Sometimes you have those days that could have been different and this was strangely one of those days. I had slept pretty much a whole 8 hours after watching Pineapple Express which was a very funny movie for it’s wittiness and it’s charm to draw casual viewers and stoners alike. I wasn’t up for challenge to get up early so I figured my dad wouldn’t come and wake me. But, he asked me to come with him for a follow up appointment he had at the hospital. I came wondering if something would change, if at all, if I came with him and in fact it did. That day, a common man killed 3 people at a factory in Cupertino and many schools including my former high school(s) Homestead High and Cupertino were either on lockdown or told parents to keep their kids at home. I was at the hospital and I didn’t think nothing other than the fact that I was sharing stories with my dad about Mexico and it still fascinates me that he and I can have, among many things, a strong bond over something so small yet powerful. I was reading my book about happiness while this man hunt was going on and I wouldn’t know about it till later that evening. The wait was around two hours so as I went to pay my dad’s bill he had his appointment and after that 15 minute period we headed over to his friend’s restaurant/ taquiera to have food as we hadn’t eaten that whole day. He sat down and talked to his friend while I just listened to the music and enjoyed the food we had. Later on that day, I was reminded that I was going to hang out with my buddy Ricky and we had a lot to share that night as some very good baseball had been going on and we also discussed some future plans for the both of us. The most interesting part was talking about a co-worker he has that claims he needs diving classes as he wants to be in the FBI and he also wants to go to the Nation’s capital in order to take intelligence classes. I was laughing about it but I was also thinking this guy has it really bad and I shouldn’t make it so that he is nothing but a comedy bit. We had some In-N-Out Burger and this is where I found out about the man hunt that had taken place and I was curious because of the fact that earlier there was a helicopter in the air which was strange. A very compelling day indeed because of the circumstances and the craziness.
Just Another Day...
