Ryan Kanno: The diary of an Enginerd in Hawaii

It’s official, I’m scarred for life.

Thanks Bill.

They say you can tell a lot about a person by their inbox. After coming home from a hard day’s work, I turn on my computer, open up my emails and what do I find?

1. Britney spread eagle; here, here, here… and damn, too many to list. (NSFW - To save you some time, check this link out.)
2. A “home video” of Dustin Diamond, aka Screech. You can read a review about it. And if you’re really ballsy, there are tons of clips all over the net, like here.

*Disclaimer* - I am not responsible for any repercussions or side effects that result of you clicking on any of the aforementioned links. Let me repeat, they are not safe for work.

I don’t know what Britney is thinking, but first K-Fed, then Paris, and now this. I’m wondering how her publicist is gonna spin this latest episode. Maybe she just needs some couch jumping on Oprah to turn her career back around. And as for Mr. Diamond… I mean, if you’re gonna make this type of video, at least (no offense) be hot like these two. All I know is that I’m not sure what I’ve done to people in this life or my past life, but I really, really need to burn my eyes out.

I was rudely awakened this morning by turbulence caused from the swaying of my entire apartment complex. After having been violently flung to the floor, I quickly began to recollect the prior evening’s events — thinking I was still somewhat in a drunken stupor.

Realizing that it wasn’t my head spinning, I gathered myself and sprinted down 12 flights of stairs to be greeted by a crowd of tenants who had gathered outside. A feeling of helplessness still lingers; one that I have never experienced in my 28 years of existence, and as I think back on the moment, it still feels all very surreal…

For the record, at 7:07 A.M. on October 15, 2006, a 6.7 magnitude earthquake, centered on the Kona side of the Big Island, rattled the Hawaiian islands. Shortly thereafter, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake followed by dozens of aftershocks sent tremors throughout the state. Though much of the structural damage occurred on the Big Island, Oahu, or at least my apartment building, wasn’t spared. Here’s the damage to our lobby.
