A New Kind of Random....

Monday night I went to disneyland with some friends to check out how they decked out the park to a halloween theme. This year they changed up the graphics on Space Mountain which was amusing the first time, and the second. My main goal was to scream as loud as I could until my friend's ears would bleed. Pay back for him pushing down my lap bar way too far on Thunder Mountain. They also have the Haunted Mansion turned into the Nightmare before Christmas....This is always fun to see, and I loved it. There is always something new I see on that ride....or maybe I just forget about it cuz it is only up through the halloween season each year. This is my first year in a long time with a pass, so it is probably more of the later bit. We also got to see the new halloween spectacular fireworks show. It was fun to watch, and definitely worth the wait and soreness of standing, i just hope to get a better seat next time. On the way back to our car we were walking through Downtown Disneyland, and some guys were giving out some free concert tickets to a show that was playing at the moment at the House of Blues. We thought hey why not? We can be spontaneous, especially since it is free ;) We went ahead and checked it out...The bands that played before the actual band were pretty interesting. The best part of the night was watching this guy dancing in front of us. He had some sweet moves for a possibly drunk white guy. The band was playing a rock cover of the song "Apple bottom Jeans, boots with the fur". *don't expect me to know the real name of the song, because that just isn't me...ha ha It was the best part of the whole show, they weren't the greatest band, but they were way better than the band that was playing that night. ha ha. We left, and ended a great evening with some great tasting In N Out.
$9.00 for two enchanted churros and a soda... $5.00 for a heavenly pinapple whip float.... $5.00 for IN N OUT....Seeing a band do a cover on a hip hop song and watching a drunk white guy bust the moves.....PRICELESS :)
not bad for a $20 budget :)

Discontinued or Cancelled

Don't you hate it when something that makes you happy in life is discontinued or cancelled. And no matter how much you protest to bring it back, it doesn't change a thing? What are some things that you wish were brought "back to life, back to reality" (sorry sometimes i break into song to complete my scentences).
Some of the things that i've been sad about are those really good tv shows that were once on and are no longer with us. Those being:
1. How I met your mother....i just found out it is back on air, so false alarm :)
2. The Big Bang Theory
3. Tru Calling
4. Arrested Development
etc. What are some of yours?

DUI and a Heartattack...

So tonight I hung out with a friend after volleyball at a diner close to home called "Corky's". We had some soda, and a pretty disgusting cinnamon roll. On the way home, I was pulled over by a cop. I was really surprised and almost had a heart attack. I could not remember where to pull over. I have only been pulled over by a cop one other time, and that was up in Idaho. I am a very cautious driver, and thought I did something wrong. So i turned into an apartment complex parking lot instead of pulling over to the side of the road, which turned out to be my first mistake. When I finally stopped, the cop said over his speaker for me to stop my car. I was seriously freaking out...I just didn't know where I was supposed to pull over at. The red curb in the street threw me off. So I parked my car, and turned on my light so I could pull out my lisence and registration. Apparently I shouldn't have done that either. He was shining his brights on me, so I turned off my ligtht, and was looking for it in the dark. When he came up to my window I told him that I was sorry but I hadn't been pulled over in a very long time, and wasn't sure where to go. He was kind and explained to me that in the DMV days, I am to just pull off to the side of the road. It turns out that he was on duty of doing DUI checks. He asked me where I was, and I explained to him that I was having a soda with a friend over at Corky's Diner, and was just heading home. He then asked me if I had any alcohol, did the follow my finger test, and asked if I ever had any traffic problems. I answered them all honestly, and did what he asked, and was very polite. I asked him if I did something wrong, and he told me I was driving fine, and it was just that my lisence plate light had gone out. He told me where the light was located and how to replace it.
Out of the two times that I've been pulled over, I've learned that as long as you do what they ask of you, are honest, and explain in a kind way why you did a certain thing, then they will be reasonable, and let you off with a warning.
I feel very blessed tonight that I was driving safe, and I wasn't given a ticket. I don't know if I could have ever afforded a ticket right now.
