today is one of those days where you wish you had an out of control heroin habit. y'know…something to take the edge off. but, alas, i don't have a heroin habit at all, so i guess i should just sit in the back, drink my coke, and chill out on my own…

this morning when i was coming into work, i was getting off my exit, which happened to be pretty clogged up with morning rush hour traffic, when this suv in front of me (not exiting) decided to lose its front passenger side wheel. like…the whole wheel. as the wheel rolled across the highway, the truck screeched out and slammed into the concrete barrier. luckily he was in the slow lane, so he didn't have to avoid any of the other lanes of traffic. or rather…they didn't have to avoid him as he veered out of control and crashed into the wall. as i drove by, it looked like the only things severely hurt were his truck and his pride.

i tell ya…there's something surreal about watching a wheel roll across the interstate at 9 in the morning. especially when it's not attached to a vehicle.

other than that, i was in a great mood when i rolled into work. of course, with this being work, it didn't take me too long to get incredibly pissed at a select few people. but i took care of business, ate some lunch, and now we're back to the heroin-less cool down period.

this weekend is thunder over louisville. this is the big kickoff to the derby festival where we shoot a veritable fuckton of fireworks over our medium sized midwestern city. trying our best to blanket the place in smoke for the next couple of days. my tentative plan is to go watch the event from the top of the elliott warehouse. great view, fun people…sounds like a plan.

only two hours and i'm outta this joint…bitchin'.
