What a day (for real this time)

Oooh-Weee America! I was officially welcomed to Texas this morning! I get up and get dressed, all excited because today was the day that I was to meet my mentor. I twisted my hair all cute and shit, put on a little outfit from Limited, put on lipstick and eye shadow, and walked out to the car. When I got there, I noticed one of the tires were missing. Anybody who knows me knows that I am slow. I look at the tire and think to myself, dag Nik. you need to change the tire. So I go back in and change my shirt and shoes. I get back out and head toward the trunk to get the spare and notice that all my shits are gone. The Altima is sitting on bricks. BRICKS, ya'll. Somebody stole all my tires and rims. They were factories, nice factories, but factories nonetheless. The tires came from Wal-Mart, but good tires nonetheless. I guess that's why they got me. Needless to say, my whole mood changed! I come back inside call the police who take the darn report over the phone. He gives me a claim number and everything over the phone. He never once comes out, no dusting for fingerprints, no pictures, no nothing. I could have been making all that up. Then I call GEICO and they assign my case immediately and send Enterprise to pick me up! While waiting, I stand outside, protecting what's left of my car and the nosey neighbors come out and start a conversation. They told me somebody called them and told them to go look. WTH? Normal people act like they are taking out the trash or something. They aren't noticeable and they definitely don't start a convo. So anyway, by the time it's over, there are five people standing outside talking about their cars and radios being stolen, people hitting their cars in the parking lot for no reason, people dying from bat bites, all kind of shit that happens in this complex. By the time the convo is over I am wondering if I am even safe standing out there. But back to Enterprise...They weren't lying on the commercial; they really do pick you up!) There I saw the cutest, yellowest little boy from New Orleans. He made me laugh and I quickly felt better. So Enterprise gives me this RED (MERLOT) Ford Taurus. I drive off and mope around for a while, but eventually go back to the hood. I called the apt. complex that I want to move into and drove over there. Of course I got lost, but I found it on my own, after driving around for a nice little minute. I paid the deposit and I will move in Monday. In the meantime and between time, I am staying at another cousin's. A nice father and son team towed my car and took it to Nissan. This is definitely something I wasn't expecting. I'm from the ghetto homie! So anyway, that's my day in a huge nutshell. What a welcoming gift! I guess they didn't want me to go back to MS!
