Just My Luck
Apparently I have to just live next to a Volkswagen Passat – I can’t own one. My neighbor recently traded in his old car for a brand new Volkswagen Passat. Big Deal you may be saying. Big Deal indeed – the previous owner of the place next door also traded in his old car for a brand new Volkswagen Passat within a few months of establishing his domicile there. Then there’s this new guy – buys the place, moves in, we say “hi” and BOOM, he buys a brand new Volkswagen Passat. That’s pretty weird in my book.
Not that I have anything against the Passat – I think it’s a pretty happening car. It’s just that those kinds of things happen to me ALL THE TIME. Nothing lucrative like winning the lottery (OK, to win the lottery you actually have to purchase a ticket, so you got me there…), more like “getting the same hotel room two stays in a row” or “bump into your good high school friend in an airport in a foreign country”. I could go on, but it’s just not funny any more. I don’t want all this fluffy stuff – I want the MONEY.
