What a CRAZY day...

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

Today was an odd day but none the less it was eventful in every way. After work I had the privilege to meet with my good friend, Jimmy. We go way back, actually there was a time where we hated each others guts but now I consider him one of my closest and truest friends. Anyways our day was supposed to be ordinary but it ended up to be weird, crazy, but cool all at the same time. Jimmy met me at the SF public library (it's my new studying spot) but he didn't come empty handed. He works at BLONDIES PIZZA, one of the best pizza joints in San Francisco (I've had better, but don't tell anyone) this isn't your regular Lil Caesar slice either, it was HUGE. Now there really isn't no place to secretly eat this huge slice without anyone noticing. I didn't want to go outside either, I was on the 3rd floor. So I did what I hope any hungry person would do, I ate my slice of pizza in the bathroom. Yes I got strange looks from people I even got a remark from this old Asian man who reminded me "This is a bathroom." thank you Asian man, I tend to forget where I'm at sometimes.
From then we ventured off into the busy streets of San Francisco. It's been a while since I just walked downtown, this used to be something I did regularly. Seeing the familiar sites and smells gave me the home feeling, like I was back in my natural habitat. I told Jimmy, "man it would be tight to just be walking with a video camera here, you'll record some crazy shtuff!" I felt like a total tourist, but then the craziest thing happen...an older gentleman suddenly collapsed right in front of us! I mean I didn't know if to laugh or help him at first; but once I saw blood I knew this was no joke. We helped him as much as we could, as spectators just viewed this man struggling to get up again. We thought he was fine because he stood up and started speaking, but not even 30 seconds after he stood up he fell backwards, his head jumping off the cement. I was scared this time. I'm no medic but this man needed some help. Someone called for an ambulance which thank God came in a heart beat. They finally strolled this man away, wherever he maybe tonight my heart goes out to him and I hope he is doing well.
Yes today was a crazy day, nothing was planned it was just plain crazy! but in the end I know I felt like a better friend, a tourist, a hero, and a city kid!
