thought this brilliant song from my new fave band/show/way of life flight of the conchords was the only way to properly sum up the last week…
things have been a little mentally unsteady since last tuesday when i discovered that my entire department at work has been laid off as a result of the city paper being bought out still have to stay at work who knows how long until me & my awesome coworkers are phased out…
i haven’t quite figured out the proper way to wrap my mind around this turn of events and begin to figure out where or what is next
until then i delight in the song stylings and general antics of the flight of the conchords, a two-man rock band from new zealand trying to make it big in new york city
sometimes they make me think of another comedy song duo who make my life better, the amazing sifl & olly
still staring at the sky this week… firework residue lingers above, afterburn images play across retinas until the sky appears alive, gives itself up, unfolds its deepest black hole secrets…
as of last night, i have officially decided that the fourth of july is my new favorite holiday!!
it wasn’t until last year when i climbed up onto the roof of my building and discovered the magic 360 degrees of firework madness that my life was forever changed…
from the roof of my building you have a pretty good view of the national fireworks but i am telling you… they are just a fraction of the total insanity that is to be seen
my neighborhood is totally firework headquarters with massive amounts of illegal explosives going off all around & above your head but from the rooftop vantage point you can see them eveywhere you look all the way to silver spring & virginia…
so when the official fireworks finally finish you almost don’t even notice cause there are hundreds more going off all around you the hissing and squealing sounds are only out-louded by what i can only describe as straight-up, no-joke BOMBS!!
i tried to capture the insanity on video but i was too overwhelmed to get good footage but half the magic is just the sounds (check out my other fireworks video)
