Today I am at work again.... Seeing a pattern here. Work, work , work! I can not wait till Wednesday when my best friend Tiffany and I go to the Lady Gaga concert. I need some fun in my life!!!! Well today I had a guest who got sent up here to pick up a stranded truck then found himself stranded with the truck. He had no money and his company is closed today. He had money on his T-check card which you can only cash out at Truck stops I guess. Which I need to look into cause if we could get into business with that we would probably get alot more business from the truck drivers. But anyways he had no money and no ride. So I researched the internet for him. I found the closet truck stop then found a bus route for him to get there. I am privleged because I have never had to take the bus in Detroit. In Chicago a couple times but I have no idea how buses work. So we eventually worked together and I gave him a discount on his room so he would have enough money to get to his money and have money left over to get something to eat later. I feel real good about it. He does too. I really like helping people out. I always try to put myself in their shoes. I have been in some tough spots in my life and things have always worked themselves out. When I first moved to Chicago there were times when I did not have money to eat, my car got impounded and I had no money. Due to the help of my friends back home and kind random strangers I am alive and well today.
Alittle random story. Back when I first moved to Chicago I was in a weird time in my life. If you read my profile it says I have a spotty past. Well I left for Chicago on a whim. Posted a myspace bulletin saying who wants to go to Chicago and a girl I knew back home replied already here staying with a friend come out here. I did. Then I did not come home for 9 months. She was an escort we will name her Jaimie. The guy she was staying with was a customer. A lonely guy who paid her to keep company. She got kicked out within three days of staying there. Gordon said I could stay but I felt weird. So we moved in with these guys Jamie had met at the bar. Long story short my car got towed. I had no money. No idea how to get it out of the impound. My family would not send me money cause they knew at this time in my life I was a lost cause. My friend who was like a brother to me Doug from back home knew I was heading in the wrong direction. We had lost touch but I called him to help me. I asked him for money and even though it had been a few months since I spoke with him and our last conversation had ended with an arguement about how i needed to get my life together he sent me the $150 to get my car out. I tryed to call him when I had the money but he never answered his phone for me again. I never paid him back. I have not spoke to him since. So on my journey into 2010 and my nice deeds I plan to achieve one of my top ones is to pay Doug back. Somehow some way. I want to let him know that I never forgot our talk that summer night. Doug and I had a real weird relationship where we argued constantly and while I may have been a mess towards the end I wasn't always like that. He had hurt me in the past and I had hurt him back. But that last fight he was right and he cared about me more than any of my other guy friends ever had. He took on a big brother role and I do not know how to repay that back but I can promise that I will find a way somehow.
