Sometimes I really hate St Louis. We had a storm and it took out some generator or some shit like that and we didn't get power back for a while. And by a while I mean 4 days. Four fucking days. Thats just insane. It always takes so incredibly long for them to fix anything here. Its like no one is trained to react to a disaster so we get something like some wind and some rain and everything breaks. We don't even get natural disasters here but the slightest severe weather occurs and everyone freaks out. No power was driving me totally insane too since I'm basically constantly using something that requires power. I sleep with music on (only thing that gets my mind off of everything else in my life long enough I can wind it down and sleep) and I tend to have light on for whatever else I am doing unless I am watching a movie etc. So I spent the last 4 days totally pissed at everything with all of my traditional outlets (video games, movies, reading a book, sleeping, listening to music, bitching online) were seriously cramped. At least its back now but I would kill myself if I went Amish. Its not that I can't go without technology its just that I for the most part would rather not. Its fun to go camping or hiking etc but you plan for those things and purchase specific items to help them. And there we have it.

that was such a horrible day...my boss and i saw several cars smash into each other (i thought i was going to have a heart attack) because none of the traffic lights were working (on baxter and clayton, since you live in ballwin). you'd think people would be smart enough to drive slower and more cautiously when it's raining cats and dogs and there aren't any lights...but people in st. louis are the exception because they just want to get home and away from all the crazy bullshit.
yep...how's that for a rant? oh well...i'd rather have freak rainstorms than really, really bad winters like some parts of the country get. i'd die without a little sunshine.
