Michelle and I were riding home on our bikes from HEB Saturday night...we pull into the neighborhood at the back and this white suburbon pulls around us and goes around the corner. Well, they pull into this driveway a couple houses down from the corner we turned from and this guy, wearing a mask, jumps out of the back and holds a gun to my chest. Walks around me, grabs my shoulder and pushes me down to the ground. I get out of the way cause the SUV started to back up and would have gone over me but I move out of the way. I hear Michelle Gifford scream and see her on the ground on the sidewalk and this guy is kicking her in the stomach. He pistol whipped her in the back of the head, which is how she ended up on the ground. I yelled, "hey come on man" and started running over there to them. This lady who came outside yelled, "Hey hey hey!" and the guy jumped into the car and they drove off. We called the police and filed a report and everything. We're both okay. Michelle's head hurts and her stomach is bruised, but otherwise fine.


It was the most crazy thing I've ever been through, and I've been through my fair share. It doesn't seem real. Even still as I replay it in my mind a few days later. What the worse thing about it is...I have training for this sort of thing. But because I was straddling the bike, I couldnt do anything because I had no leverage to move. There were a couple different times where I could have disarmed and taken care of him..and then taken care of the guy that had Michelle on the ground. It'd have been over.  

But as it is I couldn't move and they got away. Thankfully though, someone was outside and nothing more happened. Today Michelle is feeling much better. She can even walk up right.


On a lighter note, we're all moved into the new place. We've just got a few more boxes to unpack and we have to set up the bedroom like we want it. We got the living room set up tonight. I like the way we have it. It's all cozy and ambient. Very chill. I like the new place. Its peaceful out here. We can see the stars! haha. It's pretty awesome.

Tomorrow I'm gonna finish putting in the invisible fence for the dogs. I'd have finished it today had I gotten an early enough start. But oh well, it'll be done first thing in the morning...after breakfast that is. haha.

And we're FREE of my mother. She gave me the whole "don't ever speak to me again" speech today. So...I'm not gonna. I'm not living under her roof, and she doesn't know where I live now...so she can't come over for whatever reason. haha. I like this. So...if I don't answer her phone calls...IF she calls me...she can't do anything...so fuck her. If she wants to be petty (which she is as always)...I have zero obligation to take her shit. So, for really the first time in my life, I'm not going to do it.

It's always such a had thing for her to accept when it gets shoved in her face that the world...it does not revolve around her.

Isn't life difficult?
