#59.) On the way up to Kenny's wedding, I finally hit a toll booth. I was nervous about this one because I rarely cross through toll booths anymore. I slowed down to make sure that I could see somebody filling in the spot behind me. I was considering paying for the car behind me without them being in sight so they wouldn't know it was me. Had I done that, I could have completed another goal in doing something nice for somebody without them knowing. However, I do not know how trust worthy a toll booth employee would be so I wouldn't even find out if I did something nice or created some theft.
So the dude that pulls up next to me just so happens to be a very scary looking black dude. I am not implying that all black people are scary or that he was scary because he was black. I am simply saying that this guys was a black man and had a very scary face. Butt since I did not want to blow my chance, I paid $2.50 for myself and requested to pay for the car behind me. I slowed down a bit leaving the booth to make sure the lady didn't pocket the money.
Now there were 2 scenarios I would have liked from this:
- I pay for the person behind me and they 'pay it forward' and pay for the car behind them and so on.
- I pay for the car behind me and they feel good about the day and drive past me with a smile and wave.
#52.) Laura Hoyle just moved in with a friend who had an extra bed. He wanted it gone and I have been sleeping on an air mattress for about 5 months. $75 got me an almost brand new queen size mattress. This is an upgrade from my air mattress and from my previous queen size that I removed from a dumpster a few years back. The springs were terrible and my body ached every morning from that bed. This new one is firm and beautiful.
#93.) On the way to Kenny's wedding, I stopped by Washington D.C. to visit a friend with Laura. It was an okay city with ridiculous roads that create more traffic than there needs to be. I did not get to see the monuments up close butt I got the general idea. Hit up some bar that night as well and I was not impressed. It was a sports bar that had people clubbing and dancing all over the place. I was very confused by that. First thing I saw was some dude standing on a bench dancing to Ke$ha which made me sad. No rush to head back to D.C.
