Read the Signs...

On my way to the gym this morning I felt like I kept seeing all these great unexpected signs. Not signs as in the universe is trying to talk to me but literal signs, either spray painted or put on marquees. Like an idiot I forgot to carry a camera with me but I at least had my phone on me.

 

I recently watched L.A. Story for the first time in years, I forgot the central idea to the movie being leading your life through what signs you get from the universe. I think it is time that I start paying attention to what is going on around me more closely. Normally you would think that I would subscribe to the notion that the universe is discreetly telling me what to do but just like everyone else in this world if the world is talking to me I am too busy texting on my phone to hear what it has to say. 

Story Time:  About two years ago I was working a job I hated, and only recently left. My manager was the dumbest person I have ever encountered and he dealt with this fact by being a complete asshole to me. It was the hardest thing to run a department and let him get all the credit on top of that he felt he needed to belittle everything I did to somehow boost his confidence. One day I had it, I was 30 minutes away from break and had decided that all I wanted to do was cry in the break room. When my break had arrived apparently he had the same idea, minus the crying part. I had nowhere to go so I walked down the street to Starbucks where I proceeded to call my friend and bitch about how this man not only makes my life miserable but also ruined my only time to have some emotional release. So I sat there with my head pressed against the table at Starbucks crying in front of complete strangers and when I looked down at the table there it was. Two napkins one reading something along the lines of .... "Everything will be better", than an arrow pointing to another napkin reading "Go to Spain". I know this seems like a crock of shit but in all honesty I couldn't believe it either, whether it was the universe speaking to me or just a coincidence who cares. I am planning my first trip to Spain next year and cannot wait to see what that has in store for me. I will end this with another sign I have seen on my way home.....

 

san francisco...

First off it was hella hot..i don't get what is in the air but every other state is
probably freezing while we are sweating i just don't think it's fair. Anyways to
start of the day really we got stuck in horrible traffic jam on the 5 which added
an extra 2 hours to our trip. We got in around 3 and i didn't even get to the city
till 5ish..
I met up with Nick and Jen at Urban Outfitters where the greeter was pretty much
the least enthusiastic person to be at an urban outfitters since Jorge. We then headed
to get some grub because well i don't think any of us had eaten. They had a great idea to
eat at the cheesecake factory that is located on top of the macy's (the biggest macy's next
to the one in herald square..we can thank jen for that little fact) The funny thing about that
place though is that you put your name down, you wait 10 min to get a buzzer, you then wait
anywhere from 40 to 50 minutes for your buzzer to go off and just when you think your done
you are told to move to the side till they call you..hmmm
So you can imagine the mountain like apetite we had all had . Our waitress came over
and we immediately ordered appetizers, i had crab fried wontons and jen ordered ardichoke
(those damn vegetarians) sadly though our waitress didn't even take our real order till
we were halfway done with my appetizer so i just anticipated being way more hungry
then i was and so did nick and jen. Somehow we ended up with way more food then we
could eat and a bill that was over 100 and just 3 people.
We all vowed we would never eat again and headed over to some random theatre to
watch Across the Universe. On our way over there we passed the great american musical hall
that was having some sort of private event. Dozens of kids screaming, camera's going off, huge
limos etc. They were filming a super sweet 16!!!! now just like most of america i am hooked on
this show for no other reason than to despise the creatures that appear on it, and now here i
was able to be face to face with someone who could most likely be satans spaun. But there were
too many kids screaming , too many obnoxious girls wearing barely anything to even try to
get a closer look at the overpriviledge slut whose birthday it was i guess we will just catch it on tv. We got to the movie just in time for the previews. I really have to say i loved the movie the second time around. It didn't lag , it was a lot funnier , maybe it was because the room was packed and everyone got the jokes , well whatever it was i defitnetly left with a better feeling about it (sorry diego)
We walked around san francisco streets trying to get to our bart station . Really San francisco has some interesting characters...hahaha.. Jen really wanted to go to a bar and she would recount this to us a few times hahaha we finally got to nick's house where he was nice enough to drive me to some rando hotel my dad got in the middle of nowhere. I got there and just crashed.
