Big Dumb Jerks
I woke fairly early this morning in anticipation of the West End Block Party and 25-cent hot dogs. I bathed, I showered, I dressed. Yes, I had a shower and a bath. I even put on a special t-shirt just for the day.
I went down the elevator in my building, skipped outside and walked towards my brother’s safely parked truck to check on it as I always do. “That’s odd - I’m pretty sure I locked the door after the movies with Becky and Corinna the other night…” I thought to myself as I noticed the door ever-so-slightly ajar. “Geez, I even left it unlocked too!” I said outloud as I approached the vehicle.
As I looked in the window, I saw the glove box open, the centre console open and Hanson and the Scissor Sisters scattered across the front passenger seat. It just didn’t dawn on me.
“OH! I’ve been broken into!”
There it is.
Thankfully, nothing was taken. Unfortunately some big dumb jerks were probably just looking for change. I feel gross and violated by it, but at the same time, it’s really sad to think the desperate and brazen measures someone would go to for $1.50. Drugs are disgusting.
My landlord used to be the general manager of a car dealership, so he snapped the jacked lock back into place in a flash, and there was no denting, scratching or broken glass. In fact, under the circumstances, it couldn’t have gone better. However, I spoke up and asked for an underground spot until my brother retrieves the truck next Friday.

In other happenings, Becky and I managed to hit the West End Block Party on Broughton street for the carnival games, garage sales, free Sweet & Salty peanut bars and 25-cent hot dogs. I’m going to venture to guess that all the food and prizes were donated by the local Safeway, so it was a great way to raise funds for World Vision and the local community centre. My friend Craig was there on behalf of the West End’s MLA, Lorne Mayencourt, so we chilled with him for a bit too.
So now I pretty much have nothing to do. Anyone got any ideas? Someone come play with me, please!
