Of all the days to have a dead battery; it had to be today. I parked about 5 - 6 blocks from where I work and I was excited to be heading home. Took a casual and relaxed stroll towards my car all the while invisionning my route prior to. Anxious to see my lil gal 'cus I missed her and so I continued to walk. Listenning to my iPod cranking Hyphy mixes from my boy E3's collection and then halfway to the car switched it up to some Pinoy culture ballads by my current fave Pinoy singer Ogie Alcasid. So at this point Im all chill and mindin' my own business. At about 10 feet from xBrmnt (my Scion xB), I fumbled with my keyless entry fob and attempted to keylessly unlock xBrmnt and I did not see nor hear xBrmnt unlock.... hmmm, must be the fob. So I gently whacked the fob on my palms and attempted again and "Bam!"... nothin'. So I unlocked it manually and attempted to start the car.... inserted the key and turned it and silence.... Dead battery?... so I checked the light switch lever and sure enough. I had left the headlights on from this morning. Oh well, can't do anything but call somebody... then it hit me; I forgot my cel phone at home... damn.... so I got out of the car and took 4 quarters and 2 dimes (no not brizzies - real dimes)... I walked around looking for pay phones and nothing... so I headed back towards work and placed my headphones in my ears and push the play button and vibin with the music again... so I'm just all chill... ain't nothin I can do anyways and no point gettin all mad. So I just keep on walkin. I spotted a pay phone at the park and went straight for it. In the mean time I didn't notice that my headphones was in my ears and no music....too busy thinkin. Got to the phone and called my girl and "Oh schnapps!" 50 cent local calls...wtf... last time I used the pay phone it costed 25 cents... I had 4 quarters and so I couldn't call whoevers for help. Didn't matter anyway 'cus the only number I know is my girl's... So she answered and I held for a bit while she attempted to do a 3-way call. That didn't work out too well... 5 minutes holding and I hear the change fall into the phone's depository bin and "click"... Reached into my pocket and pulled out 2 quarters, 2 dimes, and lint.... So instead of using the quarters, I thought, save it and just head for work and use the phone there. So headed for work and then it hit me again.... "damn" no music... oh well... so casually I walked towards work and surely enough I get there and pulled out my card key swiped it and "Fail"... no entry.... "Fudge cake!".... damn.... So I went for the security tower and asked to use the phone and started calling... (To be continued)
