Spontaneity

Today (or should I say yesterday), was Tuesday. And like almost every Tuesday this summer, Wes, Manny, Bryce and I hit up Taco Tuesday at On The Border in Mira Mesa. The tacos are only $1.25 a taco and you get a choice of shredded or ground beef, chicken or carnitas (pork). The tacos are a lot better than those Rubio's fish tacos. Better venue, better food, better service haha. I'm not trying to bash on Rubio's, but On The Border has them beat.

After dinner we went to Barnes and Noble and just looked around while trying to figure out what to do. I saw a section of books of on the history of California. These books were really in depth though. There were books on the histories of surfing, baseball, the Del Mar Fairgrounds. They also had books on towns in San Diego like La Jolla, Fallbrook, Chula Vista, etc. But to my dismay, there was no book on Mira Mesa haha. Makes one really appreciate San Diego when we have books on our history. People come to my city for vacation, and I really don't appreciate it. I remember going to Coronado one time and there was a cruise ship leaving the dock. People visit our city for tourist attractions, how many other cities can say that?

So while looking around at the books, I threw out the most random idea. I said to Bryce and Wes, "How about we get a board game, buy a hookah and just kick it at Starbucks?" And it actually turned out to be a good idea that followed through haha. Wes bought a game called "Settlers of Catan" and we drove down to PB to look for a smoke shop that sold hookahs. We went to PB and found a smoke shop, the owner of the store was pretty chill and we ended up talking about random stuff, especially the drag net grant that the police got to combat drag racing. Talked for a bit and then we headed back up to Mira Mesa to complete the quest.

We set up the hookah and got some blueberry and strawberry tobacco. Always saw those cool kids kicking it at Starbucks with their hookah and I always wanted to do it. Well, we're officially one of the cool kids haha.

We learned how to play "Settlers of Catan," and the game was surprisingly very fun. We spent three hours smoking hookah and learning how to play the game. Manny eventually won because the way the board was set up, he had a monopoly on the wheat which turned out to be an important source. The point of the game is to collect resources and build settlements and cities, to try and be the most successful nation. Like a mix between Risk and Monopoly, except instead of attacking each other, we withhold resources from one another haha.

I'm knocking out right now though. Gotta wake up early to drive to San Marcos for an APIFSA (Asian Pacific Islander Faculty and Staff Association) meeting to discuss goals and events for the upcoming semester. Then we got a Top 3 meeting to discuss goals for the upcoming semester as well.

~Stay Classy~
