Cops need to listen better...

On September 15, 2010 something happened to me, that not a lot of people can say they have done.

So I was at work (El Bakery) at 5am, not feeling well the whole day. I eventually got sick to where I couldn't stand to be there much longer. On my way home, feeling like shit, I was driving along Manchester (neighborhood will remain anon) a oh so smart and lovely angered driver decided to cut me off and slam on his brakes because the car in front of him did the same. So instead of slamming on my brakes, I darted over into the right lane because I knew it was clear (Thank You Dad for teaching me to always look in my mirrors to see what's going on around me at all times...).

Keep in mind, I'm not feeling well, all the sudden I see the one thing you hate to see while driving; red and blue flashing lights with a sirens following you. Great, I just avoided hitting a car, and I'm the one who gets pulled over. Cop proceeds to tell me I didn't use my blinker. He obviously saw the whole thing go down, he should know I didn't have time to turn my blinker on instead of hitting a car. Geeez, cops.

At this point I was really annoyed, but more or less I was feeling really nauseous, could feel my face become ghost-white. So I grabbed my door handle wanting to open my car so I could throw up. The cop put his hand on his gun because I put my hand on my door handle, and told me "not to move". I told Mr. Mean Cop Man I was going to get sick, as normal they don't give a crap, so he continued talking to me. I was overwhelmed with that not-so-fun I'm going to get sick feeling, I warned him I was going to get sick.

Out I put my head of the window to the up. The cop didn't listen, so I threw up on his shoes and the bottom of his pants. He was not happy, neither was I because I just threw up. So the speechless cop starred at me, I looked up at him with my teary pukey eyes while saying "Sir, I warned you.." The man was absolutely pissed but couldn't say anything because I did warn him and he didn't listen.

So end of the story, he told me to go home and I got out of a ticket.

Moral of the story: Listen if people warn you, and throwing up on cops is pretty hilarious.

Summer wrap- up

Even though it was a rather low-key summer, it still had many highlights. Full of many laughs with friends & family, watching talented musicians is always a favorite past time.

Live music is what keeps me going, if I don't get my fulfillment of it, I get slightly agitated. We don't need that. ..ever. Long Live Music!
