Oh no moment
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008Sometimes in our life there is a defining moment that can change how you look at people, places, or things. It shapes you like a sculptor shapes a work of art, that is a chainsaw artist making a little dickhead woodchuck out of a big ass redwood stump.
One of those moments was when I found out my friend was a vampire. I was resting peacefully in my bed while one of my buddies was crashing on my couch because his girlfriend had kicked him out for having no backbone so he burnt her house down, just kidding but seriously. Being a light sleeper, I got up in the middle of the night to get a drink when I walked into my living room to see my friend laying on his back with his arms crossed across his body and his hands resting on his shoulders. I freaked out because I knew he was a count dracula in the making and so I grabbed the wooden cross I had planned on using to kill Bellows with and I jabbed it through his heart and broke it off, but then I was like oh no I really, really wanted to kill that Bellows kid.
Another instance where that black light of regret and sorrow lit up my room showing off the glow in the dark posters of my life was when I woke up one morning after a late night out and the first thought that popped into my head was did I drive home last night. I pop up in my bed and run to the window. There is the car parked awkwardly like I was in a rush or “something”. I throw on some short shorts and a mesh football jersey and run outside. I walk slowly around the car looking for any dents, spider webbed windows or hanging bumpers; possibly any body fluid. Nothing. I think to myself, “oh no I spent the whole night driving around trying to run over Bellows and I failed. Damn I’m a little dickhead.”
The last thing I would like to hash out here has to deal with a little bad luck run I had that I think I passed on to one of my friends. First I paid for two energy drinks that I didn’t take because they were too warm but I forgot to remove the extra money from the tip so I paid anyway. Then my friend who had only ate part of his food and was saving it later, left it at the restaurant. So in essence he paid 20 dollars for 3 wings and a handful of curly fries. So I attempted to change my fortune and to take out some bad luck insurance and play some Keno with my friend. The draw after we are done, all four of our numbers hit costing us 300 dollars and the down payment money to put a hit on Bellows. Immediately after that, the Tigers blow a lead against the Giants and lose. So as I am about to hop on a flight for as far away from Michigan as possible, Toledo, I tap on my buddies window transferring my bad luck to his ride.
As I do this I know that I am basically putting my friends life at risk and I think to myself, “Oh no, why the hell didn’t I ask that Bellows kid to take me to the airport.” But then again that would have been a bit of good fortune especially if he perished underneath a turned over Miller Lite truck and a great laugh for all of us.
