god of thunder...and, of course, rock and roll...

just as i was leaving to go over to Jacques' tonight, this tornado warning crap happened...or at least at that point i happened to notice it on the tv...so i gathered up the dogs and went to the downstairs hallway area with my mom...woke my dad up too, but it didn't take long for him to grumble that it's already past us and went back to bed...then i thought the coast was clear...going out to midtown was a bad idea 'cuz there's flooding happening on the roads, so i decided i might as well go back upstairs and play some guitar...i was fine-tuning this killer riff i had recently come up with and working into a raging solo when the tornado came and tore the roof off the house!!! shit was blowing everywhere but i kept it up, i was fuckin' wailin'! i could feel the energy as my hair blew up into the night sky! but this was no wind machine! *I* was the wind machine! i was poundin' the strings as heavy as the wind and hail were pounding my body...the more furious the storm, the more furious i ripped the fretboard! then as i was building up a huge climactic ascension, the winds picked me up and i was being spun around up in the air! still i missed not one beat! if anything my playing was getting faster, i was throwing 128th note flourishes all over the place...the solo then progressed into rabid streaks of finger-tapping...my fingers were all over the neck...both hands...there were moments when all 10 fingers were tapping simulatenously! i almost lost it when the first bolt of lightning struck me! but i quickly used the electrifying energy to rage even harder! i was soon being hit by these lightning bolts from all sides...sparks were shooting out of my fingertips! for about a minute i countinued to shred my solo without even touching the guitar! i was zapping the notes like the mighty Thor! the instant i brought my hands back onto my axe, a gigantic surge of electricity blated out from the headstock, slicing a nearby tree in half! and on my solo twisted on, ravaging the night more ferociously than the wind could ever dare! then just as i gracefully descended a pentatonic scale the storm finally dropped me back down into my room and the solo was complete...i must honestly say that it was the single greatest moment in rock'n'roll history...quite possibly the history of the entire world...but anyway, earlier today a package from Meghan arrived in the mail containing 3 Nick Cave-related books...i've already started reading The Birthday Party & Other Epic Adventures...i wish i could give her an official lj thank you, however, she has unfortunately just deleted her journal...i guess that's all i have to share for now...hopefully the rest of ya'll shall one day know and live rock as i have and do!!!
p.s.
and the a/c was fixed today...well, the upstairs unit anyway...it's still broken downstairs, but it's nice for me 'cuz the upstairs one is cranked up higher to help cool the downstairs as well too...so for the time being i'm cooler than usual...(and, uh, i'm usually pretty damn cool...THAT'S RIGHT!)
