I don’t know how many blogs I’ve written about the crime in my neighborhood, but at this point, it’s too many.
So, todays edition of “what the heck is going on!?” started when I was driving home from work. I am almost home when I see the first cop, she was park with her lights on, her outside of her car 1 block from my street. Figured she was pulling someone over at first, until I saw the other lights. I start to realize these cops are parked on my corner (I live on the corner). Then I see one drive off my street, so I get worried. There were 5 parked on the grass on my yard and our back neighbors. I saw a cop walking with a german shephard, and so I was like ooookay just gonna go straight into the house.
My door was unlocked so I figure they didn’t reverse 911 anyone, but I locked it, obviously. I have no clue what they were doing, they left a few minutes ago. Couldnt have been good. It looked a lot like what they did a few blocks from here when they found that guy stabbed. No news people so I’m guessing it wasnt a big deal, it’s just getting old. Really really old.
The bright side? I am probably going to move to Avalon in July. So, good riddance to po-po parades outside my bedroom window.
Okay, on to better stuff.
Yesterday C3 had the food drop, and it was awesome. There we’re so many people that came out, and so many stories, it was heartbreaking, but it was so nice to know that these boxes we’re going to help these families out. It makes me want to do that kind of stuff everyday, one time just doesn’t cut it, I feel like there are so many more people that need help, and people just have to step up. It was hard when we had to close the gate when we ran out. So early, only 11:11 when we ran out.
I’m trying to focus more on the positive impact we had though, and not those left out. The families we did reach are getting so much out of it, and I love that. So many of them were so appreciative, it made me feel like a jerk for wanting a new car, or a new pair of shoes. I have way more than I need. I started thinknig about one of the Nooma videos, ‘Rich’, everything Rob Bell says in that video has such a large impact on me. I watch it a lot, just to keep myself in check.
After the food drop some of us went to eat at Taco Bell. I think I’ve had enough Taco Bell to last me for a few months now. That was the third time this week I had eaten thier food, it was slightly scary.
Then we went to the pool and Barry found a McDonalds bag in there.. nice.
After that I picked up kelly and helped her try to get a job. Not so sure how that’s all gonna work out. Then went to Millenia with my sister-in-law and Kelly. Saw one of my favorite people, Andrea, at Bloomingdales, and helped Alicia find some work clothes.
Finally off to the movies with some of my favorite people, namely Kelly, Karen, Chrissy, Monica, Matt, Kayleigh, Barry, Christy, John and Adam. We saw “What Happens in Vegas”, for the record, that movie is way funnier than it looks, and according to Kayleigh, I’m like the best friend in the movie (I think her name was Tipper). haha, it was kind of true. We hung out at Barry’s afterwards and watched Wild N’ Out, which is hilarious, Mikey Day all the way. Needless to say I had an awesome awesome Friday.
Now I gotta go get ready for the party at Ambers
I cant wait for Sunday morning, pretty much my favorite time of the week.
