here it comes. a better version of me.

this might sound stupid. but... i decided... i believe in karma. im not just saying that.. i decided to test it out the other day. i was on my way to work... and stopped to put gas in my car... (with a 20 my manager loaned me) and i went inside and gave it to the clerk. i went back outside and began to pump my gas. well, usually the pump slows down when you get close to reaching the amount of gas you've paid for.... but by the time i realized it wasnt slowing down, i had pumped $ .51 too much. upon doing this... i first thought.. "well, shit... maybe i should just go." and then the pump starts telling me to go inside and get my change...(wtf) i thought about it for a minute... not quite sure why this felt like such a dilemma... i got in my car and dug up the change.. went inside and gave it to the clerk.. and he thanked me and told me he had made a mistake... and to have a nice day. so as i left the gas station...i thought... with the way things are going... it was best that i didnt take advantage of that situation.. i had done the right thing... and it felt good. i hoped that in turn... something good would happen to me. karma. right? well... i left work that day.. was almost all the way home... sitting at the light about to turn into my neighborhood... when i looked in my rear view mirror. a cop... had been sitting there... for at least a minute. he continued to sit there for another minute or so... because the light took a billion years to change. maybe you dont know why this was such a horrible thing. allow me to fill you in. my tags are expired. ive been pulled over for it before... and... for some reason, i cant remember... i didnt go to court. nor did i renew my tags. why? well, it doesnt matter... anyway. im pretty much fucked. there is no way this cop hasnt realized that my tags are expired by now. he makes the turn with me into the neighbor hood. he makes the second turn and the third turn with me. i cant understand why he hasnt pulled me over yet. i go to make my last turn onto my street.. sure hes going to take that turn with me too and pull me over on my street. and... he doesnt. he drives past. i couldnt believe it. but i was really glad... that i gave that clerk that fifty-one cents.

then.. i watched oprah.
