Freak of super-nature
Thursday, October 9th, 2008Tonight after having dinner with one of my friends Dan, I went to Bayshore Mall to go to Mrs. Tiggy Winkle’s toy store to find a game. It’s called “Bang” and I’ve wanted to purchase it since playing it on overseas this summer. Basically, the game is a structured (more intense) version of Mafia, using a Sheriff, outlaws, deputies, and a renegade. Some nights we played this game until 1am in NA, it was crazy and so addictive.
Unfortunately, the store that referred me to Bayshore was incorrect and identified another game named “Bang! Zoom!” or something to that effect. Bayshore didn’t have any stock of the game I was looking for. I wanted to get this game before some Ottawa U students game to chill after the meeting tomorrow night. It looks like we’ll have to have some other kind of gameage.
I thought I had wasted some gas and some time there so I decided to walk around the mall a little to redeem the time. There weren’t too many stores that looked appealing but I ended up entering West49 and strolled about looking at the newest skater styles and shoes. There wasn’t much there that was my style, whatever my style is.
As I walked out, the store manager intercepted me and said something, which is when I did a double-take and was like “whoa dude!” because I recognized him from Toronto. Chesterton (that’s what I’ll call him here) was a friend who worked at Sporting Life Bikes and Boards with me way back when I was in high school. He left The Life a bit of time ago for West49 and loves it, now he’s actually managing some stores here in Ott. We chatted for a decent amount of time and now we are reconnected. Not sure what will happen but I’d definitely like to figure out a way to go biking or boarding with him sometime in the Gatineau. Chesterton seems like a really great guy who cares a lot about where he’s headed in the business, and I’d like to see what God’s loving and perfect plan is for this dude.
This occurrence kind of made my evening, rounded it off well.
