Feeling Energetic
Hearing Alanis Morissette - Underneath
I'm gonna try and see if I can get this done quickly. There is a thunderstorm pending and I'd rather not get electrocuted, I'm already scarred from a recent thunderstorm. You'll get it all once this entry has been read completely.
My cousin Teresa got married. My first cousin, out of all 25 of them, my first one is officially married and is set to live the American dream life. She is also I believe, the oldest of all my cousins. The youngest is 2. Yeah, so I'm talking major company here bitches.
The wedding was nice, blah, blah, blah. I'm not one to rage on about a wedding. A wedding is a wedding to me, but quite frankly I also don't wanna rage on about this wedding to protect myself from anyone who reads this who is related to me. In that case, lovely wedding.
But the point of this entry was to discuss some humorous events that have taken place that day. And it had nothing to do with the wedding, so see, People that attended the wedding, you are safe.
So I decided to go to the church part of the wedding. After all, she was my cousin and I'm close to all one million of them. It was extremely hot that day. In New York that week, New York was going through a major heat wave. I believe that day I topped at like 98 degrees or something. The fans in the church were NOT doing any justice. Instead it was interrupting my hearing of the vows. All I heard was the blowing sound when someone blows in your ears. Really? Do you plan to [blowing noise] through sickness and in health? I would hope the vow actually wasn't "I plan to blow you through sickness and in health." Cuz that must be some marriage. In that case, I want that kind of marriage.
After the church they did the pictures on the steps of the church. At that point it must have been about 101 degrees at that point. With extreme humidity.
The reception didn't start until 7pm out on Long Island. It was, at this point in the story about 2pm.
So we went home.
People came over to see the baby and cooed and awed and held her, pizza came and it was boring to be frank. Then, the sky darkened, and it poured. A few rumbles followed, but nobody would expect what would come next.
It was time for the guests to leave because at this point, the reception would be starting in about 45 minutes and I wasn't even dressed. I put back on my PJ's and hung out with the guests in my PJ's, too. In retrospect, Why would I do such a thing? I should have atleast put on jeans or something.
The guests couldn't leave, the rain suddenly turned into sideways rain. You know, the kind of rain that, when the wind blows so bad it blows it sideways. It was total hurricane scenario. I was keeping my eye out on flying trees and/or cars.
Then the thunder and lightening came. You could tell that the storm was literally over my neighborhood because the thunder and lightening was so intense. But the rain had died down. So my little cousin Mikey, who came over to see the baby, along with my other cousin who by the way, had never been to my house before after I've been living here for about 14 years now, and her boyfriend.
Mikey was just about to make the run from the door to the car when...
BA BAM!
Literally, I could see the lightening rod from the sky touch the floor nearby somewhere across the street. I remember feeling an electric feeling in my left arm, which was holding the door open to let Mike out. It was thunder I've never heard before.
Finally, like a typical summer storm, the sky cleared out and the sun came out and it was 100 degrees again. This time, with firefighters and police cars parking their cars in my driveway. My family all looked at each other in confusion.
The whole block I live on had come out to see the show. About six more firefighters and police cars came by with their sirens on full blast. As if a motherfucker had just killed someone.
After constant journalising around, it turns out the house across the street from us had gotten struck by lightening. Their air conditioning unit had exploded or some shit like that.
That one loud thunder turns out was a lightning bolt that came down.
But bitch, it did--and this was no action movie.
