The Daily Rick

I stopped to get a smoothie today and saw something in the parking lot that screamed "Los Angeles". There were two groups of what looked like 16 year olds in two separate vehicles: one in a Mercedez SUV and the other in a Range Rover. Naturally, they all looked like they just rolled out of bed but in that Calvin Klein magazine ad sort of way, complete with 70s glasses and "Jesus, you're still wearing those?" sideways trucker hats. Not a care in the world existed inside these vehicles. It made me mad, but mostly it made my inner 16 year old jealous. That dude had to take 2 buses to visit his girlfriend. Not fun. Granted, everything I have I worked hard for and I'm not driving my mom's car like these kids probably are and I probably won't develop a debilitating heroin habit that started during a kegger over in Hilary Duff's basement during a make-out session with some 8th graders. Sometimes, though....I wonder how I might have turned out if I lived the good life like these kids do now.

Well...at least I don't have to listen to Good Charlotte.
