Police and Thieves

Fuck. Last night was incredibly.........well, it was different.

I was walking home from Hotwire when four cruisers streaked past me, sirens blaring. Being an adventure-loving youth, I figured I'd be able to check out the action on my way home if I was lucky.

Unfotunately, the action turned out to be my home. I get halfway down my driveway and I'm stopped by a cruiser, and then prompty surrounded by officers. I'm told I can't go that way.

"Um, I live there."

"You can't go down there."

"Um, it's my house. What's going on?"

"You can't go down there. We're going to have to ask you to leave."

"Why??"

"FUCK OFF, kid!"

Basically. Night shift cops swear a lot, I've found.

So, I give up on my house, go back to the Hotwire, meet up with my friends and we drive to get beer, and then go to the park. We get pulled over four times on the way to the 7-11, and then three more times on the way to the park, one of these times we were literally surrounded by a circle of cars. Guns were drawn at one point.

Oh, and Galactus is trying to hook me up with this chick. More about that later.

NEWS

Patrick is out of commission for a while, as of 4:15 PM, Sunday August 12 following a severe injury to his lower back.

He was performing a backflip and his rotation was too fast; he overshot the landing and impaled the small of his back on a spike coming off a fence.

He wants everyone to know that sadly no, he didn't get it on camera, but it looked cool as fuck, and he'll be back on the streets soon.
