Just Some Moments in the Life of Spencer Myers

So I house sat for Molly and her family while they went on a cruise. And I actually really enjoyed walking their dog, Chewy (I'm pretty sure it's spelled Chuy but I like the gringo spelling). When I was walking him I had one of those moments where I looked around and I was really appreciative of where I live. I was walking a dog in a quiet suburb with cloudless skies and perfect weather. I was walking in the street and nobody was honking at me. The mailman smiled and waved as he drove by, and I didn't know him. I realized that so many people want that in their lives, and I take it for granted a lot, that I live in a place where there are so many nice people amidst annoying East County Bros and assholes.
One day though, I was walking Chewy and I was waiting for cars to pass us on Fuerte so we could cross the street. This one car was bumping some music that sounded pretty cool, so I looked up so see who it was and it was a younger guy that I didn't know, but he threw up the hang loose at me. I kind of laughed, and thought that's kinda gay. But then I thought, you know what, that's kind of cool. What if he just drove around bumping his music, hoping for somebody to look at him, and everybody who did, he was like, "Yeah, you like that? Tight huh? Hang loose buddy." That guy knows what the finer things in life are, and I salute him.
