New Year, New Fire

Well it has been about a year since the last brush fires occurred in California and guess what? Santa Ana winds are back wreaking more havoc. For those of you who are not Californians, the Santa Ana winds are basically hot and dry winds that annually make you feel like shit.

So basically I woke up to a normal bright sunny day. The next thing I knew, everything in sight started changing color. I was amazed how everything in life turned sepia toned, like that option you choose on your camera to make your pictures look old like the wild west except everything in the picture is very modern and there are no guns and horses and liquor and its on your Myspace default. Facebook too i guess. Yeah, losers. I'm just kidding. Seriously though, life changed color and it was due to the thick smoke in the sky.



I did not realize what it was until my cousin told me there were fires. i soon find out that basically two of the fires surround my school, Cal State Fullerton. I even heard that people in the area were evacuated, so that must have been scary for the people I knew living in the dorms. Thank god all my friends were safe and went to play lazer tag at night. Sorry I couldn't go guys!

So basically when Mikey and I were driving in Fullerton, you could smell the smoke in the air and it was pretty much snowing ash. That's pretty intense. My best wishes and prayers goes towards people whose lives have been directly affected by these fires.



My prayers go out to all the families.
Peace, Love, and Unity,
Omson.
