The Weekend

Justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but in finding out the right and upholding it, wherever found, against the wrong.
- Theodore Roosevelt

Greetings all! I hope you’re all having a great day! I don’t have much of an intro for this post. There’s really not much I can really say. It’s just another post. It has a couple pretty interesting tidbits, but that’s about it. So, read on, and enjoy.

Keep Your Hands Where I Can See Them
I have a really stupid friend. The man calls me up Friday evening and states that “the game of Magic is dead to him.” Apparently, he was at a Magic tournament and lost pathetically, now he wants to give the game up completely. This I seriously doubt. He likes the game too much to give it up. Anyway, that’s a little beside the point. The fact is, he lost the tournament and decides he wants to get his mind off of it by going to see a movie. I’m fine with this, I was going to see a movie Friday night anyway, whether somebody came with me or not. Well, we work out a movie and a time and he heads over to my house from his tournament. On the way he stops for gas, goes into the minimart, pays for $20 worth of gas, gets back in his car and drives off without filling up. STUPID! He gets all the way to my place before he figures out his mistake. So, now he’s completely out of gas and we’ve got to go. I decide to drive. On the way to the theatre we pass the same gas station where he committed his act of stupidity, so I turn in there and tell him to go and get his money back. They would have a record of whether or not the man actually filled up. He protests and won’t go in. He says it’s not worth it. I say, “What’s not worth it? It’s $20 you just threw away. GO GET YER MONEY!” He still refuses and I leave.

On the way out of the parking lot we notice the restaurant next door. There are cop cars all around it, there are employees talking to cops, and there are two pathetic looking men sitting handcuffed up against a dumpster. From what I can see, the two handcuffed idiots attempted to rob the restaurant and failed. I just keep on driving. We’re running a little behind on getting to the movie after our fruitless stop at the gas station. As I pull out of the parking lot. One of the cop cars lights up and screeches after me. This is the part where I got confused. I don’t know what the hell is going on. At first I didn’t think she was heading for me, but when I switch lanes in an attempt to let her by, she follows. At that point it becomes very apparent that I am her target. I pull over. She gets out of her care and cautiously walks up to my door. “Sir, please keep your hands where I can see them!” Blinding light in my face. I’m now even more confused. “Can I see your I.D., please?” she asks. I get my wallet out and hand her my license. She looks at it for a few seconds and hands it back to me. “I’m sorry for bothering you sir. We’re just looking for a car that matches this description. Have a good evening.” Oh sweet air of life. I can finally breathe again. The whole incident really confused and scared me. I’m just glad she didn’t give me a ticket. Cuz that’s what I was thinking was going to happen. The last thing I need right now is another ticket. Well, we got to the theater a little late. We missed about 5 minutes of the movie. But, that was worth not getting a ticket.

Waterless
My dad is putting in a sprinkler system. This of course requires turning off the water to the house. This normally isn’t much of an inconvenience. No water for an hour or two is bearable. Unfortunately, our water has been out for more than 5 hours now. He’s having troubles. I’m not fully informed as to the reasons why it’s been hard. I think it has something to do with water in the pipes and not being able to join the pipes correctly because he can’t get them hot enough. But, since he’s having troubles, he’s not sure if he can get the water to the house turned back on. And that means no showering, no washing of hands, no washing of clothes, etc. So, we might end up staying at my grandfather’s house tonight. He’s gone to Salem, South Carolina for some Methodist camp meeting thing. I’m not sure. But, he won’t be back all week, so if we have to, we can stay there.

Ringing Ears
I went to a really cool concert last night. A group of guys from my church formed a band and have gotten pretty good. They were performing at a local restaurant last night and my college group decided to go and see them. They along with three other bands, started performing at 10:30 and didn’t stop until 2:30. It was a late night. I loved their band! I had never heard them play before, and dang are they good. I mean, not like good as in good for being a local garage band, but good as in they could be professional. I really think they could if they can ever get a break. They were trying to get a spot performing in the newest Lindsay Lohan movie called Just My Luck. If you saw the movie, you would have noticed a band that got a pretty big role. That was the part that my friends were trying to get. They practically had it. The producer had done everything but come out and say yes. Unfortunately, after like the third or fourth tryout, they decided they didn’t want to use them because of the drummer. I think it sucks. But, hey, I hear they’re back in Hollywood again trying to get a spot in a Hillary Duff movie (I don’t know what it is with them and teen pop idols). So, wish them luck! You’ll love them if you ever hear them.

Well, with that I’m out of here. I hope you all have a great day and I’ll see ya ‘round TheO! Sayonara! OH! Wait! I forgot to tell y’all where that Shakespeare quote from the last post was from. It’s the first line in the play Twelfth Night and it is recited by Duke Orsino. Now, I’m really done. Have a great day!
