Not hit by a car, but blown up in one! Also, other stuff...

Wow, today has been... interesting. Heck, I thought that my life was boring, today, in some way, proved to me that although my life isn't quite as fun or eventful as it was, it's still got some kick to it. So, let me get started with a unique day, I present...

THE DAY WITH A VENGEANCE!

 Okay, first of all, one of my two friends, Chris, has been wanting me to hang out on this day, Friday, for quite some time. Anyways, I get a call from him on Thursday tell me that he wants me to go see 300 in the IMAX with him and a a couple friends for his birthday, Friday. As the person with nothing better to do, I said yes, and also since I wanted to see 300 on the IMAX (even though I saw it already).

Now, that's just to setup the day, and what a day it was. So, today started off like anyother day. I got up, turned on my shiny Mac, and had breakfast. As I was eating my donut, my dad asks me to go get the mail at around ten or so. Since I love to take a shower everyday, though, I told him I'd get it after I took my shower. As I was setting up the whole shower thing, I thought that the temperature of the water was good, so I got in. When I got in, I guess I bumped a knob or something, and suddenly, the water was boiling hot. So hot, that I fricking jumped out of the shower. And there you go, my day started off with getting burned by the shower. Back to getting the mail now.

As the good kid I am, I go get the mail. While I'm getting the mail, I stand at the mail box, in my robe and boxers and such, checking out to see if I got anything. I didn't, so I shut the mailbox and when doing so, I drop a couple of letters and the wind blows them into the middle of the street. I was dumb enough to just go after them and lo and behold, some idiot is speeding down my street. As I'm reaching for my mail, I notice him  as he honks at me (wow, how nice) and waves at me to get out of his way. On a side note, I gotta say that was a jackass thing for him to do. Now, of course I kind of jumped out of the way, or something. And there I am, nearly run over by some 4x4 truck, with the mail all crumpled up and ruined from that idiot running it all over. Oh, and yeah, I did scratch up my knee and arm while dodging this... idiot. So, I kind of felt like Charlie from Lost, as I find that with more time on my hands, I have been able to connect stuff. I mean, did me typing that stuff about me getting hit by a car have an effet on what happened this morning? I don't know, but as someone who thinks that fate is quite possible, it's almost too coincidental to be called a coincidence.

Anyways, that's not all that happened with me today, there's more. Well, after watching 300 on IMAX and feeling a little weird while watching on the sex scenes and such while sitting next to my friend's dad who might not have wanted his son to see the movie, we drove back to his house. On the way, the car got that little signal that says you need to change your oil. Since we weren't pressed for time at all, we went to the gas station to change the oil. Now, this is the highlight of the day for me in a sick and twisted way, so be forewarned! His dad buys some oil, pops the hood, and attempts to poor it in. Unfortunately, he didn't turn off the engine or anything, the car was still in park with the engine still going. As he attempts to poor the oil, he misses the little hole completely as he gets it all over the engine and lamp and stuff that's hot. The oil started to smoke, and as I sat in the car, I was a little worried. Then, as if fate thought I needed a more explosive ending to my life, the oil caught on fire. My friend's dad ran over to the side door and pulled me, my friend, and his friends out of the car telling us that we needed to get the hell outta the car. I looked back as I saw some flames coming from the hood, and man, can I tell you, that instead of feeling danger and fear, I grinned. Weird, I know, but I was kind of getting this feeling as though I was happy if this were my end. I mean, wouldn't it be cool if you died in an exploding car? IDK, maybe it's just me, but I thought that'd be a hell of a way to go. So, we rush into the gas station and the indian guy in there starts yelling at us as though we were gonna rob him or something. Chris's dad grabs the fire extinguisher behind the counter and runs back out to the car, putting out the flames and everything. And as I watched him put out the flames, I noticed something. Chris's dad looks a hell of a lot like Locke! Damn, he looks like his brother or something. However, his dad doesn't have the same voice or personality, so I guess that's why I never saw him as Locke-like.

Well, that was kind of a weird day.. but it ain't over yet. Nope, fate still had a vendetta against me. After that whole situation, we went to Chris's house and there, we decided to go out to Outback for his birthday dinner. When we got there, we decided to sit in the porch area that was indoors, like a greenhouse. We got there, sat ourselves down, and something smelt very strange. I realized it smelled a hell of a lot like GASOLINE! And there, as if fate had his murderer known to me, was some stupid waiter trying to light some outdoor lamp. He was fidgeting with it and such, and the gasoline smell got stronger and stronger. Finally, Chris's friend, who I think was Derek, asked our waiter what the chances were that we were gonna get blown up (yeah, he was a little... weird) and the waiter realized too that the area smelled strongly of gasoline. Immediately, he had the guy stop with the outdoor lamp thingy and turned off the gas. But, that wasn't the last from that Outback guy, the guy unknowingly trying to kill me via fate. Lucky for us, he tried to turn on another lamp of the same make and such. And what do you know? It had the same damn problem. Only this time, no one stopped him from trying to turn it on. As I watched him fidget with it, I heard a click. Then, I watched as a huge flame of smoke engulfed the whole top part of the lamp like a small explosion. I got off lucky, since we weren't near the lamp. But my murderer, well, his little Outback shirt got burned all over his back, black and all. The guy kind of flipped out and such, and then we got an apology from the manager, and I'm guessing that the little wanna be assassin from fate was fired.

 So, that wraps it up for me.  A weird day, as if someone wants me dead or something. I don't know what it is, but i, somehow, somehting would happen to me, I wouldn't be the least surprised. Since, after a day like this, I realized that anything is possible. 

NOW... onto the 'other stuff' 

Alright, with easter and all, and since I didn't make any New Year's resolutions of the such, I think that I'm gonna change my blogs. Instead of talking about games, tv, or movies as much, I'm gonna talk a little more of what's going on with me, since you guys really don't have a clue about the mysterious and wondruous life of me, SkateGame.  I mean, with lots of stuff going on with me, what better than to get some stuff off my chest than to use my blog, which is really an online journal that people can comment on.

A blog, as I've thought, isn't as pointless as a normal journal, in which you keeped locked up and away from the world. Why keep the crap locked up? Seriously, what good does that do? I never really understood that, so with this blog, instead of talking about me and my feelings and whatever the hell a journal contains and keeping it to myself, I'm gonna do all that journal crap in this blog, and then let you comment on it! Now, just as a note, this idea kind of bloomed through the process of my last blog post from early yesterday, 4/4/07, and after reading some of the blog posts from noahcrash. So, with my thanks to him, and to my own creative mind, I think that you guys will finally be able to figure out what runs me, this machine of a person, and what the hell happens to a machine of a person.

COMING UP NEXT ON: SKATEGAME'S REVAMPED BLOG!

Well, what's coming up? I'm guessing that I won't blog here until next weekend. So, here's what you can expect:

  • A re-cap of my week
  • My thoughts on Lost and other TV shows
  • Anything to do with my life and such
  • Any new purchases
  • Movie and Gaming stuff

Now, I hope you guys will like the new blog, cause I think I'll enjoy it more than just randomly blogging about stuff that I eventually realize that I don't care about. I hope that you will find my life, as boring as it may be, somewhat enjoyable, as I hope to kind of turn this blog into a show of its own, where the main character is myself, as I journey through uncharted places of who knows what. Plus, maybe if you're lucky, I'll tell you a little bit about my... well, I'll just say: my past. Adios for now, please comment on what you think and stuff. Oh...

AND THANKS TO THOSE THAT READ MY LAST BLOG AND THOSE THAT COMMENTED! IT REALLY MEANS A LOT!
