I am, I love the darkness, I just don't love the quiet, I have become partial to the humms, buzzes, shifting and settling of our digital companions. It used to be the street noises, but I have long since gotten over my dependance on them for a good nights sleep.

At least in this iteration the blackberry bold whoops the motorola backflip when it comes to battery life, at like 75% with me talking on it for hours last night and texting for hours today the blackberry didn't run out of juice for over 12 hours. Sitting there with me just deleting a few items off of it the backflip barely lasted 3. Battery life has always been my issue with this phone, I love the features and the abilities im trying to figure out why its been so glitchy since the firmware update, but for the most part it had always been serviceable save battery life. And never had its lack of battery life been so apparent as it was last night.

I've loaded my android with a handy flashlight app(that came in very handy during the storms aftermath), and it has a little battery life digital indicator on it as it quickly ticked down last night it reminded my how dependant we have become on our digital devices. Mainly because they keep gettint lost I don't have a "normal" flashlight in the sense of that big battery operated single beam of

Well I'll be gosh darned after already being washed back into the stone age what is this I hear above my head? Why its the patter of more ran drops, if anybody says the universe doesn't have a sense of humor I wish to point you to this day. As I have no desktop I will post this "raw" now and adjust the photos and add any html linkage that I feel appropriate when power is restored.

Ol' Primal is still here and plunkin away, I just can't make use of all my toys(at the moment)

Running, running, running

Hello my dear readers I know I still have yet to do the "Hanna" blog it has been a hectic week. I will do it tonight(possibly on this car trip since I'm gonna miss Smallville), I've had to deal with a hack attempt on my computer(which failed mostly, they fried my safe mode I haven't had time to find the registry prompts yet to repair it), had a few late nights, still haven't gotten over my Collergy, but I did find my backflip(it was in the damn front yard).

I've been rained on a few times this week, I've read a few blog entries by others, I have mildly been getting my tumble on. I have gone back to my sporadic Tweeting(and killed my cousins car charger). I am pondering giving Ero his own section of the ponderings, I want to nurture my baby brothers wit and curiosity. He'll just have to obey the rules if he wants to do it. Posting only,(means I'll have to start editing for real) its still my blog he wants to do it, likes it and wants full control he'll have to start his own blog.

The Trailers for Hanna

The Debt

This is a revenge thriller about 3 people who track down some monster german doctor, to make him pay for some past crimes. I've seen this trailer before but this time it was a little cut off so the details are fuzzy to me right now. 2 men and 1 woman are having a flashback moment about some fateful day with the kidnapped the monster to stand trial in the outside world. And something went horribly wrong.

Warrior

Warrior is the story of two brothers on a collision course in a mixed martial arts tournament. One is a return fighter turned school teacher, bills are piling up and the big score promised for winning this fight will help him bring solvency to his family. The other is a soldier recently returned home from war a hero in need of direction. The relationship between brothers and father was dysfunctional at best and it seems the stars are gonna give them a chance to settle it old school style. Brother against brother, muscle against muscle, wisdom against youth. Kinda feel like this is me and Lank sometimes because we have about that age difference.

Anonymous

This is the story about "Who really wrote of all shakespeares plays and sonnets". An action and suspense filled thriller making you wonder exactly who is the brilliant mind behind all those Characters that some of us loved and some of us hated back in english lit, drama and creative writing. The trailer was kind of chaotic and it looks like a wild ride.

Fast 5

Yup two weeks in a row for the adrenaline rush flick. The street racers are in Brazil going for a 100 million dollar score and the only thing between them and the open road is The ROCK. Fast cars, Hot babes, over the top action yeah this is definitely a Fast movie

Man am I seriously out to lunch right now

This is turning out to be one hell of a 24 hour period, in the last 12 hours alone I have

This is the backflip opened out

1.  lost my phone







2. Broken another braided resistance ban

I just bought this one what 4 blogs ago

This is it coiled up all nice

3. and have yet to get rid of this cold from hell, allergy explosion collergy whatever it is.

And just when I was about to get my" Sesame Street" on

 

For those of us who grew up with that fond, PBS offering of people interacting with life size puppers(muppets actually I forget where Jim Henson got the name muppet from but we all know what they are) the show always began with the sing song

"Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away, on my way to where the air is sweet, can you tell me how to get, how to get to sesame street"

Well as the pictures show the clouds decided to come back with:friends, ammunition, back up, all




terrain vehicles, extra clips and pets. The skies opened up yesterday and decided "Memphis!! You need an external enema". It went from kinda cloudy, to drizzly, to GREAT FLOOD, to super soaker, to water gun, to dollar store squirt pistol. That rainstorm was so schizophrenic that while it did get my cloth timberland jacket and the bottom of my pants soaked(it seems it also took a few lives and knocked out the power) my day was more inconvenienced by people not answering their phones during the day than I was the water.
Lank(my little brother he's filled out since his younger long and lanky days, but its still one of his nick names) informed me that I missed the mini black out(to which I showed him that picture in traffic where you could barely see the car in front of you), I told him about all the terrified people in Walmart. I'm not claiming to be a "Tornado whisperer" but I've noticed if the rain is coming down hard and heavy your okay. When you just get the sound and the thunder and the rain seems to slow up artificially, worry.

Now this is not to say I was uninconvenienced by the rain, our internet appeared jacked for most of the night. Thus why this blog is being finished today, not last night.

The power of YOU

It's a rainy night in some dark, desolate looking locale, floating on the breeze is a song "sweet dreams are made of these" in a slow almost pained moan. We are taken into a room two younger girls, one blonde one raven haired sit clutching each other as a man comes in and shakes his head. The blonde runs into a bedroom to pull the cover off the now departed soul, a female and she looks a a tall balding chubby male who seems to be cheerful at the passing of this woman.
