I've been really bleh today so let me clear the air a bit...After going on that boba run yesterday, I found that my wallet was missing. I figured that it was either in my car or with one of the cars of the Saint Dom's people. So, I thought nothing of it until I couldn't find it this morning. Even though I was still missing my license, I still scurried off to work just to find out that I wasn't even scheculed today. Crap... Since I had nothing to do, I ended up making a mission of finding my wallet. The first thing that I did was return to the scene of the crime. I questioned differrent patrons and the parking booth attendants. They were totally useless in my search. I just wanted to return to my car and drive off in absolute bitterness. On the way to the parking lot elevator, I ran into a security officer. At this point I totally thoght that it was futile to ask her, but I figured that I had nothing to lose. So, I told her my situation and she knew EXACTLY what I was talking about. She was very sweet and VERY helpful to me. She gave me an exact description and explained EVERYTHING. She even had notices throughout Old Town. It turns out that someone had picked up my wallet and showed it to her. The suspect didn't even hand her the wallet. The mistake that was made was that this person frequents Old Town and showed the guard (apparently they knew each other somehow) my wallet. Officer Williams also was able to obtain the suspect's plate number and the make, model and color of the vehicle. It was supposedly going to be turned in to the proper authorites. I ended up having to go the Pasadena City Police Station and look for my walet there. Although the service there was amazing, that wasn't enough. Besides a police report and a heavy heart, I left the station totally empty handed. I have frozen all of my accounts and I will apply for a new license. Life just gets easier for Mark doesn't it?

In other news, I typed this entry at work and for some reason, I attracted my coworkers like files to a piece of fresh shit. Who knew that technology was so amazing to other people who don't have it. heh heh. Hey, I have every right to show off my Palm Pilot after spending over $350 for it. =P

Anyway, I'm not really angry today, but I am a bit frustrated. Believe it of not, I actually forgive ther person for dong this. I hope one day he realizes how fucked up his life is. I don't want to condemn the criminal. I'm better than that. I'm an example for other people. Besides, it makes me worse than the person who stole my wallet if all I do is slander this guy.

I feel better after shooting the shit. Oh, and Adolfo, thanks for the Cool Breeze. I really appreciated that. Hey the little things count too. Thanks.

On a lighter note...I've been meaning to get a new wallet anyway. I guess that was an omen to get a new one. I'm just glad that I didn't have my pictures inside, or I'd be REALLY upset.

Looks like I can't go anywhere for a while. I might as well keep a cool, optimistic head. I was in a rut not too long ago and I don't want to have to go through all of that madness again. So expect me to smile even though I'm broke and driving illegally.
