Zeus and Thor are sky gods.

I was struck by lightning this morning.

Seriously.

Well, at least I think so. Let me give you the 411 (that means information) and you can decide for yourself.

I left work at 5:30 this morning to discover that it was raining. A lot. And there were massive bolts of lightning illuminating the sky. The water came down in blinding torrents, overwhelming my windshield wipers. Thunder roared overhead like a chorus of pizza and beer belches.

The following events happened in the snap of fingers, in the crack of a whip: I felt a slight warmth just as everything went white. An electric crackle and a transistor-like pop resounded loudly above my head. And then the world came back.

Was my car stuck by lightning? It wasn't just like a bright bolt near me, all around me was a single blinding strobe of light, and the thunder peal like a shattering light bulb sounded like it was mere inches from the top of my head. Does anyone know what happens to a car if it is struck? Will the electrical system be kersizzled? Do the rubber tires ground-out the vehicle?

I had better be careful; the sky gods are aiming for me.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

You know me and my opinion of storms :)

[maeghanne.livejournal.com]

I do.. but if you are dead your opinion is much less valid!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Lots of people die enjoying what they love. Does that make their enjoyment any less valid? What about all the people who have heart attacks while fucking? Should they have never fucked? ;)

Oh I see... now we are getting into this age old debtate. Actually, I am of the belief that I should live my life doing what makes it fulfilling to me and not cowering at the thought of loosing it. That would make my life meaningless... but everyone else on the planet is actually here to serve me. (did you not get the memo) You are of no use to me dead! :)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Ah, no I didn't get that memo. Well shhhhiet!

[maeghanne.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA!

[kiwikat.livejournal.com]

i disagree. people still take the opinions of many of the dead very very seriously. philosophers, politicians, john lennon.....

[maeghanne.livejournal.com]

Yeah.. I knew someone was going to point that out... :)

[kiwikat.livejournal.com]

: ' ( i'm so predictable.

[maeghanne.livejournal.com]

no, no. I just have faulty logic...

[kiwikat.livejournal.com]

okay!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Logic is only good for math and map reading anyway :P

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Good point! And it's even worse because dead people can't later say, "Oh, nevermind that, I was SO full of shit before!"
