This blog is a bit of a bummer, but truth be told I'm glad it's behind me and now I can sit back, reminisce about it, think, "Damn, this was not so bad." I'll write the update here. I got everything resolved with the cellphones (didn't have to pay a dime), thanks to some woman named Laura, who did some digging for me over at Nextel, bless her. Not even a day after I lost Mazda 626 my dad bought a Kia something or other which we returned the next day and my brother picked me up later in my new-used Mitsubishi Galant who I fondly call Gary. He's great to me, and I in turn definitely try to be great to him.
It's got nothing to do with LUCK.
Because if there were such a thing, I would be seriously lacking.
I'm not ungrateful. I have AMAZING Family, and GREAT friends.
However, I feel like all odds are against me. This week. So, I'm super excited about my friends coming this weekend, I have everything all planned out and then BAM. BOOM. KA-POW!
I mean to switch from Nextel to TMobile on the 15th of July- well, TMobile disconnects my phone the 1st of June- I'm not paying the cancellation fee from Nextel, because I DIDN'T AUTHORIZE the damn change, but Nextel will add an additional MONTH of Service for 120 smackers in order to reconnect my line, so I'm NEITHER HERE NOR THERE! Except, I am without ANY TYPE OF COMMUNICATION THROUGH ANYTHING! Very, very, disconcerting.
Moving on, we all recall my CAR DILEMMA! The drama that is... well, yesterday, I went to the Alehouse and after dropping off my best friend, his parting words were, "you should get that oil changed," which we all knew really meant, "your car is fucked" I remember for as long as I have driven him, he's been telling me I need a new car...and we were just talking about his odds of being correct- OBVIOUSLY another point in his mother flippin' favor!
Well, it's 1 AM and I'm on the highway going home, with my rattly car and my disconnected cell phone... The car breaks down on the highway. I get towed ($85-that I would've had for when my friends visit) then I missed work today, to take the car to the mechanic, and then he tells me the car is a loss... the engine is stuck and the gears wont move, and that the car is going to be more expensive to fix than what it ended up costing. So he told me to sell it. SO, now I have no car and 300 bucks in my pocket. I don't know what to do with myself. I need a car and PRONTO, and of course since I have $00.00 savings, I can buy- I don't know what, but probably not even a bus pass.
I'm most angry because I thought I was finally moving ahead. I was meant to be moving forward and getting out of debt, and now I'm being sucked back! Well, maybe it's a blessing REALLY, REALLY well disguised!
I'm not going to let this hold me back, this isn't the end of me. I'll eventually have my cell back, and I'll eventually have a car. It just doesn't feel like there's an end in sight to all these terrible odds. I know there's a reason for this, and I don't even want to know why, but it's happened and now I have to make the best of it.
Alright, enough of this hippie spiritual talk, I'm just bummed out is all, but I always keep a positive outlook, it's definitely the way to be. F-CARS AND PHONES and our attachment to the two.
