Trade Yourself In
Well what an interesting weekend. I didn't really make much of a clear entry yesterday. I went to Publix for dog food yesterday afternoon. A kid named Aaron approached me needing a ride because his truck was broken down. I figured hell he's my age I'll give him a ride. He wanted a ride to the parts store which later became giving him a ride for him to get a new tshirt as well. He seemed like an alright kid. We started talking about an amplifier for my truck he will sell me for 70 dollars. I agree to it and he takes me to a run down place with Mexicans knocking on my windows and shit. I give him the money and he tells me he'll be out with it. I'm wary now because he completely forgot about the parts store. He comes out with a line of shit and has me drive him to some other fucked up Mexicans house. He tells me to meet him at his truck because he's arguing with this Mexican. I stop home and get Thor and go to where his supposed truck was. It's gone which means it wasn't his truck. I figured I just got fucked. I get a call this afternoon from his mom's house of him telling me he has a $100 dollar bill his mom gave him to repay me. If I have $30 change he will give me the money and be on his way. I take Thor with me again and figure he's riding in the back. So I go pick him up and take him to this same place. He tells me to come back in 15 minutes because the supposed people ran to the bank. I knew then it was all shit. I parked across the street and waited 15 minutes and called the number he called me from. His mom answers and tells me he's a homeless crack addict and she thinks he's scoring crack for me. I tell her the situation and forewarn her that he's going to get killed today or arrested and she tells me to do whatever I feel is right. He calls me and tells me I can't wait there anymore since he had a black guy on a bicycle spying. I called the cops and agreed to meet him at a Walgreen's. I give the cops his info and they catch him at the crackhouse and now I have to go through pressing charges and all. I figured I'm already 70 in the hole so what is 30 dollars more really going to matter? It was worth it I guess. I learned my lesson about giving strangers rides and that cops are actually useful sometimes. I ended up finding a tonneau cover for my truck for $100 that only needs repainted so it worked out well. I have 3 dollars to my name to go to school in Orlando on Tuesday but what do I care? It's only life. Somewhere someone is having a shittier weekend. I must say I haven't looked forward to going back to work on a Monday until now. God damned white kids. I did get the new Shinedown & Sevendust cds though.
