Have you ever wondered if there are still honest and considerate people out there? Have you ever lost something so valuable to you, and have it returned to you? What's the likely hood of that happening? Sometimes there's no value to the object, but there's an emotional attachment to the object.

Well today...was a funny day. I had gone to the gym over at 2nd and Folsom and they have a validated parking garage. I take my ticket, walk to the gym, check in and get it stamped. I get to the locker room and get all my gear together, stuff my bag in a locker and head for the cardio room. As I'm on the stairmaster listening to Ice Cube on my cd player, I start thinking if I locked my locker. I always do this to myself...always trippin if I have my keys, or if I locked my lock...etc.. I think I get it from my mom. Anyways...I think...yeah..i'm sure I did... So I finish my set and I head upstairs to do a little more cardio and then work on my abs on the bench. I sit and put my cd player on the floor, thinkin how one of my girls found one at the gym and snatched it.... I'm thinkin...man..peeps just don't have any consideration for other people's belongings. What if that cd player had some sentimental meaning to her?? I'm not saying that i'm a saint cause i've done some pretty bad shiet in my day too and if I was in my girl's situation..who knows..I probably would have snatched it too...

An hour passes and I'm finish workin out and I head back to the locker room. I noticed a parking garage ticket on the counter. I start thinkin..oh man..someone left there's...That sucks... Well I open my locker and start rufflin thru my gym bag...and frickin A...WHERE'S MY GARAGE TICKET!!!!! Oh shiet...is that my ticket on the counter??? I walk over to the counter..look at the time it was stamped- 18:41. That's about the time I got here.. NO SHIET...IT IS MINE!!! Although there's no value to the ticket, some chick could have just swiped it for herself so she wouldn't have to pay for the garage, or it could have just been thrown away by one of the janitors. I left the locker room w/ a smile on my face..there are still some honest/considerate people out there!!! That just made my night :-)
