snow + apocalypse = snowpocalypse

SNOWPOCALYPSE -- A weather condition in which the amount of fallen snow, while not really such a big deal, wreaks havoc on a city (not use to snow), effectively shutting it down and leaving its citizens stunned and unable to see any sign of hope or a return to normalcy. It's perceived much like the aftermath of a nuclear event, but really... it's just snow!!

It is true -- 1 drop of rain brings this city to a standstill! Well -- 1 drop of rain - 1 drop of anthrax - 1 single snowflake - or if the sun is sitting at the hypotenuse of Federal Triangle adjacent Pennsylvania Avenue in da morning before 8am - all brings this city to a standstill but that’s beside the point. In this case – I’m actually going to stand up for the city. The past two weeks were horrible.



When I hear thunder – I expect rain – NOT SNOW! I mean – what do you call that “Thundersnow”? They say the wind reached 50-70mph. That’s not a blizzard – that’s a flurricane! LMAO – now that was funny (farce)! But if you know me -- than you know I wasn't going take this laying down... Being the Alpha Male that I am (nosy) I decide that was going to go see what all the fuss was about. (this version of the story sounds so much better than the way it actually went down) Just as I got outside Jack Frost decides to become a comedian. (Black Ice -- need I say more) Yeah that hurt but if I could just make it to the warmth of my vehichle. I made it! Although hurt'n -- I needed to drive around the block to quench my curiosity. Okay - im on the road "bumpy" turn on some heat -- defroster rear & front *CRAAAAACKED* (WTF) YELP -- YOU GUESS'D IT -- MY ENTIRE WINDSHIELD!

Before the storm started some friends and I decided that we were going to have a snow party (you know who you are) well that never happened and I was disappointed. But you can’t keep a good man down – and Cabin Fever is just not my thing! So in the middle of the night I called my drank’n buddy and ask’d him to come join me (a true friend). Once he arrived the party started and we drove to pick up two others. Old Man Winter would not get the best of me. I’m buzzed – happy – talk’n loud – try’n to out talk or louder than err body – defying Mother Nature and the “Old Man” – ssshhhhhhhut up...!!! I know the POWER did not just go out!

But it's ALL JOOD!!! I had a new windshield installed...



In most cases, "Snowpocalypse" is really the panicked reaction of the citizens and NOT the actual snow that makes the situation worthy of the title. Well not this time… It was outta control! Now I am driving to St. Elsewhere with 5 friends in stow. In case you're wondering exactly where is St. Elsewhere located -- it is that place when your power just went out and you don't know where in the hell your gonna go and you're running & running to get to "somewhere" and Jack Frost all up in your ear "Remember Me..." but all you want to do is get into your car, a cab, or cubby hole but you can't get there quick enough -- you can't run fast enough cause it hurts -- you're screaming inside but the only thing coming out is oooohhh-whoooo (deep voice) and you can't hear or see where you're going and forgot from where you came and why!

THIS IS THE ROAD TO  "St. Elsewhere!!!  Have you been there...???







My friends from “snow states” are laughing at us and saying, “Oh those poor Washingtonians can’t handle a little snow.” I agree - - DC isn't ready for much of nothing - but you gotta admit that 40inches at once is a lot of damn snow no matter where you from! And that was only part 1.





People HATE Hummers and LOVE "little cars" but my truck was Snowtorious B.I.G during this weather. Now don't get me wrong -- I'm all for saving the environment and fuel efficiency but none of those people I pulled out to safty seemed to mind that I wasn't in a "Smart Car!"



Driving around was crazy – I felt like I was in a scene from Narnia. Some people abandoned their cars and ran for the hills. We saw cars & trucks coming towards us facing the wrong way. People were stuck in ditches, stuck in snowbanks or stuck on a Jersey barrier / wall. 

Okay -- how exactly did the snow plow get stuck on the Jersey wall??? HOW?

Snowpocalypse!



Snowmageddon!



Snowtorious B.I.G




Whatever you prefer to call it -- I WAS HERE!!!

Michael Jackson Unmasked

The 'King of Pop's' full autopsy report was just released, and it reveals some information that has and has not been made public before in the media.

According to the Los Angeles County Coroner's 51-page report, regarding Michael Jackson's untimely June 25th passing, his death is now officially labeled a homicide. The report also went on to state the following:

--We all know that Jackson died of "acute propofol intoxication." But did you know that an anesthesioliogist was hired as a consultant and summarized, that there were "no reports of its use in insomnia relief?" The consultant also went on to state in the report, that the "recommended equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation was not present. The standard of care for administering propofol was not met."

--There was speculation and denials that Jackson had the skin pigmentation disorder vitiligo. The report confirms that the singer did in fact have the disease and was covered with patches on his face, chest, abdomen and arms.

--Jackson wore a wig. A section of skin above his left ear was totally bald, due to 1984 accident when his hair caught on fire while filming a Pepsi ad. His sparse, short, dark, curly hair was sewn & “connected to a wig”!
--Right on the tip of the pop idol's nose was a bandage.

--Jackson had scars everywhere on his body: face, legs, shoulders, arms, neck even behind his ears.

--He apparently had a few tattoos, both eyebrows and a small pink one near his lips.

--A total of 13 "puncture wounds" were found on Jackson's body -- on the right side of his neck, both arms and both ankles. Michael Jackson had several broken ribs as frantic rescuers pumped his chest after he collapsed in cardiac arrest. Four injection sites were also found above or near to Jackson’s heart which appeared to be the result from attempts to pump adrenaline directly into heart in a failed bit to restart it.

Three of the injections had penetrated the heart wall - causing damage — but a fourth missed and hit one of the 50-year-old star’s ribs.
The autopsy report also found unexplained bruising on Micahel Jackson’s knees and on the fronts of both shins. And there were cuts on his back, indicating a recent fall.

--In addition to propofol, the autopsy stated, the 50-year-old had a host of drugs flowing through his body--lidocaine, diazepam, nordiazepam, lorazepam, midazolam and ephedrine.

--Unfortunately, Jackson was battling quite a few medical problems at the time of death--"chronic lung inflammation, respiratory bronchiolitis, diffuse congestion and patchy hemorrhage of right and left lungs."

--The coroner also reported finding a closed bottle of urine on a chair in the bedroom, where the singer died, along with a box of catheters, disposable needles, alcohol pads, several empty orange juice bottles, a string of wooden beads and a green oxygen tank.

--At the time of death, the world's greatest entertainer weighed a mere 136 pounds and was 5'9" in height. Jackson was categorized as "thin" on the report.

Dr. Conrad Murray, who was Jackson's personal physician was charged with involuntary manslaughter on Monday. The cardiologist, who was with the singer when he passed away, pleaded not guilty and faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
