While I was cleaning and the storm is rumbling outside…the lights flickered and almost went out.

I love this kind o’ storms.

Yep, the power just went out….but because my cable modem has backup power….I can still get the internet until it kicks the bucket! Woot!

Well, the power came right back on after like five minutes of being out. It has been raining since about five o’clock here in Denver and it is the most wonderful thing to have the rain, the thunder and the screen doors open. First the smell of rain is amazing. I think it’s like crack to me. I love deep breathing the scent of recently fallen water into my nostrils. My brain goes into a tizzy and I get a little dizzy.

Almost started rapping there for a second. On second thought. For Monday’s Videoblogthing, I’m doing a rap video.

I’m just sitting here sipping on my other crack (earl grey tea with two sugars) and just relaxing on a quiet Sunday evening as the spring storms overstay a little longer in Denver. Until the snow comes. Then my doors and screendoors will be shut. Cause it’ll be to frackin’ cold out there.

All this to say…I love Denver.

I had a old desktop computer back in the day and it’s been gathering dust.  I finally hooked it up and…got it to work!  And the thing is…this was where all my old mp3 files that I miss so much were…meaning…I found all my old music I loved but could never listen to again…can I just say I’m pleased with myself that I managed to coax it back to life.  However, I don’t think I can ever shut it off ever again.

A TORNADO WARNING is in effect for eastern Arapahoe County until 7:45 p.m. after a tornado was spotted on the ground near Deer Trail.

update:

KUSA – Tornado sirens went of in several parts of the eastern metro area on Thursday evening and a tornado reportedly touched down in eastern Arapahoe County.

The tornado reportedly touched down nine miles west of Deer Trail and about 36 miles northwest of Limon.

It is not clear if there was any damage or injuries.

A funnel cloud was also spotted northeast of Denver International Airport, but a spokesperson for DIA says they do not believe it touched down.

Some flights were rerouted to different runways and an announcement was made to airport passengers and employees to stay alert for more instructions.

A tornado warning went into effect for Adams and Denver Counties because of the funnel cloud.

Denver suffers notoriously from multi personality disorder when it comes to weather. Funny thing is the people who live here (me included) love it! It can be sunny one minute and then half an hour later rain/snow/sleet/cats/dogs are flying through the sky. It’s great.

As evidence I present the weather forecast from 9news.com

Just some photos from my wanderings around my block.  I’m gonna start to take walks after work and soon upgrade into running as I slowly ramp up.  I need to lose some weight.

Well today was a great day.  Not just good, but great.

You ever have those friends that no matter how long you stay away there’s always something keeping the connection alive?  One of those friends is Vanessa and she’s a peach and a half.  She’s put up with my eccentric oddity since High School (we made it through somehow alive) when I was a junior and she was a freshman.  I leaned on her, she leaned on me and a solid friendship was born.  She’s totally opposite of me in politics, beliefs, religion and everything else…and yet I still treasure her as my friend.

I know.  It’s a terrible play on the whole “I see dead people” but I thought it was funny.  So take it and shove it in your pipe and smoke it.  Or something.  Muah!

I’ve been back in Denver since Thursday.  I’ve ventured out to explore my new neighborhood and I’ve found a countless Korean restaurants, Mexican food places and tons of fun lookin’ food places that I’ll need to sample over time.  I’ve actually discovered that I live near a famous Denver eatery called Sam’s #3.  This place has been featured in the Denver Post and The Rocky Mountain News along with the various media outlets here in the Mile High City.  To say I’m required by law to visit this place soon is understating it.

As I get closer to my departure to Denver (it’s now exactly seven days away) I was checking out Denver events and found something.  Denver is hosting Denver Restuarant Week from Feb 24-March 2, 2007!  That’s right about the time I land!  So I decided to get out and do something myself.  In support of the event I’ll be dining at two places.  The Wellshire Inn will be my dinner place on the 28th.  I’ve driven past this place so many times in Denver that I start drooling because I’ve heard just how good the food is and how nice of a place it is inside.

On the 27th, I’ll be eating at Prime 121 which is a nice little place in Cherry Creek.  Never heard of it and it looks like a new place so we’ll see how it goes.  I’m excited to get out and do something with my little life.

The nice thing is the price during the week is set at 26.40 for one person.  I’m excited to dine at places I would never have a chance at normally.  Gives a regular workin’ man a chance to live the high life.  If you’re a Denver person, take a peek at the website above and take part in supporting the city!
