thug night...pack up your eggs baby!
I updated this story.. so if you read it. Reread it. I missed some very important points.
********************************************************************************
What seemed like a normal Tuesday night .. turned out to be quite interesting. First off, I got home lastnight from work before Neil. I was working from home when Neil got home and said let's take the dogs for a walk and grab coffe and go to the grocery store.. Good Ole Zanatto's.
We got the dogs dressed and heade d out. After grabbing coffee and groceries, we start heading back home. The walk home is about 3 blocks but we pass many bars and many thugs on our route home. lastnights thug count was out of control. We were walking towards blockbuster/farenheight on San Fernando when we walk past a group of teenagers... about 10 of them. They seemed nice... One of the boys calls Rocco over. Keep in mind i have 2 dogs on leashes with one hand and I'm juggling 2 coffees in my other hand while Neil is lugging 2 HUGE bags of groceries. So the guy calls rocco over and then decided to scare the shit out of him and threaten Rocco by sorta stepping up to the poor little weiner dog and then he barks at him... REALLY REALY LOUD and with a intensely vicious voice. I was stunned. I was pissed. I was shivering and clenching my fists with anger beyond belief. if you know me and Neil, then you know WE LOVE our dogs and NO ONE messes with them. Neil, being the bigger person that he is, kept walking. I on the other hand said, "ARE YOU FU**KING SERIOUS!"? "Did you realy just do that?" The guy started laughing ... all his ghetto ass friends started laughing and every time they laughed, my anger and death wish for them grew outrageously. I wanted to take my coffee and throw it at his face.
Neil stopped, turned around and started talking shit to the punks. One thing lead to another and we walked away... trying to avoid them with the little ounce of matureness we had left... They yelled and we yelled back all the way to the end of the block and that was that.
When we got home, we were still pisesd beyond belief. I wanted to drive by and EGG the group of kids... Neil wanted to knock them out... he was pacing.. pacing .. then next thing you know he left the house and told me to stay put.. He said he was going to knock one of them out and that he'd be right back. Ok. yeah. sure...
Knowing me I went into a slight freak out mode.. waited 5 minutes, then I opened the fridge door, grabbed 3 eggs and jumped in my ride to give them payback. TO GIVE THEM HELL!
when I drove by the scene, the kids were gone and there was no sign of Neil. I was dissapointed. I looked at the eggs on my lap and thought "God I wish I got to throw these at someone!"... So I decided to drive around a bit looking for them... No sign of them anywhere.. So I decided to drive by the initial spot one more time. That's when I saw 2 officers and their cop car with their lights flashing. I called one of the cops over and I rolled down my passenger side window. I told him the story and he told me that they were taking care of the situation. Apparently those kids were in trouble for more things, not just yelling at poor dogs, which in my opinion deserves the death penalty. Anyways, right before the cop walked away he said "What are those eggs for?" I told him the truth. He laughed and told me that they'll handle it from here...
I drove home and saw that Neil was pulling into the garage at the same time. I told him the story and we were both delighted with the outcome of the case. Lil Bastards!
Later on, when my hearbeat came back down to normal levels, we started watching TV when I heard a bang.. then another bang.. I pushed mute and yelled "Gun Shots!"... Neil and I ran over to the balcony and heard about 4 or 5 more shots.. LOUD... they were especially loud because sounds echo in our courtyard. Without even thinking, I dialed 911. I quickly hung up when Neil looked at me funny. Unfortutanly, You can't call 9-1-1 and hang up because they call back. DUH. So I told the lady what happened and they sent 3 cops over to our complex. While we waited, Neil went over towards the area (near the pool) where we thought we had heard the gun shots. He heard one more during his walk there...I let the cops in and I filled them in on the details. THANK GOD it wasn't the same cop had seen me like ONE hour earlier with eggs. I mean, he would've thought I was NUTS!
I have yet to find out what those gun shot noises were from and if someone died. I looked on the Mercury News' Valley section under "Police Blotter" to see if there were any updates on either case but nothing... and by the way.. the "police blotter" section is one of my favorite sections to read in the paper. I dunno why. it just is. If you want to make this your favorite too you can.. Just go to http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/crime_courts/
Have fun...
SO now that Neil and I are in the midst of house hunting, I might have to look outside of the DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE bounds just for peace of mind...we'll see what happens.
Gotta run. Lock your doors. Hold on to your dogs tight and NEVER, EVER go anywhere without EGGS!
