My Lightsaber Is Bigger Than Yours

7/31/2005

The day was pretty good. C, M, and I decided to head to the Sea Breeze Market to meet up with my best friend, his wife, and their cute new baby girl. He told me that his baby, Ryann, was going to be on solid foods very soon. As I listened to him, and looked into his eyes, I was still having a hard time seeing him as a Daddy. But he looked so proud and happy, even with the Baby Bjorn strapped to his chest. Ha, Ha, Ha!

After that, I decided to take C, M, and K to my old stomping grounds....the little Albany Beach. It just so happens that it's right behind the Golden Gate Fields Race Track. This was their first experience venturing there. Right away M was throwing a two foot long stick in the waves as K ran and dove in to the waves to retrieve it.

Meanwhile, my son and I put together his large glider and attempted to fly it into the air. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing too hard. This prevented the glider to sail in the air. Instead it would fly and then the strong wind would slam it into the sandy beach. We couldn't stay long for the fact that M had lots of shopping errands to complete for the big trip to Brazil.

On the way home from the beach, we decided to take K to the pet store for a bath. I managed to get a parking spot right in front of the store doors. It just so happened that the adoption for cats was right out in front of the store. K and M had gotten out of the car as C and I were still trying to do the same. I turned my head towards the sound of the cat adoption ladies saying "Are you okay?" It turned out that K had walked so fast towards the cats, that M ended up tripping over the curb and onto her knee.

My first glance was from the car, and M was staring right at me from the ground in pain. All I could think about was her trip to Brazil, as I rushed over to see if I, too, could assist her. Turns out she was in so much pain. One of the adoption volunteers gave up her chair and told M to sit down. Everyone was talking at once. I wasn't quite sure what to do at that point. So as this older man was saying the same thing had happend to him, I told him straight up, "Look sir, right now is not a good time for your story please, thanks, now beat it" well the "beat it" part was under my breath, but I still didn't feel like hearing that shit. My baby was on the ground. So a lady told me to get some ice at the grocery store. I quickly jumped in the car and hit the market down the block.

Later, she felt okay to walk to the car. We decided to head home until M's laser appointment. We rested for a little. The plan was that K and C were going to stay home while I dropped M off at her 5:30 appointment. Then, I would head to mom's to pick up some of my things in the garage. I came back to pick her up around 7:00 then headed home to pick up C. Our plan was to get some dinner and then head to the stores for M's final touches of shopping for the big trip.

As I backed the car out of the driveway, we noticed two cop cars sitting in front of the lesbian neighbors' house. Then we headed down the steep hill, and two more cop cars were sitting on the corner. My presumption was that they must have someone cornered on the block....maybe in our backyard. Poor Kobi. While driving to Applebee's, we kept trying to put together a scenerio. Dinner was cool, and shopping was aight. But getting home and watching Mad TV was better.

The next day Angelo picked up M for rehearsel. C, K, and I just drove over to Mom's and hung out. Later that night when M came home and our night was about to end, already tucked in the bed, I turned the 10 o'clock news on. After they showed President George Biatch Bush kissing boy scout troops' ass, they mention and highlight that the trail that I walk K on was a murder scene. Two boys were shot and killed and one was critically injured. The suspect had been caught in the back of someone's yard. All just F#$%$ great news before M was getting ready to leave in a few days. Could this had happen when I usually walk K over there?

Here is the link to the news story, with a video. I have a feeling even though there was dark energy in the air, the force was with me!
