Now correct me if I am incorrect.

If this means more sunlight for us in the afternoon,
doesn’t that mean we all get up and start our day
while it is still dark?

Children waiting for their school buses way before sunlight?

Then if this bill is meant to save energy,
doesn’t people use more light “in the dark?”
Isn’t light, “energy?”

Lawmakers also said that,
since there are more sunlight in the afternoon,
that would encourage more people to go outside.

Well, I don’t know about you,
but I don’t know that many people who parties everyday after work,
knowing that they have to wake up an hour early the following day,
in the dark.

Plus isn’t it if there is more sunlight,
equals more heat,
equals constant air conditioning?

And aren’t most establishments close at their normal closing times anyway,
Which leaves normal people no choice but to go home?
I mean of course, it doesn’t include,
those partying, bar-hopping people I don’t know about.

Isn’t the Daylight Savings Time implemented during the war?
Or to help farmers in the old days?

Is it still really necessary to have this put into practice
at this day and age?

Does it really help save energy for the country?

If parts of Arizona, Hawaii, Saskatchewan and some in B.C. does not follow DST,
do they have (or had) any energy crisis we know about?
(Or farmers complaining?)

Oh well, what do I know?
I guess it is best to submit all trust in the government.

After all,
The economy is great.
The war in Iraq is successful, over and done with.
Oil prices have never been so affordable.
Unemployment rate is a thing of the past.
Poverty has been totally eliminated.
And there is cure for cancer.

Oh no wait……

/Prays that America would stop voting for stupid people.
//Canada too.
///Amen

So the power is back up.
And we are seeing the crisis on TV for the first time.
Wow, Here I am complaining about the inconvenience,
when thousands of people are in much worse situations.

But what bothers me is that some people, who did not go through this ordeal,
Has the guts to rub it in, like the bastards that they are.

Just like this guy from Quebec, called in on a radio station,
Saying:
“Well, I am enjoying all the lights around me,
and I am glad I went to the gas station before
all the people from Ontario came here”.

And this other guy who boasted about his 5,000 Watt generator, that he bought,
And announces how he enjoys his air conditioned home,
with food to eat, and a nice comfortable bed to sleep in.

Come on, do you really have to do that?

So anyway,
since the power was back on, I thought, I could go abouts my normal life.

I tried to go and have my windshield repaired,
I called the repair place and told them about my car and asked them how much it would cost,
So they said:
“Even though you will try to claim it on your insurance,
you still need to come up with $300 for
the deductible, then we bill your insurance the rest.”

Fine, since I am selling my car, I need to get this done.

But as I got to the bank machine, They were all closed, due to yesterday’s
power failure.
So I went inside, and this guy stopped me like I was the Unabomber,
He said,
“What transactions are you going to do Sir?
All we could do are deposits and Withdrawals.”
I thought, “Well that’s good, because you are a bank. That’s what banks do.”

So I went in and hoping all would go well inside,
As the Bank teller asks me, “Can I help you Sir?”
I said “Yes, I need to withdraw $300 please.”
“Oh, I am sorry Sir, we could only give out $200.” She answered.

Oh man, I thought I was going to lose it right there.

So she recommended that I go to their other branch which was
miles away to get that extra $100.
So the fool that I am, I was like,
“Sure, as my trip there alone would cost me $100 in gas
Not to mention a whole new break job for all the stop lights are still flashing red”.

But when I was driving, I noticed that most of the stoplights were not working,
So I thought I’d be smart to just go home, and just do this some other day.
I got home, and called the repair shop and asked them if they were open tomorrow (Saturday)
and told them my predicament.

The Guy said, “Really?
I was just at another bank and I had no problems.”

Since I really wanted to get this done, I asked him where it was,
and I surely went there, and I was able to get enough money.

So I drive to the repair shop, and told them:
“Hi, I just called a while ago about the windshield on my car.”
They said,
“Oh yeah, but I have none of that windshield in stock,
come back on Monday or Tuesday.”

As I literally feel my hair falling out from stress,
I just clenched my fist, and went straight home.

Now I have made this conclusion,
With the cascading effect of my bad luck,
it only means my life is back to normal.

And another thing I realized,
There is always something good that happens in a day.

Today, Tyler is 10 months and 1 day old,
He started walking.
On his own,
Unassisted.

Makes me feel proud.
