So, I had a great day today. I experienced quite a few new things, and a few old ones that are always good. It also allowed me to make some new observations.
So my morning was pretty basic, get up, shower, get dressed, etc. But then it started to get interesting. I then went to my friend's house, and we decided to go to Santa Anita Race Track and watch the horse races. This was pretty exciting for me because I had never "really" been to the race track before. At first it was overwhelming, but luckily my friend knew what to do, and it was pretty easy to pick up. Then on the first race a very unfortunate thing happened, I won twenty-six dollars on a three dollar bet. Yea, I know it might seem like a good thing, but giving a beginning gambler confidence gives them a misleading view on the whole concept of gambling. It was ok though cause I was actually up four dollars at the end of the day. However, while I was there I made a startling revelation about the similarities between the race track and the stock market. I mean you are able to bet money all around the country and watch your investment on a wall of TVs. Yep, sounds like big business to me...
After that we went back to my friends house and watched TV for a little while, and I could tell it was our lucky day because the first two episodes of That 70s Show were on. This caused another revelation. I realized that the early seasons of That 70's Show are just as good as anything else that has ever been on TV. I know that I often write the show off when I think about my favorite show, but in reality there are few, if any, programs that I enjoy watching more. The early seasons are especially good. I mean me and my friend probably spent half of the two episode laughing hysterically, and most of the rest was filled with at least a healthy chuckle.
Another new adventure I ventured on today, was an "art party" or something like that. It was basically a bunch of small local artist displaying some of their work in one their houses, and filled it with a definite party vibe. I mean most of the art was not overly impressive, even though there were a few very good pieces, it was just a great idea. Yea, I know they probably do this everywhere, but me and my friends had never been to something like this. It was really quite amusing, and I think it's something that me and my friends would like to do again.
Next, we went back to my friends house and watched some more TV. This time we watched some Action League Now and a Chris Rock special. These were both filled with some spectacular moments that seemed fit to end such a night. So after Chris Rock I decided to head home. But then I thought that this night couldn't be over so soon.
So, I decided to just stop at home to pick up a can of Mountain Dew, and go for a little cruise. So after driving around for a little while like I usually do, I decided to mix things up and take a little spin on the freeway. So after a little while on the freeway I decided to get off, the freeway kind of defeats the purpose of cruising. So, now I figured that the night was over for sure, but I should have known better. While waiting at a red light on the off-ramp, I witnessed a car accident. Now, I have been in an accident, seen cars in accidents, but I had never seen one right in front of my eyes like this. This made me really nervous and I didn't know what I should do, and I had a green light. So I decided to make my turn and continue on. However, a couple blocks down my conscience got the best of me and I turned around to see what was going on. So, I passed by them twice, and I saw people standing outside the cars talking. So I realized that even if everything wasn't ok that there really wasn't much that I could do, because I didn't actually see who was at fault.
But nonetheless, this was a great day with an unexpected ending that I hope will lead to many new experiences...
