Ok, so this weekend was supposed to be a great one for me seeing as i was heading to Buffalo to see the Dolphins (my fav team) with my bestfriend (fellow TA Tyson) but it quickly turned disastorous. Let me explain.

Saturday 10:00pm - Call Tyson, ask him about the arrangements of meeting up (since he lives in London). Find out the bus he can catch leaves at 3:30am so i figure (being the great friend i am) ill go pick him up so he can be well rested for the game and we can head out early to tailgate. I pick up my cuz (for company for the ride) and proceed to London. Get there around 12:15 or so, smoke a phatty, drink a beer, spin some records, then take off around 1:30.

Sunday 1:45am - My car breaks down on the 401 in Ingersoll (bout 10 km's east of London). So i call my bro and my dad wakes up gets on the phone, and says hes comin to pick me up. We wait, til about 3:30 or so freezing our chodas off and they arrive. My dad is convinced its the battery so were trying to boost it, even tho i KNEW it had juice, i figured it was something to do with the fuel line or something. So, after about 45 minutes of trying to start it, boost it, fuck it, my dad said fuck it and called CAA. they say it'll be bout 45 minutes til a tow truck arrives.

Sunday 5:15am - Tow truck arrives, drops off my car at the nearest GM dealership which is in the middle of buttfuck land. Hop in daddys car, and head back to Dundas.

Sunday 7:00am - Get inside my home, now pretty much delerious, give my mom a hug and kiss and wish her happy birthday....go to bed.

Sunday 8:30am - Get up, only to find that the guys we were going to the game with were already on their way to the game, so i get the phone book and start lookin up fuckin car rental places.

Sunday 9:30 - Go to Budget, rent a fuckin car. Proceed to Buffalo.

Sunday 11:30 - Arrive at the US/CAN border to find an INSANE amount of traffic completely stopped, not moving.....i begin to get nervous.

Sunday 11:45 - Still havent moved.

Sunday 12:00 - The pregame show is on, im supposed to be partying outside the stadium, im still in my stupid rental car, and im still in Canada.

Sunday 12:30 - Finally start showing signs of movement, but still quite aways from the peace bridge.

Sunday 1:00 - The game has started, and were now just getting on the peace bridge.

Sunday 2:20 - Get to the game with 2 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, Dolphins are up 13 - 3 and we finally take our seat.

Sunday 4:30 - Game over. Dolphins win. Yippy. I need sleep.

Sunday 7:30 - Finally get home. Give my mom her bday present, eat chinese food.

Sunday 10:00pm - Go to bed.

Monday 9:00am - 9:30pm - Work.

Tuesday 9:00am - Drop off rental, pay $175....hop in my dads car, drive to ingersoll. Pay the $175 for the sparkplug, and fuel guage shit (turns out i ran outta fuel). Hop in my car drive from Ingersol to Mississauga work til 9:30pm go shopping til 11:00 come home at 12:30.

So basically with all that being said, i ended up paying $350 and drove an extra 400km's because i ran outta gas. To top it off i forgot to mention a few other things. The Dolphins even tho they won, were eliminated from the playoffs that evening when the Broncos upset the Colts. And another pisser, when i picked up my car the Wendys cup i had left in my cup holder had completely leaked and i had about 10 bux in change mixed in with all of the sticky leaked out pop. Turns out the wait at the Peace Bridge was due to a terrorist alert that happened to land on this peticular Sunday!! - GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Bring on 2004.....i think my luck this year has run out!
