After all that's been going on lately, I actually started feeling a little better today. I just needed to get through this week and everything would be ok. I went to work happy knowing that my week was almost over and that tomorrow was my last day of my work week. It was about lunch time and I had a craving for Pho, so I ordered my usual from Pho 777 to pick up and take home to eat. I get in my car and leave for lunch. As I'm approaching the next intersection, where I would normally make a left turn, I noticed an unusually long line of cars turning left. I thought to myself maybe I should just make a left at the next street. So, I decide to go straight. But oh! The light is about to change, so I step on the gas to catch the light. I continue to drive for a little bit, but then soon realize that a cop is behind me trying to pull me over!

At this point I feel no more emotions. With everything else going on my life, I just didn't know what to think anymore. I just pulled into the next parking lot as if this was supposed to happen. I park the car, but notice that the cop isn't behind me for some odd reason. He was back there still pulling over another person. So I thought to myself, "Maybe it wasn't me he was pulling over. Should I just leave?" I decided the safest thing to do was just stay put. So I waited. The driver he was talking to back there pulls up next to me. Turns out the cop was pulling both of us over! WTF!? I didn't know cops were allowed to do that.

So, the cop explains to me that he was actually targeting the other car with his radar. But noticed I was driving along side her and I continued to drive at my speed even after the other car had slowed down. So he went after me first to get me to pull over, then stayed behind to get the other driver to pull over too. He also said that when he first saw me, it was a 35 zone...but I continued into a 25 zone. I didn't even notice the 25 speed limit sign. (I drove that same route later and it turns out that the 35 zone turns into a 25 zone, then right back into a 35 zone, then a 25 school zone later. That street is stupid.) He said he had paced my speed at 56mph. I really don't know how fast I was going though, but I was going with traffic, there was another car in front of me going the same speed. I wonder why the cop didn't pull him over too!

I'm usually very careful with my speed, but I'm driving my sister's car right now so it feels different. It's bigger, so I don't realize that I'm actually going faster than I think until I look at the speedometer. Another thing that I can't help but think about is that I should have just made that left turn instead of going straight! If I had waited, I would've been fine. But there's nothing I can do about it now, right? Oh well, thank God for Ticket Terminators. Now I just have to figure out a way to pay the ticket.

A friend of mine told me he's not religious or anything, but maybe it's a sign from God.

My response was ,"If this is God's way of trying to tell me something, well it's pissing me off!"

Seems like 2008 has brought nothing but misfortune. I really hope things do get better. Wishing for a better tomorrow....
