Did the gods smile on me this weekend, or what?
 

This has been one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. Here's why:

1) Friday night I tuned in to the Sci-Fi Channel just in time to see the first of three episodes of Special Unit 2. I loved this show back when it was originally on the air and I had no idea the Sci-Fi Channel was going to show start showing it on Friday nights.

2) Today I went to the mall to get my girlfriend her Valentine's Day and birthday presents. I got a good parking spot, the store had exactly what I wanted, and I didn't have to wait in line for a long time.

3) Earlier tonight was the first race of the NASCAR season. I'm happy that NASCAR is back and the race was good, but the finish kind of bummed me out. Elliott Sadler is my driver. He was running strong and probably would have finished no worse than seventh, but Dale Earnhardt Jr. bumped him (unintentionally) right before the finish line on the last lap and caused him to wreck. Oh well. At least this race doesn't actually count for the standings.

4) After the race ended, I channel-surfed over to Spike TV and discovered that there was several hours of UFC shows being aired. I love the UFC.

5) Tomorrow night there will be a new episode of Battlestar Galactica.

Dude! The world is at your feet.

So your life would be just too amazing if you had Tivo, huh? :)

You're easy to please, at any rate!

Crap!!! I missed a race???? Freakin retail......
So, who won and where did Jr. place?
Yea, I love the little positives that seem to pop up just when they're needed.
Hope yours continues ;)

Tony Stewart won the race. Jr. ended up taking 14th place, and Elliott Sadler got 16th (both should have finished in the top 10 were it not for the wreck).

The bright side is that the best finish for a Toyota was 8th place. :thumbsup:

Well I thought I was having a great weekend...Dave and I went antiquing yesterday and I found 3 more pieces to add to my cape cod dish collection (poor woman way underpriced what she had lol) and got all 3 for 25 bucks

now I find out Stewart won.... :(

God is happy, sabu...he plays with us.

You know, I totally see what you're saying... sometimes the greatest gift we can get, luck-wise, is just getting a good parking spot and hassle-free retail experience. It's always nice to have things going your way. Great thread. :)

How can you see what someone is saying?

how did my amazingly (I wish) no. 7 Jack Daniels clint B. finish!?

OH well, another season of poo for my boy at any rate more than likely

Thanks! That's exactly what I meant with this thread. None of these things were earth-shatteringly serious, but it was a bunch of little things that were beyond my control that just happened to work out perfectly.

Bowyer wasn't in this race, actually. Don't worry, though. The results don't count for the Nextel Cup series.
