WOW, life has been a whirlwind lately. So many things have been happening around me and I'm finding the more stuff that piles up the easier it all gets. My new Mini (car) was stolen on April 1st, but it was not an "April Fools" joke.
I had all my new kiteboarding gear taken out of the garage cabinets, too. Well, I got my car back a couple days after it was stolen. Only a broken window so not too bad. Then my kites showed up on Craig's List so I set up an undercover sting operation with 3 undercover cops and myself! Sheesh, that was freaky as I had to put myself in somewhat of a dangerous situation that involved the cop pulling a gun on the guy and then having to run down the street after his car when he didn't put the emergency brake on. Sheesh, those few moments being there alone with this guy was freaky. Despite that, I was able to get some of my kite gear back. I've also had a massive case of identity theft from this.
Although all this is going on I have learned to find a quiet resolve in it. This is really just a few things that have happened. There are quite a few many more that have given me the ability to laugh. Really, to laugh and deal with it. I think at some point I realize it is not happening "TO" me it is jut "happening." For that I have to not think karma has much to do with it as I may wind up thinking I must have lived a crazy past life. Ha ha!
Anyways, I just wanted to post and say "HEY" and let you know I'm still here and when the smoke settles a bit I'll be posting regularly again. WOOT!
Glad you're okay, Bobby! Wow, that's a pretty mind blowing whirlwind you've been in, for sure.
ReplyDeleteJust out of strange curiosity, when you say you were alone with the guy who stole your kiteboarding gear, were you involved in an action movie chase with little time to gather yourself? Or just sort of chilling near each other as the cops drafted up paper work, thus able to say, "Why'd you do this, man, why?"
Even with only eye connection, we can say just that and both people involved know EXACTLY what we mean!
Anyway, as stated before, I'm glad you are safe and still willing to share your experiences with us!
Wow, Sorry about those bad circumstances. And who can say it happened on april fools too ( no pun intended).
ReplyDeleteThat sucks, The sting operation though, you are very brave, glad you got past this whole situation.
( couldnt the cops handled it themselves?, thats pretty dangerous bro!)
Take Care-
Holy cow Bobby!
ReplyDeleteThat's a crazy blog update..
lol, I feel like I've been in a whirlwind too lately.. well ever since graduation in January.. these last couple of months have just been crrRazy.
Definitely not as crazy as yours I see! Glad everything is alright though :)
What a story... though.. seriously
I can just picture that secret sting operation in my head. That would actually make a funny short film I think :)
Ouch, seems like you're getting a few sucker punches lately - but it also seems like you've got the right attitude as well. Stay positive :)
ReplyDeletebobby, your awesome attitude continues to blow my mind. it sounds like things are looking up.
ReplyDeletei am so looking forward to seeing you at graduation in july!
um...WHAT?
ReplyDeletegeeze, Bobby this sounds like some kind of undeserved Karmalanche. One you can get out from under and move on.
To your point, sometimes things just 'happen'.
Good luck!
Life always seems to have it's "exciting" moments...
ReplyDeleteGlad you are alright!!
Your car was stolen on April 1st?!? Gee, that's not funny. Oh how the universe aigns itself. Good to hear you got it back.
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling the same way man, little explosions all around. Each one can be as big as I make it (easier said than done, though chanting that seems to help)
If all else fails, the wind still blows! See ya round
Holey Moley. I had no idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're safe, and send good wishes that all this blows over soon.
I have some enchiladas and special "Boom" vegan carrot cake for you!

WOW! Keep ur spirits! My good thoughts are with you!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say a belated Happy Birthday to you. I was in the office of AM yesterday. I am a new student, and I wish I could of met you. But I understand you were out having fun. Hopefully I will drop by the am office again since I live close by and get to shake your hand. I'll be starting class 1 in June.

Hey Bobby, I can just see that whole thing now.. the cop suddenly realizes the brake's not on, takes off running after the car, and you're just standing there with this dude who's just had a gun in his face, and you're like "Soooooo... yeah, how about this weather we're having?" :D
ReplyDeleteDude, crazy story buddy! You did get your kites back, though, right? Crazy times there, but you get a story you'll be telling people for as long as you live, though!
man that s crazy ;-) Glad the car and part of the gear is back
ReplyDeleteHey Bobby! You sound like a character from "A series of unfortunate events!" It's crazy man! I'm glad you are surviving and able to still LOL after all this! I'm sure things will get a lot better soon. The important is to be moving forward and keeping the good moods, my friend!
