I was getting ready to leave the house one night last week. I looked out the peep hole before opening the door and saw a police car parked on the corner. An officer got out and began questioning a couple guys that were standing there. I don't know how long they had been there, or what they had been up to.
After speaking with them, the officer went back to his car. The guys were saying something to him, but I couldn't make out their conversation. The officer turned towards them and said something about a dog. The guys quieted down immediately. He then turned his spotlight on them and this totally blinded my view. I could only see rough shapes and hear muted voices, so I really don't know what happened next. I do know that he had them set on the edge of my front porch while they were being detained. I don't know if he let the dog out either.
I almost went out to have a better look, but changed my mind for two reasons. In this neighborhood, the dealers not only shoot at each other, but at the police as well. Many people here are verbally abusive towards the officers when they're trying to do their job. It looked like the officer was handling things well, so I decided it was best to stay inside and not distract him.
Oh, as for the second reason that I didn't go outside
I was just wondering... I thought someone out there was taking offense somehow already. It's probably a good idea then.

ReplyDeleteYour blog can't be ANY more "offensive" than mine, trust me.
Just try to find creative ways to tell people they can go to hell in such manner that they'll enjoy the ride.
And if they don't like it...f$ck them!
(woof!)

(you have FIVE readers? That's about 2 more than I have after a whole YEAR...I'm impressed)
j/k
Well, I only had five on the first day, and that was because Jeff and Fozy mentioned me on their blogs. I'm down to two or three now. But that's OK, because I've got a story to tell - even if no one is listening.
ReplyDeleteI tried a letter to the editor once, but they trimmed it down so much that I ended up sounding like a ranting fool. That really pissed me off because I was trying for the raving lunatic style.
Maybe that extra click on the adult content thing is too much work and is keeing everyone away.
Mike, I erased that comment above because I accidently called you Steve. I remembered your last name, and I think I got it mixed up then with a TV show called the Steve Harvey show. Anyway, now everyone knows the real reason I go by screen names!
Phil,
ReplyDeleteI would get rid of the extra screen. Any roadblocks you put in people's way will just cause that many more people not to hear your story.
It takes some time for people to start reading - just be patient...
Thanks for sharing your blog and I'm sure there are many many more stories to come. I look forward to reading all about it.
ReplyDeleteI found your google warning intriguing, in fact it drew me in. Your voice should be heard with no google screen disclaimer necessary.
I found you through Bobby.... am I one of his three? LOL! I *love* reading those who don't "sugar coat" reality. One should ALWAYS tell it like it is.... I for one respect that. Some say things only in their living rooms, others aren't afraid to tell the world! I look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteWelcome aboard!
OK, I'm going to remove the disclaimer. But if my Aunt reads this blog and kicks my ass for talking dirty, I'm blaming all of you!
ReplyDeleteYes, you got my name right. I'm already logged in as fairplaybeach so its quicker to use that but the names plain as day on the blog from the log in name link.
