Blog Injury
We were having a great storm tonight. Loud, rolling thunder that mutes everything else around you. Lightning that lights up the sky like Vegas. I love storms! I love rain!
The storm must have been worse than I thought. I was sitting here with my laptop blog surfing when there was a loud BOOM. I swear the earth shook as all the lights went out and I heard this large POP. I thought that my light may have exploded and hit me in the leg as I felt something briefly in my thigh. The lights came on immediately and I realized that my light was still in tact, I was shocked by my laptop.
I jumped up to unplug my laptop from the wall. Meanwhile, my smoke detector is going off and I smell smoke. There is still lightning and thunder surrounding my place while I’m trying to get my smoke detector to stop and figure out where the smell of smoke is coming from.
The smoke detector stopped and I never found what smelled like smoke. I stepped outside to see if something was hit but the lightning was still pouring down, making the hair on my arms stand up and pushed me back inside.
No emergencies. But it scared the shit out of me! I might just be the first person to be injured while blogging. Or at least electrically shocked.
Great. Now the government is going to require blogs to carry warning labels :-/

"If you are here and there is thunder and lightning outside - you are huge f*cking moron! Turn off your computer, unplug it from the wall, pack it back in the box and return it to where you got it from. You lack the intelligence to be a computer owner"
Yea...I think that about sums it up!
