it's a cloudy friday.

it's one of those days where you look outside and you think it could down pour at any moment.
i kind of hope it does.

but, this weather is very appropriate for the friday morning i've been having so far...

so, i get up this morning at 5:20. a little early, but i just joined a gym so that i can swim. (my knees have not been doing so great lately.) i'm driving along trying to find the 24 hour fitness in west hollywood. i can't really find it, but it's okay because i've got my harry potter 6 on cd in my car to listen to. life is still good. so i finally find it and realize that there's no parking lot. boo. after learning that it costs about $5 to park in the parking structure, i decide to park on the street. i see that the spot i need to parallel park in, is pretty big. sweet. i pay my '20 minutes per quarter' and head in to swim. after some trouble actually finding the pool, which was outside, i start my swim. it felt good to be back in the pool. i finish my work out and head back to my car to find this note:

"you took up two spots asshole -- someone got mad so they keyed your car"
*directly quoted, sorry for the language.

i quickly examine my car to see where the damage was. fortunatley i didn't find it to be to alarming. but still, who would write a note that like! i didn't even know i was taking up two spots! oh man, really!? i get in my car and as i'm driving away, pretty upset, maybe even crying a little... i think to myself "i hate LA."

HA. that was my morning.
