I will preface this post by letting everyone know that I have some sort of ADD. It's not short term ADD like I can't pay attention to anything for more than 10 minutes, it's like the kind where I start doing something, like making a blog for example, and then become addicted to it, and then forget about its existence for like 2 weeks. So that's what happened there.. my b. Here's a story about my misfortunes to make you feel better about it all!
The other day I am driving home from ultimate tryouts and I stop off to get gas before I hop on the toll road home...(this toll road is incredible irritating and a little confusing and much more expensive than it should be especially the further you drive on it.) little radtastic is in the car lookin all cute and I'm simultaneously dancing to ‘my chick bad’ by luda and thinking about how irresponsible I am because I didn't bring water to a 3 hour tryout and just mooched off everyone because that’s NORMALLY what I do, but I forgot I had this little baby monster with me that gets thirsty so he is panting in the front seat and looks like he’s about to pass out and I think to myself.. maybe you should get him a water inside? And then I'm like.. nah he can make it home I don't want to waste more money (mind you I have an hour drive ahead of me.) So I leave the gas station and I am flying down the toll way when all of a sudden I see a sign for the airport…
So I’m going to segment off for one moment and argue both sides of this story that I will eventually get to…
That 1. The highway can be confusing and
2. I can, at times, be a completely spacey driver…
For example…
I was on my way to the airport with a teammate last year and we were talking about this land off to the left that had a bunch of abandoned shit in it like cars and weird tractor type things and we were talking about how cool and glittery they were in the sunlight and how we wanted to go there and find some sweet treasures until we realize…. Of all the times we have driven to the airport have we ever driven by a junk yard? And wait! Have we ever been so far down this road that it just becomes a barren prairie? No, we haven’t because we are 30 minutes past the highway exit to the airport and have been talking about shiny things in the grass.
ANYWAYS…. back to my alternate story… I see a sign for the airport… (mother fucking blackhole airport area) and I think to myself… weird the airport is in the completely opposite direction from where I live and I have been driving for like 30 minutes… this is strange I was supposed to get off of the toll road after like 5 minutes. (We won’t even touch on the fact that I have driven under about 4 of those automatic toll charger things) So eventually after multiple phone calls to people I come to the conclusion that yes, I went a bit too far. I turn around (having to pass under an exit and entrance toll. Awesome) and continue back for about 25 minutes until I hit the highway I was supposed to take.
Don’t worry! There is more!
So I decide I am SO THIRSTY and Rad is too because he looks like he is about to die (and I am a bad owner and person because I never bring water anywhere so he’s about to keel over from dehydration) so I stop off at a gas station and go to the front counter and look in my purse and!!!
No wallet
I go to my car and search the entire thing as best I can with all the shit I have inside of it and still no wallet.
Then I have a flashback to when I was filling my car up with gas and how I conveniently left it right on top of the car while I went and dottled around and looked at rad being cute… (SEE! He is the real problem here!!! If he weren’t so damn cute I wouldn’t be staring at him all the time and forgetting about important things like wallets and exits) So I call the gas station and the lady says .. no we haven’t seen a wallet, “know what prolly happened? (chuckle) it prolly like fell off your car into the highway or something”
YEA I KNOW and I hate you lady.
This is Rad.
(the reason I can't pay attention to anything other than him when he is around me...)
