I was in a great fucking mood. And that seemed to
collapse upon itself. Instead of coffee I am now
drinking beer.
I went for another walk today. This time down to
Willow Coffee House. Its my
favorite coffee house in Cleveland. Its just
over a mile away, an easy walk. It also helped
that is a gorgeous day outside. Sunny, about 50
degrees outside. I took my sweater off and was
walking in just jeans and t-shirt, cause it felt
so nice.
I got to Willow and before I ordered I asked if they
took credit (or debit really) but he said cash only,
which I quasi remembered from being there before. I
walked across the street to the bank and tried the
atm there. It was out of cash so I tried the atm next
door, which also failed to give me any cash. I was
standing on the sidewalk using my phone to find the
next nearest bank and saw three black (african
american, sorry) men walking down the street. As they
pass me one of them puts three fingers on my pants
and tries to get in my front pants pocket.
When I turn around to face them they are already a
few steps away, but the one who tried to get in my
pocket turns around, puts his arms and say "What,
what, what are you going to do about" and starts
walking towards me. Now I'm not violent, nor am I
really confrontational, and all of them were bigger
than me, not by a lot, but enough. So I called him an
asshole and told him to never fucking touch me again.
His friend comes up behind him and says they "oughta
beat the shit out of me." And I told them to go ahead
and try. The one who reached for my pocket said
something about taking a swing at me, to which I
called them all assholes and again said go ahead. At
this point they are only a few feet away from me, the
third guy is kind of far back and really isn't saying
anything.
They then turned away and started walking away saying
how lucky I was. I again called them all fucking
assholes and told them to stay the fuck away from me.
The first guys turned around and asked what I said,
and I said "you heard me, you're all assholes." I
stood and watched the walk away. So I walked back to
my apartment. And as more time passes it still pisses
me off. Its been about an hour or so and man it irks
me. Fuck those guys.
Like I said. I'm not violent, I'm not even that
confrontational. It takes a lot to get me upset,
annoyed or pissed off. But this, this really really
got to me. Hell I was in a great fucking mood. And
now I'm not. Instead of coffee at Willow's I'm in my
apartment having a beer. It's got me fired up and
pissed off at the same time. So I'm going to sit on
the couch, and read, and have a beer, and try to calm
down a little.
