Bummed: Engine Failure

Once again, my plans have been foiled to chill in SD. The plan was to go down and help out at 5&A Dime, check out Alvin's new pad, kick it with the homies at U-31, sleep, and tailgate at the Chargers game. I was also gonna pick up some furniture at my old apartment, so I took my dad's car down.

I made my way down in the afternoon and was able to get to Univ. I got to talk to Tim whom I haven't seen since he and his wife had the baby. I also ran into Billy aka IrisWildcat (NSB.org). Thanks for another promo code! I will definitely put it to good use.

Also much thanks to Nash for the hookup on my new Brixton hooligan. Be ready for his album coming out late Janurary.


He also hooked it up with this freebie. Hah. Who would have thought this would come into fruition in the form of an actual drink? I did. (See Honesty Party post.)


Here's where I get fucked. Well first, this is my new camera (Canon Powershot SD790) which is the same one Cesar got recently. I needed this for the time lapse feature and thought it would be cool to try this out. Put it on my mini-tripod and set off for San Diego.


I really like how this video turned out because it looks so silky smooth. Here is the drive from Anaheim Hills, to Univ in Encinitas, and then back on the road towards 5&A Dime. It's a pretty long video that isn't too interesting besides the fluidity of it. So if you don't wanna watch the whole thing, at least skip to the last 10 seconds.


Yea. I had to pull over. Right after the 805 and 5 junction, the car sorta jolts and then all the indicator lights go on in the dash. Then they all shut off along with the engine. I roll forward and pull over to the left shoulder.


Fuck me. Goddamn battery. Kinda strange that it dies WHILE DRIVING??


So I call AAA and get a tow truck. After talking with my dad, we figured it was best to just take the car all the way back to Anaheim.


DAMN YOU CAR!


So basically I sit shotgun with the AAA driver and he's basically telling me some crazy stories (which I can't really share so publicly). I guess I'm kinda lucky that there weren't a lot of cars on the freeway when it happened. It could have been a lot worse.

I get home and eat dinner and watch the rest of Entourage Season 5. I guess that's another plus. And I'll be coming down tomorrow still with the rest of the crew for the Chargers x Falcons game still. Yipee.....


Pretty bummed out now. Goodnight.
