First, if you want to read the maniacal ravings of Mr. Hyde, check out csergio.blogspot.com :)
So I spent my Friday night as now usual. Stayed at school until 11:30 working on a project, and got up at 9:30 Saturday morning to finish it, so I could come to South Bend for my mom's birthday, except yeah I didn't finish the project. I guess this is gonna be the weed-out semester. Well I'm not going anywhere. I'll hafta stay up on Sunday night when I get back to finish.
Awesome.
The weird thing is that I was standing in Jamba Juice (NASDAQ: JMBA) waiting for my flippin' sweet smoothie, staring out the window cause Tiffany was talking my ear off again (okay that's not true and I hope she's laughing right now) and I see people walking by, except one of em looks a lot like my cousin Brian. And the more I double and triple take and stare, the more I realize it IS my cousin Brian.
So as I'm frozen in place by my own confusion at what he's doing here, I realize I don't recognize anyone he's with, and I look again, and sure enough, its still Brian. And then Jimmy walks by. At this point I regain motor control as confusion turns to shock and I dash out the door, "JIMMY!" and realize that Davey and friend Kevin Walorski are with them. Weird. Turns out they were in town for the auto show (also flippin' sweet) and needed to be directed to the nearest pizza place. Lucky for them my favorite place in town was three blocks away.
But the real point is- this happens enough, randomly enough, that I got to wondering how often you actually just miss occasions like this. I only saw em cause I decided to go get a Caribbean Passion before I headed outta town. But seriously. Think about that. Makes you wonder.
Hopefully Helio phones will answer that question for us someday, since they're fitted with GPS and can be set to ping your phone anytime your friends and their phones are within whatever radius of you, and you can Google Map them and go say hi. Now that's technology.

Nice. I didn't even think to tell them to call you if they needed anything :)
VERY nice that you guys came in for your mom's bday. That's love :)
ILY. Stay warm.
You know what was even more strange about the whole thing was that we weren't even supposed to be on that side of the street. We had been told to go the direction we were heading by someone originally but did not take the advice in search of a different place to eat. Then we asked a police officer who told us the best bet was the other way which had been the way we were originally told to go. So we decided after two suggestions alright then. And then you know the rest from there. Strange how in such a big city it's weird, at least for me, to nearly always see someone I know from SB every time I visit. Might not be as often for you, that is every time, considering every time you already live there. Well I was excited to see my name in your blog and therefore found it necessary to comment.

It's YOU! I got the sarcastic "awesome." from you! I've been wondering lately how that habit started and you're the first person i've seen use awesome that way. Well, someone who hasn't already gotten the habit from being around me :)
