Blessed

Umm....

Now that I'm through the difficult months, I'm glad to KNOW that I have lots of blessings around me.  The past two weeks have been filled with happy feelings.

My only goal is to return the favors.  As special as many of you have made me feel, I've never needed it more.  I hope I can just do the same.

Perfect timing with Easter coming up.  ptl

Everytime I see/hear "my father", I always think of this clip...



"THE NIGGA TRIED TO KILL MY FAAAATHER"

5am Cruising

I just took my father to the airport.

Because my sleep schedule has been so messed up, it just made sense for me to do taxi duty.

On the way down to LAX, traffic was super light (because it's freaking 5am).  We hopped on the 10 West, 405 South, exited Century, all that good stuff.  On the way back, I got back onto the 405 North - but got distracted by a bunch of flashing lights.  As I emerged onto the freeway, I saw maybe 7 or 8 fire trucks, all flashing super bright, and about 4 or 5 Highway Patrol cars flashing their lights as well.  Then I saw about 3 ambulances making their way towards the sight.  According to SigAlert, it looks like it was a collision.  If my dad and I had left maybe 10 minutes later than we did, we would've have either been stuck in the traffic due to Highway Patrol stopping everything, or we would've been in the accident.  Thank God we left when we did.

Then on the 10 East, a car drifted into my lane and almost hit me.
Shit.
Driving at 5am is not a good thing.  Well, nothing at 5am is never a good thing [unless it is either sleep or McDonald's breakfast].

Late Update

I am no longer a resident in Westwood, Los Angeles, CA. 
No more Apartment 317 on Ohio Ave. 
No more late night runs to Yoshinoya. 
No more random kick backs.
No easy ride back from school.
No more walking to Westwood Village to grab some grub.

I am officially a student commuter from home.

I definitely miss the apartment environment. 
But...

No more empty fridge.
No more sharing rooms, bathrooms, parking spaces.
No more coin-operated laundry.
No more shuttle.
No loud lady across the apartment that yells at us for being loud at 9pm but talks mothereffing loud at 3pm on her phone on her balcony.
No more Yoshinoya-dependency.

Pros and cons.
Feels good to be home though.
La Familia es mi vida.
