I got to play the role of a rich, white person today! Yep, I went to the Del Mar racetrack and bet on horses! Well, I picked horses for my parents because i could get closer during the parading. From my vantage point i could determine the stroner animals. We did pretty good. about forty bucks in the green. It was great fun, but it was also very educational.
For one thing, i caught a jockey. He was lurking in the bushes after the race. I caught him all curled up into a ball, whining that he had a race soon. I was afraid we was going to change me into a horseshoe, but the i realized that he was more afraid of me than i was of him. We were just looking at eachother for a couple seconds, but then i spoke up. "Where is your pot of betting tickets?" I demanded. But he just wimpered, curling up even tighter. I was right about to put him into my trusty leprachaun jar (that was all i had at the time), when i had a change of heart. A magical creature was a thing a true beauty. Sure i would love to win the million dollar purse that del mar was boasting, but i knew that i could never be happy with myself for draining this jockey of his powers. I apologized profusely and backed away. Boy those jockeys are small.

My attention was also caught by the giant balloons that were cruising overhead. I thought to myself that i would love to go for a ride in one of those. But as i looked in the small carriage, i reminded myself that i am afraid of heights. I thought about it a bit more and now im kinda doubting that. Whenever i remember myself being afraid, i always remember the same thought: If i were to jump out onto the lack of ground, i'd be pretty upset. But that's just it: "If i jumped out" I think the real problem is that i'm partially suicidal. I hope not. When i think about death, i'm not all to happy, but i dont bug out about it either. i would like to see everybody after i die. who would cry, who would rejoice... but that's too painful of a test. Gollyjee i hope i dont kill myself.
So much for a day at the races.
