Jaime's So Called Life

Erin and I rallied to the boat show Sunday. He was a little resistant at first. He thought it was going to be depressing. He knows its the closest he's getting to a $400,000 boat. Unless it comes with land and and a 3 bedroom house, it's out of the question. Personally, I think nothing is more fun than looking at a bunch of beautiful things you can never ever afford! Does that make me a masochist? You know poor people can dream too.

What made the day complete was our bus rides. As in multiple rides on the bus. That's how we roll these days. If we are heading into downtown we hop on the 'ol Metro and enjoy the $2 entertainment! You can't beat it! On the way into town we made new friends with the help of a crazy lady (who claimed she was a captain in the Air Force - not really believable) yelling at said new friend and telling him to shut up. Only classy folk are allowed to ride on the city bus in Seattle. Because of her random, inappropriate outbursts, Erin and I made life long friends with "whats his face" and his best bud and we learned that we all lived on boats. We decided to take our friendship to the next level. After we got off at the bus stop we shared a pitcher of beer at Pyramids. It was at this point that I realized our new BFFs had pre-funked before they hopped on the bus. Watching "whats his face" down a mini bottle of liquor on the bus apparently wasn't a dead give away for me. I admit it, I'm a little slow on Sundays. After Erin and one of our BFF's exchanged numbers (with the repeated insistence from "what's his face") we then all headed to the Boat Show and I was literally crossing my fingers that our pals would decide to go their separate way. Luck was on my side and Erin and I were able to enjoy the show with my normal, sober family instead!

Our final bus ride (there were several in between that were pretty uneventful) had a little tid bit of drama. Two males of African American descent that looked to be a couple (not that their heritage or sexuality matter - I just need more words to fill up this paragraph) were arguing. UNFORTUNATELY we were sitting in the back so I wasn't able to fully enjoy the show and hear what was being argued about. Ya know, the good stuff. I don't know if a fellow rider tattled or if the bus driver over heard the dispute but the driver did make an announcement to the guys that were fighting and one of them stormed off the bus. Bummer. I guess $2 will only get you so much.
