Came home from work on the 407 and then went swimming...had a BBQ and hung out in the backyard by the pool the rest of the evening. It was actually really nice.

I didn't really care either way...there was no way I was going to even attempt getting out of Brampton last night its crazy enough when the lights are actually working....just decided on the quickest route home.

My bro parked in my spot so I parked in someone elses, got double parked, argued with two stupid Russian bastards after to move it so I could go to my girl's place and smoke a joint and crash (nothing else to do, and I live on the 16th floor). Finally get the car out, go over there (the ride was really trippy hehe) ( ididn't even see the intersections on Dufferin because there was no other cars). I get there, and our freind has no bud, and couldn't get anyone to deliver. I wasn't about to go pick up weed in the pitch black with cops cruising around o nhigh alert mode. So we all just chilled and at 2:30 her power came on.

She was tired, so i jetted, thinking the power was on. I get to Bathurst and 7 and realize everything east of Bathurst is pitch black, really ******* cool. At the same time, some ******* undercover pulled a guy over just before the turn off. Like cmon there was absolutely nobody else out there. So i'm on Bathurst, I get to just before Steeles and I notice, but of course, my shithole neighbourhood is in blackness. It felt like 28 Days Later or something. So I go home, walk up 16 stories (emergency elevator stopped working) got inside and passed out. Wake up today and still no power (or running water for ur info) till almost 3 pm.

Sorry for ranting, but it's been unpleasent. Couldnt even get high and trip out on the stars damn it.

Directed traffic...most of these drivers are morons...doesn't anyone know when a traffic light is out, it becomes a 4 way stop??? I just don't understand...enough pedestrians almost got killed by some of these morons so, I parked up on the grass, and started directing traffic. Then late at night, since we were still in the dark and i didn't need to go to work, a bunch of us neighboors in my area got together and had a barbeque and got sloshed...not a bad day if you ask me. heh.

Cheers,
Buddah.

We watched the stars last night, then came home at a bout 10 pm. Got up this morning boiled water on the BBQ to make coffee, went to the in-laws for a while (they have a generator) then went swimming at my parents. The power came back on here at 3:15, exactly 23 hours in darkness.
All in all we had a good time and other than the heat there were no problems.
