All this time I have been training to compete in the Olympics (in my head) in pretty much every event cause I’m pretty awesome at everything I do. But NOW, I’m giving all that up and will just go back to eating cheeseburgers everyday and never exercising. Or should I say…continue doing those things with a good reason! Why you ask? Why would I give up my dreams to wear that gold medal around my neck?

 WHY NOT ME?! If you ever watch that show on the History Channel called Storage Wars (Love it!) then you know what it is! It’s a group of people traveling southern California buying storage units that people have lost due to non-payment. They actually auction them off to the highest bidder and all the buyers get to do is stand at the entrance and look in for 5 minutes. They can’t touch anything and they have to buy them hoping to find something valuable to profit from.

Well news just broke that SOMEONE found an REAL treasure chest inside one of the lockers that contained $500,000 worth of Doubloons! After 3 people had to help carry out this 200 year old chest from the storage unit they opened it up to find some real BOOTY! (thats treasure for you non-pirates) an expert descibed the treasure as “Pieces of Eight Spanish Gold” dating somewhere between the 16th and 19th century.
