Laughing at my self as I very “ghetto-ly” drive down coldspring with ipod speakers unsafely blasting through my ears. Well it all started Monday night. For a plethora of reasons, that day was not nearly one of the best days I’ve had. After putting it off for weeks, I finally decided to go across the street and do laundry. No big deal right? Well as I was walking around my building, a black cat was standing in the mud drinking out of the puddle. Normally I am not too shaken up by superstitious thoughts, but for some reason that cat scared the hell out of me. I just got a really weird feeling and he just stood there and stared at me until I threw something at him and shooed him away. I was so frightened that I stopped and said a quick prayer. Now my mother warned me plenty of times not to park on the street. And besides her warnings I’ve also had many experiences that should have prevented me from parking there. i.e. creepy guy lurking in the corner, window getting busted by a rock, same window getting busted by a rock again (I caught those kids), and car getting side swipped by some dumb ass driver. Yet and still, my stubborn self still decided to park there. Man did I learn my lesson. Fast forward to tuesday morning at about 6.15 am, walking outside, still dark, opened my car door to the realization that my light didnt turn on. First thought was damn my battery must be dead! Then with further inquiries I came to the discovery of papers everywhere in my car. it looked like a hurricane went wild in there. needless to say someone had picked my lock and stole my ipod deck, cd player, gps, and best of all my light! yea thats right my light! now these crooks were definitely some complete novices on the whole car theft business because for one, instead of busting my light, all the had to do was simply turn it off. 2: instead of simply taking out my cd player they busted my whole dash board. 3: they accidently dropped their tyrese cd on my seat!!!! 4: i had bank stubs and account info and they didnt bother to take that. And 5: Hondas are the easiest cars to hotwire. Now Im not saying I wanted them to steal my entire car, but damn, if your gonna do it than do it right. The most disturbing thing was that I had my portfolio in im car and thank God they didnt take that, but I did see that they looked all through it and the novice criminals probably were thinking damn shes hot while they were robbing me blind. sigh Although I was clearly shocked, I wasnt as upset as most people would be. I mean hey I got a free couple hours off of work. i think another reason for my calmness was due to the thought of very soon having a new car. Pure anger did not hit me until now, when I get into my car and reach for the radio, just to remember I have no radio. 
A couple of weeks ago this 20 yr old UMBC student found that someone was breaking into his garage. When he came out to check it out, he saw that it was some 50 yr old man and it just so happened that this same 20 yr old student had some type of samurai sword and knew how to use it very well. So I guess some tussle occured and the end result was him chopping off the old burgular’s hand, which resulted in him dying from loss of blood. The officials had the nerve to put him in jail!!!! I bring that up to say I dont think the 20 yr old deserved to go to jail. If I had a samurai sword and I just so happened to see someone breaking into my car last week, lets just say the result would have been similar to the umbc student. Because of this incident, it really dawned on me that I need to get some serious type of protection. (the legal way of course 
) Who knows what crazy stunts niggas, and yes I mean niggas will try next. All I have to say is “I wish a nigga would” rob me after next week. I feel that people have the right to protect theirselves, family and property. its one things to steal from a billion dollar corporation, but to take from another hardworking brotha or sista just because you feel like it??? dont understand that way of thinking at all. Im grateful for my now rightfully named “scraper”, but looking forward even more than before to my new car. To this day, as weird as it sounds I know that cat was a sign. But next time I will pay more attention, especially because premonitions/signs are nothing new to me and my family…..
love it. hate it. respect it.
