oh what a day.

Ok at what point on Thursday did I say I needed to have one of the worst days of this new year. OH and to top it all off I can’t even really complain about it. First I have to say that you know the day is going to be bad when the first thing you do after waking up is grab a beer from the kitchen. OH yea a beer before work just so you can get through the day. Yea this is what it has come to just so I can get to work. Not stay there at work just get there. And the really sad thing is I could walk into work with the beer bottle in my hand and they wouldn’t even give a flying crap about it. Well that is how the day started. But I knew the day was going to get better because I only had to do a half day. Why you might ask? Well my best friend had won some tickets to a taping of a tv show. Now I am sure that the people that may read my blog may have heard about how bad the traffic is in LA. I am here to tell you that for some reason it was the worst that it has been in months. For reasons that I have yet to find out or know why. But from this I was late getting to my buddy’s place and we were kind of late getting to the taping. Now after seeing this show I can tell you for sure that it wouldn’t have been that bad of thing if we had missed it. I had forgotten just how much I hated the whole Hollywood thing. My god these people couldn’t be more fake and I am so “don’t you know who I am type of people.” And this show was one of the worst that I have ever seen on TV so if it makes it to TV I will kick a cat. It was some kind of “roast” type of show. It was bad comedy on top of bad jokes. My friends and I were taking bets on just how long if this thing happened to get on the air it will last. The answer is not long at all.

Now after sitting through that amount of crap I was ready to go home and just try and get this day behind me but hell the day wasn’t done with me yet. On the way home I seem to have forgotten a very very important thing about driving a car. I am running out of Gas and what it’s the day before payday so what the hell am I going to do? I have a couple of coins in my pocket and some in a cup I keep in my car. But hell I don’t think I will be able to make it home on this. But hell at least I could try. Let’s just say I didn’t make it to where I wanted to. At 11pm I am stuck in a parking lot close to home but not close enough to walk. So hell I have an SUV I can sleep in my car until my paycheck clears the bank and I can get home. Now I wasn’t to upset at this point for a couple of reasons. One at a gas station down the road I ran into a guy that had lost everything in Katrina and for all the troubles I have been through I really don’t have it bad at all. And the other was even more depressing. Seems this guy I ran into on the street had just lost everything because of a car accident. Now I know my life has nothing on these two guys and I am in a rosy position compared to them. So I just lay my seat back and bundle up and wait for about 3Am so that I can get home get a couple of hours of sleep in a bed and wake up and take a shower.
I have to say it really only takes seeing someone in a worst position then you to put you in the right frame of mind. Your life seems much better when you run across someone that has it much much worst then you do. It’s sad but true you always feel better when it’s not you.
