dude on a skateboard
a very amusing thing happened today. and if anyone would appreciate the humor of it, i sincerely wish J had been there. he would have laughed his ass off for hours on end. and i would feel bad for laughing at the guy, but i'm sure he was fine, so i can tell the story and even chuckle to myself every once in a while when i think about it. well, i was driving around UCSD this morning trying to get to the parking lot where there are a good number of metered parking (which is where i have to park since i can't get a parking permit or anything) and i come up to this little piece of road that is right before the parking lot and there is this guy skating towards me in my lane on his skateboard. i couldn't really tell what he was doing, so i kept driving, i wasn't driving super crazy fast (and this i know for sure because i was going to be turning right in about 10 feet) so i just figured he was going to go to my right which is where the sidewalk was.... instead, he turns to his right to go in the other lane... hmm... did i fail to mention that there was a car in that lane??? he was too busy looking straight ahead at me (mesmerized by my beauty, i'm sure) that he didn't even look to his right before he started going that way. and what did he do??? he ran right into that car on the driver side and rolled off the guy's hood!!!! i couldn't believe it. and the driver of the car didn't even look like it phased him, he actually looked annoyed with the skater guy. the skater's skateboard even ended up right under the car's drivers side tire. i was so stunned i didn't even stop to ask the guy if he was okay. lol... man, it was really funny. i'm sure he would have been more embarrassed if i had stopped and talked to him (sorta like on clueless when Tai falls and that guy asks her if she's alright cause it "looked pretty bad" and she just wanted to die), so i made sure he wasn't still there when i walked near the incident and he wasn't so i'm sure he walked away unscathed. but damn, it was one of the funniest things i've seen in a while. hmmm... that sure does make me sound like a super mean person.
