ah! Finally!

haha ok,

i dont know if this post will be funny to anyone but me, but here goes anyway. So I wouldnt be me if I didnt get lost somewhere for awhile now would i? So here is what happened...after work i went out to this italian restaurant with some co-workers and it was called like "Johnny Cheeco's" or "Johnny Something that starts with a C" (apparently they are a big chain in the eastern part of America. Anyway after dinner i was heading back to my apartment and thought, you know what i dont feel like paying so much for a taxi ride to a place i can jsut walk to...so i got a taxi where it would just take me to the main road where my street is off of. The fair was only 2 pounds to get to the street which is like 2 divided by 5.687 so basically it was nothing. I thought to myself i am willing to walk what? like 30 minutes to save some money, plus the weather isnt too bad... Man was i wrong. Anyway like all of you should know i have the worst sense of direction. All i had to do was walk down a street, one street walking straight, yet somehow i dont know how i did it i ended up straying off my path and ending up somewhere i had no idea i was. The temperature rose to about 104 degrees and i was wearing a shirt, tie, and pants so i guess i started to get a little warm. After about another 20minutes of trying to do this all on my own I put myself on the mercy of the people around me, i would go up to them and try to ask for directions. Now my arabic is good when it comes to understanding, but my speaking is...well its nothing to be fair. So i had to think how could i get someone to tell me where to go without revealing i have no idea how to speak arabic. I remembered that my place was right next to the Police Academy so i would go to people and ask "hal inta araf fein kulayat shorta?" (do you know where the police academy is?) and then most of them would go "mish araf" (dont know) which made me a little worried because if they didnt know where a gigantic structure was then how far off did i go in the wrong place? Anyway i finally found the police academy but i was on the other side of it and since i wasnt allowed to cross through that was another 40 minute walk to get to my apartment. BUT i made it back, i got a really good sweat out of it and now i fulfilled one of the many things i was going to accomplish anyway while i was in an urban city; get lost. I cant even count how many times i get lost in fact i got lost so many times i had to give it a name. For those who drove with me might remember me saying something like "oh dont worry this is the fun way." I guess if you havent figured it out, the fun way refers to me having absolutely no idea where i am going or i do know where i am going or i just went in the wrong direction or missed a turn. Anyway i learned my lesson, its never good to be cheap unless you're willing to PAY the consequences! See what i did there? i was talking about physically paying some sort of currency but then put in the term pay the consequences which is just a play on words that you gotta take responsibility for your choices in life.
Anyway this was a bad post and i apologize. To make it up to everyone i will think of something really good to post on for next time. Sorry!
