4:00 pm. After a long day of work, I was ready for my Next weekend adventure; I reserved a BlaBlaCar at 5:00pm a clock, so I went to a friends house, while I was taking that time the blabla driver call me an let me know he will be late like 1 hour, I said it was ok and after some minutes with my friends I leave them house to walk to the meeting point an think a little bit about life, but it starts raining and I started running, I arrived at the meeting point very soon and I took refuge in a store while I was thinking about my planes and looking what to eat before leaving, then the driver let me know he will be late like half an hour more, so I was calm and thinking I will be in my destiny not more than 4 hours, then I just wait for that driver for 1 hour (7:15) and I call him to say "hey man, where are you?" and he replies "Hey, who are you? I Already take my people from the point and by now Im full and on the way" my mouth was full of bad words and I just hang up the call while I was thinking "ok, stay calm nothing worse can happen" after some deep breathings I started looking for a new drivers car and I find a new one at 8 pm a clock, so I said to myself "just 45 minutes more". The people at the Store was looking at me like "the rain already stops you should leave the Store", I was very reflexive and very calm in my Mind so i didnt care about What just happen and like in 2 minutes I saw my clock and I see 8:15 at the time the driver call me and said to me he was at the Store, I just go and meet him in the street and we go inside the car, he started driving and we start talking about the traffic and that boring stuff we do when we meet someone New, after some minutes we started a really deep talk about life while I was looking trough the window and seeing the amazing night view, we were halfway to the destination when something strange sounds in the car (one tire broke) so we go out of the car and while he starts fixing it I was at the Middle of the highway trying to advise to the other people driving that we were there, I was just thinking "ok, Im on my way, Im very near, nothing can be worse" then we jump into the car after he fixed the tire and in 2 hours we arrived at our destination, I was super happy but by that moment the hour was 00:45 am, I was looking for an uber or a taxi, the problema was I dindt have my phone with battery so I just start walking, when a taxi driver approaches to me in his vehicle and told me "hey man do you need the better service?" I was looking at his old tsuru in very bad conditions and inside a fluosforescent blue light and the driver was just like a little crazy monkey, at that point I was like "What could happen? " I get inside the cab and as soon as we get on the way the stereo of his car falls in front of me and 2 minutes after the car starts dying, he said "hey I need some gasoline but no problem man, we will get you safe", we were very near and he starts pushing his car every time the car was going to Die, I didnt know how he can do the car works with out gasoline but finally I arrived at my destiny, but to work because I dindt look my emails for hours, so I finish working at 3 am at the morning and I just go to the rooftop of that place and I just started thinking "thanks" I just arrived safe and I think Im happy to stay calm at the Murphys law in action.
