House-breaking

On Monday I was given a rare opportunity. A friend of mine is building a new house, but must first demolish the old one. I asked if I could have a couple hours with a sledge hammer, and she kindly agreed. I don't think I really had a lot of stress or anger, but I nonetheless broke as much of the interior of the old house as I could in the time I had. We made a video of the event. After searching for the right background music, I settled on a medley of selections from Rage Against the Machine. Very fitting. I did get a blister on my left hand and I also managed to hit my left foot with the sledge hammer, but all in all it was well worth it. Nothing like breaking things without breaking the rules.
