So I was briefly seeing this guy and damn he was fine. When I say this man was fine, I mean the boy was FINE! He was tall (about 6’4), dark, and had a smile full of pearly white teeth that could stop you in your tracks. [*Fanning Self*]
Back to the regularly scheduled program…
So, we’re back at the penthouse (my place) watching TV, exchanging a little kissy face, and I got up to fix us both a glass of wine to further set the mood. As I’m in the kitchen, I heard a series of explosions and thought to myself “someone’s bad @$$ kid is letting off some 4th of July fireworks.” But then it dawned on me that it was nowhere close to the 4th of July and that the explosions were barrage of gunshots. [FMYLIFE!!!!!!]
I headed back into the living room to check on my date and, surprisingly, he was completely calm [Thank GOD] and said to me “oh somebody’s car probably backfired.” [Ummm….Really? I ain’t neva heard of anybody’s car backfiring like that, but okay. lol]
As I was explaining to him that someone indeed got shot, we heard a loud crash and the blaring sounds of sirens quickly filled the air. We walked onto my balcony to see what was really going on and that’s when we saw the crime scene: a car full of bullet holes crashed into a pole, 6 police cars, 2 fire trucks, 1 ambulance, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Needless to say, that totally KILLED the mood and the date was OVER!
So to all of you thugs, wannabe thugs, knuckle heads and punks, take your battles out on the dancefloor….yes, the dancefloor (see Beat Street)…because not only are your antics ruining lives, they are ruining perfectly good dates!
Sincerely,
Thank God I Moved
(Note….about the shooting: Apparently some guy had beef with some other guy (the victim) who lived in my building. He waited for the victim in the parking lot and ambushed him while he was getting in his car. The victim attempted to drive off, but was shot several times in the process and crashed into a pole. The victim was in a coma for a while, but survived the attack.)
