Roof top baby...

This is in Middletown, CT. Luckily no one was hurt. Since this collapse several more roof tops have felt the pain as well. Local businesses can not open either. If you look into the history of Main St. Middletown, you'd find out most of these buildings were built in the late 1800's and early 1900's. I guess we never had snow storms like we are having now back then!

Dear Mother Nature... Please make this winter be one of a kind, please forgive us Americans for all we have put you through.

Kindly,

"Cool" Americans

Ugh of Blah!

So most of you know me. I am 26 years old and still searching for that PERFECT Job. Yea, I'd call it a job right now but I do know once I find it, I would call it my hobby, or my love. The perfect job is something we all put in our minds as our dream... that "What if I win a million dollars and I can really do what I truly love..." Well people, I have come to the determination that I don't need a million dollars. I have my determination and my brain. I currently can not blog about my job or any thing that pertains my job due to the confidentiality agreement every employee has to sign, but do know my "perfect job" is within the company I do work for.

Ironically, this Sunday is the Superbowl. America's greatest February pleasurable excuse to eat fried food while screaming and yelling. For me, I haven't a clue who is really playing against each other. (Maybe I should look that up). BUT I love the commercials. When I was applying for scholarships to go to college I wrote how my ultimate goal in life is to create a commercial for the Superbowl (hint: my perfect job). I would love to say I've accomplished this goal. Someday I will. I know I will. Needless to say, I received the scholarship for $2500. YAY!! Paid me through... 2 classes freshman year? (No comment on the cost of a college education that more than half of college grads from two years ago still have yet to find a job). Oh and the best part about the Superbowl is knowing the Black Eyed Peas are performing.... yes, ladies and gents, I have met them in person back in 2001.

Well people, New England was hit once again with a snow storm followed by some freezing rain & sleet. Ever so lucky!! I hope we never have to go through a winter season such as this again in my lifetime!

Speaking of lifetime, do you ever feel as if you have been continuously upgrading? Today I had a conversation with a good pal of mine, Justin. We discussed the iPhone 4 on Verizon. I received my email stating I had until 3am today to pre-order. I decided to wait until July when the iPhone5 is released. Unfortunately Verizon is changing their plans in the meantime, my data plan for everything unlimited at $30 a month most likely will start at $20 for a limited amount and work its way up... The sad part is, on average I use 50 minutes of my phone minutes on a monthly basis. Of course they would never decide on a 100 minute package and unlimited data plan. AS IF! Seriously, I bet a hundred thousand people would sign up for that deal .... But who am I to say anything, just a Verizon subscriber that is continuously upgrading...

Until next time...
Peace.

Testing!

Good Ol' Mother Nature!

If you have been in the New England area at all since Thanksgiving time, (November of 2010) you probably have noticed the white stuff accumulating along our roadways and taking over every yard and playground available to man and animal kind. It started off with just a small 12 inches... Once the meteorologist declare this as a Nor'easter we were destroyed. Our first real snowstorm, instead of the announced 12 inches became more like 28 inches... 

Then a couple days later, good Ol' Mother Nature decided to give us a break from snow, and land a mixture of snow, sleet and ice all over the Tri-state area along with Massachusetts. No power for hours... some even days...

As you can see, power lines were down because the trees (which New England is populated of) could no longer hold the weight of all this weather!

Soon after a couple small snow showers later, we got hit again. Of course told " no more than 9-12 inches..." And from 11pm to 6am, about 18 inches seemed to fall in my back yard. I couldn't fathom taking a photo of the back yard, it is clearly just all white, you couldn't even see any depth anywhere, accumulated up to about 5 feet of snow. I have no back yard, and after this snowstorm I barely have a driveway. Because of my new hatred of snow, I can only take pretty pictures of nature that has been consumed by the precipitation of Mother Nature.

Well, truth be told, New England may only be good for one thing... The summer. I can not wait for the spring, summer or fall. Well scratch the fall because that means winter will once be on its way.

Till next time.... All New Englanders stay "cool" as "cool can be" and all your outsiders... I'm really jealous!
