Close Encounters of The Real People Kind 3: The Rollerskate Kid

So I think this story is pretty funny, but I feel like its one of those "You had to be there" type stories, but I'm gonna try my best to make it so that you're their too. So that you can giggle about this odd little happenstance in my life. (not sure if happenstance is the right word here, but it seems to fit I think.)

Anyway I was walking around with my friend, who I was visiting because he lives close to my school and this was during the summer. We were just walking to the train station because I had to go home and somehow we got stuck behind this kid with rollerskates. Now this kid seemed like he was having a lot of fun on his roller skates, but he clearly did not know how to use rollerskates. He was so slow and he was about to fall down, and I was late for the train... and it was just kind of funny.

Where the hell were these kids parents? Did he just sneak out of the house? Were they there with him and he was just "so fast on his rollerskates" that he was so far ahead of them? I mean it's Newark, it isn't like its the safest city in the entire world! And this kid was totally about to fall.

And another funny thing about the situation is that its damn near impossible to go on a nice walk in Newark, New Jersey, or really any city probably. I mean anytime you want to be alone and go for a nice walk, chances are you'll see someone crazy, someone will be blasting songs like "Ass Like That" or "Magic Stick" and it will smell like skunks. So I guess in comparison, kid on rollerskates not quite as bad, but still its pretty funny.

Anyway, like I said it was kind of a "you had to be there" moment, but this is my blog. I was there and I find it entertaining so this blog is really just for me, and if you like it too then good for you Glen Coco, you go Glen Coco.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to make up a story or poem or something I think. If I can'r do that I'll figure somethin out, but thats the plan.

Anyway lemme know if you like me and if you like this blog. Tell your friends to read it so that they think I'm cool too and yeah. Just do stuff and live because we don't have many other options do we now?

Byeeeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
