Usual typical obvious weekend. But some decent stuff happened.
On Friday afternoon, I sold my stethoscope/blood pressure kit that I got from back when I was in med school taking the Medical Assisting program three and a half years ago. I haven't used it since then and its been sitting in my closet for a long time, and plus I need money. I got a call from this lady with an Asian accent saying that she interested in the kit. So they came later, only to find that her husband who has a thick ass French accent, picked up the kit and gave me $20 for it. I had it originally priced at $25, but everyone is cheap nowadays so a took off 5 dollars to get some attraction.
Then on Saturday, I had the option of going to my church in Sylmar or going to the Alumni weekend event at San Fernando Valley Adventist Academy, the private Christian school my sisters and I went to back when I was in 9th grade. But I woke up late as usual, and headed to Target to make use of the compensation I got the previous day. I wanted to go on a $10 budget and put the other half on my savings. When I got to Target, I had a to between a bag of Nachos since we have a big ass container of Salsa at home, or some shredded Cheddar Cheese that I use for my Spaghetti. I don't wanna get both because I still planned on using that half of the Twenty to get something to eat at Jack in the Box across the street. So I just got the Cheddar Cheese instead which was about three dollars I think. Probably one of the lamest purchases I ever got at Target. I could've bought a CD on sale or some auto detailing accessories, but my vehicle is still on my parents hands. I know, totally lame but what the hell else can I say? Times are tough, and not just financially. Then I went to Jack in the Box, which was dead empty on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the Jumbo Jack meal with the two tacos. I was trying to enjoy my lunch and read the newspaper at the same time, but out of nowhere, two 16 year old teenage females sat behind me and starting saying and discussing the usual gossip basura, which is Spanish for "trash", that I don't wanna hear. Out of all the seats in the empty ass restaurant, they had to sit behind me. They're not attractive, and if they were, I'd be in interrogated by Chris Hansen from Dateline. They look like teenagers who should be revolutionized by Jamie Oliver, the British chef who changed the entire school lunch system in his country and is trying to do the same here in the states.
I just wanna get off topic here for a second, or a minute. I'm sure his family laughs at us everyday, and I'm not offended by it cause it's fucking true. Eating habits here in America is completely insane, beyond belief insane. Most of it is here in Los Angeles and at certain parts of the US that I won't mention which are highly disadvantaged and has a very low status. Yes, I admit, I also eat junk food, a lot of it. I'm used to it, meaning I can't resist a Double Double meal at In-N-Out or a supreme pizza from Pizza Hut or Little Ceasers. I'm aware of what I consume. I weigh between 150 and 155 pounds. I take walks around the country club and around North Hollywood whenever I go to my mom's place to get rid of some calories. I know a lot of Americans dislikes him, But I condemn Jamie Oliver for trying to get people in a small town in West Virgina to be aware of the risks of un-proper eating habits and to save the healths of young elementary school children in that city. If there's a season two of that show, he should try to challenge up with the corporate big wigs who own the fast food restaurants. It's gonna be tough and impossible because some of those restaurants already have special healthy low cholesterol menus and also it would hurt sales and the business itself if they decided to eliminate the patties and the fried potatoes and the soft drinks. Cause at the end, its all about the money. That's a term people should have branded in their minds cause it goes for everything, including professional sports. I mean, I used to work at a McDonalds Restaurant back in high school, which had its moments, and I used to see the same people come in every time I run my shift. In other words, there's some, not all people who come there and other fast food places religiously, which is very sad if you think about it.
Bottom line, I gotta stop eating junk food.
So anyway, back to the story, those two bitches had caused me to lose my appetite that cost me $7.50 and to make me get out of the Jack in the Box to avoid hearing them. I then decided to go to the ATM in my bank to deposit my $10 in my savings, since the bank is already closed because it's Saturday. But then the ATM wouldn't take my Visa bank card cause it stated that my account has been deactivated. That didn't surprise me, cause I've been out of work since December. When I was about to head home, I saw an old person riding his electric Rascal wheelchair on Balboa Boulevard, WHICH IS A PUBLIC STREET HE WENT ON INSTEAD OF THE FUCKIN' SIDEWALK! He even crossed the intersection of Balboa and San Fernando Mission Boulevard and still kept going on the streets like the damn Energizer Bunny! Seriously, another reason why Jamie Oliver is laughing at us. I ended the day by watching Saturday Night Live for the first time since the Charles Barkley episode back in January. Tina Fey- Yes. Justin Bieber, in three sketches- No.
Sunday was....just another Sunday. I mowed the front lawn, pulled the trashed to the front curb (this is why people rather live in apartments) and watched the Lakers miss three free throws and get chocked literally in the last second by Portland Trailblazers minus Brandon Roy. I can't wait to see them go against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the First Round of the Playoffs, which means the Thunder will finally get some national airtime on Television along with the Bucks in the Eastern Conference. That pretty much ended my day there.
Finally yesterday I got a chance to hang with my friend Jeremy from church for the first time in a while. I wanted to go to the Glendale Galleria and have lunch at the In-N-out there, (yes, like I said, I'm a sucker for fast food restaurants, including In-N-out which is a requirement for living in Los Angeles) but we decided to hit up the Topanga Mall instead. I haven't been to that mall ever since my pops bought those two home theater stereo systems at Black Friday from the Sony Style, thanks to weak-ass Best Buy for not having that model in all three of their stores in the West Valley. No, I think the last time I went there was when I took one of my friends from the east coast over there at night and I took a photo of him posing next to a Porsche that's on display. I left my camera at home, so I though it was gonna be a usual hang outs like last year. When me and Jeremy got there I saw that they made some slight, slight, slight changes to the mall. First of all, they opened a yogurt shop or whatever it is they sell in the middle if the fucking "Canyon" portion of the mall. That spot is where they post the Christmas tree every year. Then they started selling Lakers gear at the Dodgers Clubhouse store, which I found unusual. I mean, that's like selling LA Kings gear at the Raider Image store. Finally the last thing that tripped me out was when I saw that they opened an Audi showroom dealership inside the mall right between the Lamborghini showroom dealership, which I've seen before, and the Neiman Marcus store. Probably Westfield's attempt to make that wing of the mall the West Valley version of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Oh yeah before I forget, I checked out the new iPad device at the Apple Store upstairs. Spent 45 minutes on it. I only like this thing just to showcase my photos, everything else is stuff you can get on a iPod touch that's $200 cheaper. Oh and speaking of Apple, I ran into two of my ex co-workers from when I used to work at the store in Sherman Oaks Fashion Square.
We then left the mall and decided to go check out the Nissan dealership in Woodland Hills. When we got there, they had something else that really, REALLY blew me away.
THEY HAD A MOTHERFUCKING R35 NISSAN GTR OUT ON THE LOT FOR SALE!!!! NOT DISPLAYED IN THE SHOWROOM!
I was very heated cause #1) There's an $80,000 supercar that goes 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and has tires that are filled with Nitrogen outside for anybody to glance out, including those clueless kids from Taft High school just down the street, and #2) I left my camera at home. Jeremy test drove the base model Nissan Cube around Woodland Hills which was so and so. We even had a shot of driving it on the 101, but it was rush hour, so go figure. Before we left, the dealer started up the GTR and that shit sounded nice in person. It even WAY better hearing it than from hearing it from the most expensive, top of the line Bose stereo system out there. That car might be sold already by tomorrow since its $10,000 below face value. Then we chilled at Pierce College for a bit since he has a class there that night. I didn't even see anybody that I knew at he campus, cause every time I go there, I'd always run into at least 1 or 2 people. But I bet those people have already graduated or transferred to a University. The only good part of that day was to check out the R35 starting up for 10 seconds.
Shit, its already 1:33 in the morning. I took up way too much time but whatever. Oh and finally, even though I don't watch a lot of Televison, I want ABC, or the Walt Disney Company for that matter, to get rid of Dancing with the Stars. That program is overrated and it features has been Z-listers who are not supposed to dance get some injury from doing the Salsa, the Rumba, the Cha Cha Cha (yes I just said that) or any of those dances. I just looked at the lineup and here's my take
THE ONES WHO WERE ELIMINATED
-Shannen Dorethy- she's gone. Probably left on purpose to avoid being on the newsstands again just like in the early 90's.
-Buzz Aldrin- he's gone. Dude shouldn't even leave the house. Going to the another life source in God's universe is way better than anything here. By the way, I saw him and his wife in person two years ago, and I still get chills from that experience.
-Aiden Turner- his ass is out, and I never watch soaps.
THE ONES WHO'S ARE STILL IN...FOR NOW
-Pamela Anderson- I was gonna go see her at West Hollywood for the launch of a Vegetarian Milkshake that she came out with last week, but I knew it was gonna be hell with paparazzi and 27 year old virgins, so I didn't bother
-Erin Andrews- Didn't she get enough attention with the whole court case against the horny bastard who videotape her at the hotel? I give that guy props by the way to check out an ESPN correspondent outside of SportsCenter. I think she might win because she works for the people who air this program. By the way, Rachel Nichols > Erin Andrews
-Kate Gosselin- um, doesn't she have a nursery school to raise instead of trying to persuade or entice her dance instructor to elope?
-Evan Lysacek- I didn't watch one bit of the Winter Olympics 2 months ago but this dude is trying to risk another injury. I'm sorry but I had to say it.
-Nicey Nash- um, No comment. I don't wanna be rude, but I don't wanna see her on HD or in person
-Chad Johnson- Only brought in just for ratings and to lose to Nicole Scherzinger in the final episode. Please go back to the last name your parents had and focus on trying not to get Marvin Lewis on pins and needles every Sunday.
-Jake Pavelka- another fool who had enough attention in the newsstands
-Nicole Scherzinger- The reason why people are watching this conceded program. This bitch is gonna win the whole damn thing, cause she's fine as hell. I'm calling it.
