bad luck stopped by for a few hours...

The day started off good. About noon is when everything headed downhill. I stepped out to goto the gym. As soon as I shut the door I knew I locked myself out of my house. So I had to jog over to my mother's house to get the spare key. Well wouldn't you know we couldn't find it. But we did find my extra car key. So she dropped me off at my house. I hopped in my car and headed over to Chuck's to let him know about my predicament. Then I headed to my roomates work. I have only been there a couple of times. Well guess what I drove around for about a half hour and couldn't find it. At this point is was pretty evident that I was going to be late to the wedding. I was so suppose to catch a ride with Crack and Chuck. At this point reality was telling me I was going to have to drive upto Lyons by myself. At this point I was pretty upset with myself I never lose my keys or misplace them. Well I guess I can no longer say never.

I arrived back at my mother's house around 4pm. The wedding started at 5pm. I called a locksmith they said they would be at my house in 10 minutes. So in a matter of maybe 2 minutes he was able to open my door. I gave him a tip even though he probably didn't deserve it. I quicked stumbled inside and called Chuck to get directions to the wedding. I quickly got dressed like I was Superman in a phone booth. I jumped in the car and hit the road. Well guess what? I forgot the directions at home. So I headed back home that cost me anotehr 10 minutes. So finally I got back in my car and started towards my destination. Well I just happened to glance at my dashboard. What do ya know. I was on empty, so I had to go get some gas. So finally I was back on the road again. I started to think about the day and my frustrations. I couldn't help bu bust out laughing. If you think about it all it was kind of funny. After that I popped in a U2 mix-tape and tried to enjoy myself. Traffic was good for while and then I hit a snag at I-270. Finally things picked up again on I-25. Just when I thought my bad luck was gone. I managed to get pulled over by a police officer right before my exit. But something happened, back luck decided to leave me. The cop gave me a warning. See not just good looking Blondes get off easy. Annoying sarcastic punks get off too.

I arrived at Jen and Travis's wedding around 6:15. Ofcoarse I missed the ceremony. But I did manage to make it before the reception started. The night ended up being alot of fun. Sure the day got off to a rough start. But as I always try to make the most of things. And ended up having a great day. I never let bad things ruin my day. Sometimes you can't control things that happen to you. But you can always control how you react to them. And that right there is half the battle my friends.
