TODAY. I BIKED.

Today was interesting. I did everything I want to except for going to the gym. Woke up at 11:39 AM, oversleeping, because I had work at 12PM. I got dressed, cleaned up, loaded my bike, loaded my gear and left the house in 10 minutes. If that's not quick, don't tell me what is. I just worked from 12-5, nothing special about it, people still waiting outrageously long for ice cream, don't know why, don't really care, more tips for me

After though, me and two other co-workers went bike riding. I busted out that Huffy bike I had since I was fifth grade and had it cleaned up the night before. We biked from Long beach to Seal Beach, took us roughly around 45 minutes against the blisteringly hot sun and the wind. Nature was not with us. When we got there it was really relaxing, since we ate at this cheap mexican place (pic here) and when I mean cheap, I'm talking about the price because the food, was damn good. I mean, damn good. We were also next to the Coldstone at Seal Beach, and although the location was nice, that looked like such a shitty place. That and most of the customers were kids since kids would want ice cream right after going to beach. We were going to make fun of the crew by going in and pretending we don't know jack shit and asking all these questions and in the end, just saying we don't want any…but man, after what we saw, it wasn't worth degrading them anymore. I mean, one of the workers shouted they would dance and sing for 3 dollars (pic here, they are the circled people, on the counter). That means, they are desperate for tips. VERY DESPERATE. We get 5 dollar tips all the time and the most we do is sing a little louder, we _WOULD_ not even dance for 5 dollars. Oh well, you do what you gotta do. This biking exercise was really fun, so now, I am biking with them since one of them goes biking a lot, I'm just going to tag along.

We had left at 5 PM and when I dropped off my friend at 9PM. We would've got back sooner if one of the workers thought it'll be smart to go in the wrong direction (thinking he's right) while everyone else went the other way, so we had to go back and look for him. But if we didn't have that detour, we would've been back at 8PM. Go to Seal Beach, chill for an hour and ride back.
