Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

Okay, so there are many things I can handle, Blizzards, random gunfire, Oakland. However, there is just one thing that I cannot take and that is an earthquake. Last night I was resting comfortably in my bed, knocked out even and then all of a sudden, the entire earth started shaking. The quake which they said was a 4.2, but I think it was much stronger than that lasted for 10 seconds, which I think lasted at least 10 minutes. My entire apartment shifted and slid around and then all was silent. There weren’t even any aftershocks, that’s how crazy this thing was. The earth was so tired that it couldn’t even be bothered with an aftershock. I’m telling you the whole thing was a mess. The cold part about it is that the epicenter of the quake was in Oakland. I feel like that is unfair. Oakland has enough to deal with as it is, we don’t need earthquakes. We can deal with being on the edge of an earthquake in walnut creek or something, but being the epicenter is doing just a bit too much. So now, anytime a truck rumbles by to loudly or the garage opens, I’m headed to the doorway ready to brave it out. The whole thing was completely unnecessary and now I’m on edge. Man...this whole thing is not the business. Dang...there goes the garage opening again...I gotta go...
Peace Y’all
