I texted a good friend of mine who is a fairly political guy informing him of Saddam Hussein's hanging that was going to be happening soon. He texted me back saying he was at a football game so he wouldn't be back in time to watch it on the news and asked for me to tape his hanging. I texted him and told him I didn't believe they were going to be broadcasting his hanging but if he waited about a week it'd be on YouTube. I was right.
Amanda and I were cruising around one afternoon when we started to run low on gas. After telling her I would contribute gas money she educated me on the fact that she did not know how to pump gas. I had only paid for gas with a card before but, we called my handy dandy Pop and asked him how to go about paying with cash. 10 minutes later we pulled into a Hess gas station and everything went smoothly but, there was this guy at the pump next to ours that could tell we were newbies and stared at us waiting for us to mess up. After we were done we gave each other a cheesy high five and went on about our business. I believe we brightened the day of the man at the pump next to ours because he just kind of stood there laughing to himself at how proud we were of ourselves for such a simple, everyday task that most dread. Don't take the everyday for granted and enjoy what you're doing in the moment and make it fun while you're at it.
For New Year Eve I went over to Sarah Woody's house with Brittani. Sarah is Cuban so we decided we would celebrate a Cuban tradition for New Years Eve by burning a doll that represents all of your troubles and tribulations of the year. The three of us headed into her attic and stumbled across a bunch of old McDonald's beanie baby kids meal toys. We also found some fabric, so we gave the beanie babies cute outfits as well. A few hours later our "troubles" were burning in her fire pit and we were bringing in the New Year.
Walking down the hallway at school I stumbled across the digital media class who was in the middle of taping a zombie flick. I started to talk to my friend, Kourtney, who was holding a bottle of fake blood in her hand and I pretending to stick my hand in the blood and put it on the edge of my mouth. She then told me I should walk around telling everyone that I had just gotten done making out with the lead singer of My Chemical Romance.
My father and I started talking, while in the car, about how transportation would be so much more convenient if we could just teleport. Then, I got to thinking about it and how bad teleportation would suck at first like cell phones did when they first came out. Think about it, when cell phones first came out, how bad did they suck??...Exactly. But, think about just how big of a bitch it would be at first like, dropping a call on your cell phone when it first came out was annoying. Now you'd just be losing a purse with all of your possessions in it instead. On the upperhand, it would create a plethra of new excuses for teenagers to use as to why they were home late.
