About a month and a half ago, lightning struck my house. No serious damage was done to my homestead but the lightning struck the one thing that I would notice was missing....My Internet connection.

As I stood out on the back porch watching the rain wash away the remains of my doggy's muddy paw prints from my driveway, a bolt of lightning sliced through the sky and past my trees to hit a seemingly harmless patch of dirt.. Alas, that was not the case. The area that had been hit, lit up like gunpowder poured on the ground. The fire snaked its way through the backyard and traveled past my back fence into the "Green Stake." The "Green Stake" is actually the conduit for the cable in my house... Soon, smoke began to appear from the bottom... A low hissing echoed through the open fields, and then, BBBOOOOOOMMMMM!!! No more Internet....No more cable....No more senseless and unless entertainment...*sigh*

Chaos ensued...I had, by far, way too much free time and and overactive imagination. Things were blown up on a constant bases... No teddy bear was safe, no action figure could hide, no cheap china plate could evade my evil clutches.. Anything that I could strap illegal fireworks to, I did.. and for a brief moment I was entertained. Then, my mom found out....My eye when blackened and fireworks were dowsed with water and thrown in the garbage. 'twas fun while it lasted..*sigh* again.

More chaos ensued...I began to harass my grandma. She is old and that made it all the more interesting. Don't get me wrong, she isn't all sweet and timid and meek like all those grandmas you see on TV. Oh, no...she is much feistier. We began to argue and make fun of each other all in the name of entertainment. That also didn't last long. My grandma is a sore loser and she decided that she didn't want to play with me anymore....*sigh* one more time.

So, what is a girl to do that has way too much free time and a cellphone???? AHAHAHAHA!! Random text messaging!! YAY!!! Other the course of the last few days of my Internet depression I began to send My Captain's Log.. A log dedicated to my trials as I embarked on this journey.. ENJOY!!


((*Captain's Log Entry 0.0 The Beginning*))
I shall start writing a log because boredom has extended into the deepest depth of my soul right now. My Internet is gone, my mind is a blank, my pants are missing, and I can't seem to keep the crew entertained. This will be my toughest challenge as a captain thus far. I admit that I do absolutely nothing and make it look hard but, that is the role of any good captain. We have been concerned about this moment for sometime now. The Internet had always been a little uneasy. I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. I have been storing certain items away in case of emergency. Hopefully, this "Blackout" will end soon and chaos will be soothed. Pray for me, world....Because I'm gonna need it....
