Fire

I woke up at 9:19AM to confirm with Guro if we were still training at 11:00AM. At 9:55AM, he said he was running late. At 11:51AM, he said he was trapped at the DMV. Never heard back from him after that. No training ... AGAIN. ("AGAIN" as in "What else is new?")

We rocked out at guitar practice. Drilled the Beatles' Yesterday and then pretty much a lot of stuff I already forgot.

I was driving home on the 2 Freeway when I saw a bunch of black smoke in the sky. Then I saw there was a lot of fire on the mountain in front of the one that my house is on. It was on the part that borders Eagle Rock. My mom told me to get ready to put some valuables in the car in case of evacuating. I went to the gym instead.

Jordan from high school said that his mom told him to get the fire hose ready. He envisioned his near future as spraying the hose at the fire with a cigarette in his mouth and getting engulfed in flames.

Outside the gym, some jackass cut in front of me and stole a parking space that I was trying to get. When he was gone, I keyed his car :-) You know what's ironic? After circling the block maybe 1 or 2 more times, I ended up getting a parking spot closer to the gym anyway when someone happened to leave. But I was still feeling raw about it that I keyed his car :-)

I got yolked. When I came back, I found that mom managed to find my car and, with her spare key, left some Chinese food from Panda Inn for me.
