Well, it's not that great to be back in my mountain home in warm, sunny Cali420a. The air has that weird smell again, making this whole place feel new again which is kinda fun, but the future remains bleak; and as I burn through more and more of my savings it gets more and more urgently so.
I had a fun experience in the parking lot of the Hollywood video in town here today. I was pulling into the parking lot, and I see some clown in an enormous minivan doing something stupid. No, this isn't the unusual part. But anyway, I see him swerving to the right, his bumper edging close to the cars parked there, and I see a mercedes pulling around his left side. And so I think "oh, I get it, he's tryna let this guy through" and pull forward a bit. The mercedes races out into oncoming traffic, removing himself from the equation, and the true stupidity starts. Minivan Jackass starts backing up, not realizing that there's 4 cars behind him, the first one being mine. A moment after I realize that he's aiming for the first parking spot on the left of the parking lot by the entrance, I figure out that he's not going to have enough room to complete his idiotic maneuver I check my rearview mirror to see if I have enough room to back up. I don't. Thinking that he'll surely see that I have nowhere to go and come to his senses, I stay put. And that's when he decides to slam on the gas, smacking the side of his retard-mobile into the front of my car. Well, actually my girlfriend's car. Awesome. So afterward he comes over and says "Hey what happened?" Not in an accusatory tone. No, this dude really didn't know. So, I start thinking, "So, wait, you decided to back into traffic without looking?" And then I think "No, he must have been looking. Nobody is that stupid. Maybe I was in his blindspot." But then that makes me think "Wait, if you're driving a vehicle that can fit an entire stationary car in it's blindspot, aren't you going to...you know...not back up that god damn fast? Or maybe...consider the possibility that the risk of a collision may make it worthwhile to look for a parking space that isn't the first god damn one in the parking lot??" Not thoughts which had entered this gentleman's head. He was real eager to exchange information until he realized that my car wasn't moving when he hit it. Awesome. The story wouldn't be so upsetting if this guy was a "bad driver". No, I see zillions of clueless moves like that every god damn day out here.
But this day hasn't been ALL suck. No, I learned that every once in a while, some things are worth waiting for.
oh and don't click this if you have some kind of lame problem with Drum&Bass or electronic music in general....but, otherwise, check it out.
