$14.62 extra for me for no reason...or death.

Sooo, today was a bit odd. I woke up planning on going to water world with the fam, but at around noon I was informed that they were all leaving for Wyoming today instead of tomorrow. I changed, and I dried my hair and left a few hours later with no real plans other than spending my target gift card on toiletries and whatever else I could find, which for once happened to be nothing. I then searched high and low for a camera store for much longer than necessary, seeing as how Wolf Camera is right across the street from the Denver West Target. I got me a spendy little battery for my camera and took a whole entire one picture, can you believe it? Yeah. Well, I don't want to waste my film. Or something. Then I drove down Colfax looking for one of those odd Colorado car washes where you actually have to wash your own car, but I decided to be picky and only go to one on my side of the street. Oddly enough, all of the car washes were on the opposite side of the street, so after driving for about 25 minutes I finally decided to give in to the left side. Here is where my odd experience began. I knew I was in an undesirable part of town, so I sat in my car for a sec to oganize all of my stuff and get my dollars out to get changed into coins for the machine, when a man came up and knocked on my window. He was a middle aged man, and didn't look harmful, so I opened my door. My first thought was that he worked there and was going to tell me that certain bay wasn't working or something. Instead hepointed to his blazer and told me e was dead out of gas, his car wouldn't even start. He asked if I had any gas and of course I didn't so I said no but I offered to go get some. He took up my offer and as I went to get back in my car he shoved a twenty my way. I laughed and said "why don't I just go get a can of gas and you pay me when I get back?" He said, "no, just take it to pay for it" and we went back and forth like eight times and then I said " I don't want to take it because what if you're not here when I get back? What if someone else helps you, you don't want me just running with your mmoney..." But he assured me that he would be there when I got back, and told me that this was a very bad part of town and he was happy that I was so nice, and that he was sorry I had o be in this part of town for longer than I had planned. I went to a gas station and got me a can and a gallon of gas and arrived at the wash about ten minutes after I left to find nooooo trace of the man. I was really confused. I walked aroung a bit, and called a friend, and while I was on the phone saw a blazer stop on a side street for a sec...I am wondering if that was him seeing if I really had come back or not. I don't know whether to fear for my life cause he set me up for something, or to feel blessed by a random nice stranger in the equivelent of the bronx...

The rest of my day was fairly boring and I have a headache from watching tv for the last 3 hours. I am going to stop now.
