my loss

In the early '90's, I was at New Rock Fest, which was an all day kind of concert, with over fifteen bands. It was an "alternative" kind of thing, when that label didn't really mean anything - very pop. There was some overlap, timewise, between the two stages, so I had to choose between some bands. The only tough decision I had to make was between the Ramones and Faith No More. I really wanted to see the Ramones, but I knew if Faith No More ever came back to town, I probably wouldn't want to pay money to see them, and the Ramones would be back. So I chose Faith No More. I was disappointed. Then, within a couple of years, the Ramones broke up.

I guess there won't be a reunion tour.

I'm listening to another huge block of the Ramones on the radio. The current song is "I Want to Live."

I just heard an R&B/soul version of 'Rockaway Beach."

The sky is dark, the wind is strong, the snow is flying. The power just went out.

I was wondering if anyone would wonder how I was posting, if our power was out. Our department is the only one in the building that is wired into the backup power system. Unfortunatley, my cubicle is the only one in the department that is not connected to the backup power system. My UPS kept me going for about fifteen minutes. And of scourse, out phone system was still operational.

The outage was not caused by the storm. It was just too good a scene not to share. This was the second or third in as many months that the power or phone system has been cut by the construction. Soemone went by the site where they're building a hotel. He said there was a large circle of pink flags marking power lines. Inside the circle was a backhoe next to a hole. Around the hole stood men in electric company coveralls, looking into the hole.
