The Most Terrifying Thing I’ve Seen Today

Sinkhole in Guatemala Walter Pena/AFP/Getty Images

I admit, it’s a little too early to make this call, but the above picture might be the most terrifying thing I’ve seen all YEAR, let alone just today, so I’m gonna go out on that proverbial limb. What. The Hell. Is Going. On.

Apparently, this sinkhole in Guatemala City ate an entire building over the weekend. In one gulp. It’s like me and a Chipotle burrito. Between this, that unpronounceable volcano and the oil spill (alright, that was man’s fault really) it’s getting too scary to go outside!

It’s O-fficial: We’ll be Dropping July 17

Those being dropped: Ray Turnbull, Samantha Dommermuth, Kelly Carroll, Ray Dommermuth, R.J. Turnbull, Nicole Schulz and Denis Carroll.

As many of you have noticed, I’ve been running a countdown on the right side of this blog, noting the time when me, three of my cousins, one cousin-to-be, my uncle and my dad will be jumping out of “a perfectly good airplane.” Well it never felt so real until today, when I finally made the reservations. Mark your calendars kids, because on Saturday, July 17 at 9 a.m., I will be strapped to a (hopefully hot) tandem skydiver, basically saying, “it’s alright if I die today.”

I’ve never been so scared in my whole frickin’ life. Guys, I’m sorry. But it’s nice to know my family will humor me through mild-to-severe emotional breakdowns.

Scenes from the Green Line…

So, this was my morning commute: walk the 5-7 minutes from my apartment to Cleveland Circle. Discover lots of MBTA workers in orange jackets standing out in the rain with Boston police officers. Realize right then that it’s going to take me approximately five hours and 17 minutes to get to work. Pile onto MBTA bus because the T isn’t running. Creep down Beacon Street in morning traffic, sweating because the bus’ heat is on full blast. Get to the Brandon Hall T stop where I see that a humongous tree has fallen across the T tracks and landed on a car that will never be driven again. Realize that this must be the reason we’re taking the bus. Curse the MBTA for not being completely underground. Get off said bus at Coolidge Corner. Have short conversation with MBTA worker about how big this tree is. He tells me no one was killed. Have mild guilt attack after realizing that people’s safety never crossed my mind while I was too busy bitching about the rain and Boston transportation in general. Get onto packed T at Coolidge Corner and proceed down Beacon Street. Listen to people bitch and moan about the T being too crowded. Want to yell out “no one was killed!” just to make them feel bad. Get to work. Blog. The End.
