Power Outage for Bass Man

So, I was sitting in English not doing my work when the power flickered and died. Everyone freaked out, but I and a few colleagues continued our discussion on women. School got out, and as I was about to get on my regular bus, curlyTRUMPET shouted to me from the bus in front.
"Hey, you wanna chill today?" he asked.
"Heck yes!" I replied, and boarded his bus as if nothing were out of the ordinary.
We got off the bus and proceeded to walk back to his house; it was a harrowing journey that included dodging cars and fending off rabid dogs. But we made it.
As soon as we got to his house, we boarded bikes and headed down Manchaca to an acquaintance's house. That was another harrowing journey that again included dodging cars, and for me it also included not scraping the skin off of my feet, as I was wearing flip flops.
Once we got to the acquaintance's house, I sat down at his piano and started playing a Bach tune. But shortly thereafter I was whisked to an eye appointment, where my eyes were dilated and afterwards I had a hard time seeing anything and it gave me quite a headache!
