The Roommate giveth and the Towman taketh away

Yes, The Roommate Guy paid me my money yesterday. We went to lunch, he gave me $500 and paid for lunch. I was so happy, since i only ate one slice of the pizza he bought, I gave the other to this homeless man I always see hanging outside the subway station. I quickly deposited the cash full of glee. Little did I know, something had happened that would undoubtedly ruin my happy demeanor.

After work, roommate guy and I met up and rode the subway home together. Since he was dropped off at the station that morn, I offered to give him a ride. But since I wouldnt get out of bed yesterday morn, I had parked at The Mall (Blvd at the Cap Center) parking lot for the 2nd day in a row.... We walked to where my car should have been, all the while I'm hitting my alarm button. But no chirp, no car....I had been towed. Upon contacting the tow company I was informed that it would cost $180 to get MY CAR and of course they dont take credit cards, cash only. HENRY'S TOW COMPANY is the Debil.

So I took a cab ride to the Roommate's car and he dropped me off at the tow company. They asked for registration, as if I would know to be looking and happen to have the keys for a car that's not mine.....But i didnt have it....(Back drop: I got a ticket one time and havent been able to find my registration since)....Then they asked for insurance papers, which i thought i might have a old one ( I never remember to put my insurance papers in my car), it was a good thing I did because they wouldnt have given me my car and my ride had already left.....

So I got $500, Spent $3 at the ATM to get MY MONEY, had to spend $180 to get MY CAR, and was 20 mins late to my second job. At least I'm still $300+ in the positive. I was proud of myself cause although I was mad I didnt let it get to me. Hell, there was nothing i could do about it. There was no need to get mad. I'm trying not to stress myself over things I cant control. Whenever you stress it releases a chemical in your system.... Think about that the next time you get mad over uncontrollable circumstances, that shit really is bad for your health...
