I called in a 911 call on Tuesday because a bunch of guys were being load and one of them kept repeating “put down the knife motha fucka”. Now normally I would ignore that and chalk it up to young men being dramatic. But. About a year ago a couple of guys jumped a young man in an attempt to steal his car. His aunt ran out during the scuffle and, well, she was shot dead. No one has ever been arrested (as far as I know) in regards to this crime.
So here I am, listening to a similar situation, and I call 911. This seems like the obvious solution to me, but it horrifys my girlfrend. Suddenly, we are a target. This had never occured to me. I’ve always been in a position where crime was few and far between and when one had to call it in, it would be for something catestrophic, like a tornado. ee
Check this out. This entire thing bugged me out, I couldnt believe that I could call the po po and within 5 minutes the assholes were gone. It took a full half hour for the cops to show up at my door (exposing me to the hood) asking me what the problem was. Christ. If I am mysteriously shot in the near future, investigate the mustard color house on the north side of clifton.
I’m struggling with how to start this conversation. I’ve always had a difficult time starting a conversation. For that matter, I’ve always had a tough time maintaining a conversation. The things that interest me aren’t generally popular fare and I am pretty judgmental. I tend to peg people rather immediately and then move on before they have a chance to change my mind. Also, I like to manipulate a conversation so that it revolves around my anecdotes. Who doesn’t?
That said, I want to talk about my behavior on the internet and how it almost exactly mirror my behavior in the offline world. This realization came to me today when I was forwarded a youtube video of some white people getting what they deserved at a Denny’s.
As usual the comments are typically racist and or ignorant on any youtube video that doesn’t involve a kitten. As I went through the comments, against my better judgement, I realized that this is the reason I don’t use youtube as a social platform. The userbase is too broad and I fall in the minority of educated liberals (or whatever). Then I started thinking about the sites I frequent and they are either curated by editors or by the communiity in…
Oh fuck it. I dont care.I just got bored with my own observation.
I’m sick of reading the diatribes from either side frankly. So much so that I don’t want to write a diatribe about how frustrated I am about it. Here on out, each post is going to be some fucking fictional extravaganza that gets all honey badger on your ass.

Just kidding, I made that up. But it’s probably true.
