What the fuck did I do wrong? Why is everything turning upside down? Why everything's going from bad to even worst?
These last weeks had been so fuckin' bad to me. It's like nothing good happens, and in the other hand, all kinda bad stuff keeps happening around. Someone must have done some kinda macumba, uruca, trabalho (an a really heavy one) on me, 'cuz my life's going down, deeper and deeper.
This weekend was something like the worst nightmare you could have. First we tried to go to a place, and after 1 hour and a half trying to park the damn car, we gave up and went to another place. B-Side. OK, we always go there, nothing bad about that, if that was it. As we were going to Six Flags on sunday, everybody came over to my apartment, so that way we would get there earlier, once we were all together already. about 4:00am we were going to bed, and 7:00am we were awake to hit the road. Almost 2 hours driving 'till there. A few Monsters and RedBulls to keep myself on the road. And we got lost. No problem, we can stop in a gas station and ask for directions. We got it! But the car didn't start anymore. What the fuck? OK. We still having the other car, so let's leave one here, and once we're near the fuckin' park, we can do it in two trips. We'll take care of the car when we're going back home later. Sounds fine o me. At Six Flags I didn't have any fun at all. I was in a really bad moon. There's alot of things going on on my mind. So that means alot of money in the trash can. That shit is so expensive. damn! OK. time to go back to the car that we left behind, start it and, finally, go home. Herm... sounds great, but guess what? the car didn't start at all. We were in 8 people, so no way to go everybody back home in the same car, and we live way too far away to do it in two trips. OK... girls, bye! Go home and we'll stay here, Everton's working at 7:00 in the morning, so go with them, and we'll stay here looking for someone to help us with this damn car. Henrique, Roberto and me. The car was in a gas station, and we were standing there asking everybody for jump cables, but nobody had it, actualy, I think they did have it, but just didn't want to help us, later we realized that the part of town we were was a pretty bad part of it. OK. In the other side of the street there's a Dunkin' Donnuts! Yummy, and probably there are some brazilians there that maybe could help us or at least tell us someone that could help us. OK. But just one thing. Its sunday. 12:00pm. Who the hell will come down in the worst part of town to help someone they don't even know? Answer is nobody! OK. 2 blocks ahead there's a Motel sign, let's go there. We'll stay there 'till 8 or 9 in the morning, then we'll search for some mechanic, or whatever. We told the guy the whole damn thing, and ask how much it would be a bedroom for just a few hours. US$54. But it's only for a few hours... "54" but... "54"... Alright.... the car is not that small, let's sleep in the fuckin' car. Well but who can sleep in this situation? None of us. In an unknown town, with a broken car, around people that you don't know and that don't look that friendly. Ok. but we'll find a fuckin' jump cable, let's not worry! And we found it. It was almost 10:00am when we finally got a jump cable. Let's do it. Let's get outta here! Didn't work. That wasnt the problem. ha-ha! OK. That's it. Let's call those Towing shit and bring it to that gas station 3 blocks away, they have mechanics there! "It would be 75 dollars" but it's only 3 blocks... and "75 dollars"... nevermind then. Oh Oh! I forgot something. We thought we had money, so when those folks who were with us asked, we said we were all set with the money. We were not! I thought I had my debit card, but I hadn't. All that we had was 34 dollars. And the last tie we had ate something was before 7:00am on saturday, once a slice of pizza inside the six flags is 6.75, yeap! Not kidding.. US$6,75! For a slice of pizza! OK... we cannot spend this money with food, we have to find a way to fix this damn car and get the hell outta here! Finally some cool guy from Argentina who was working on that dunkin donnuts called some guy he knows and this guys towed us 'till a mechanic. The mechanic hit the fuel-pum-or-whatever-is-called with a hamer and said we would be able to get to Boston that way. bye bye 34 dollars! Now let's get MassPike and soon we'll be at home! But hey.... what about the toll? hahahahaha... You know when you think you'll never gonna make it, and you just can't stop laughing? That happened to all three of us! Hey.. there's a 2 dollas "lucky" bill in my wallet. I have a dollar bill in a t-shirt format in mine also. I got some wuarters on me. OK! that should be enough to pay that shit! Total: US$3,60! Great! Guess what? We still having a dollar and 5 cents! Sweet! Few miles ahead... one more toll... are you fuckin' kidding me? what the fuck did I do wrong? just fuckin' tell me! I'll try not to do it anymore! OK... this one's only a dollar! "Keep the change!" and once again we were laughing, this time wewere more like "I can believe we're finally getting home after all of that". Well, for two of us that was true. We finally got to the place their car was, they got their car, and I was leaving to finally go home, but the car decided that it wasnt going anywhere else. It would stay right there no matter what! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. I didn't miss one of my jobs already, and Im not late for my other job, so not big deal! Well big deal, huge deal. I did miss one of my jobs, and I was already late to my other job. Let's call someone. Im not that far from home, maybe someone could pass by to pick me up. Alright! Please shoot me right now! Someone, please do it! The cell fuckin' phone has no battery. One more time, that laughing feeling took control of my body. OK. something good finally happened. One of the guys that were with me forgot his wallet in the car, so they came back to pick it up, then we left the car there and I went with 'em to their place, and later they would give me a ride home. Few hours of happiness. Food, Shower, sleep. Oh my god! That's heaven! I thought I would never have that again. Rice, Beans, Chicken! Oh shit! So good! Time to go home. Once at home, time to call my job again and tell them the whole thing, even tho, I dont think thwy'll believe. oh well. Hey.. it was like this and then that happened and then "ok Miguel, can you be here tomorrow at 10:00 so we can talk?"
I dont wanna think about what's going to happen... null
