Holy Hell...

Last night was quite interesting… I had called some of my friends to joke with them about all the new things I was experiencing up here in the great city of Minneapolis. Reason that I was joking was because one of the things that I am now being surrounded by that I never had before is pot smoking. Last night one of Emily’s friends who’s a 40-year-old alcoholic came over and he brought some pot and opium with him. As Emily, and her few friends sat around the living room and smoked a bowl, I just looked on and laughed inside. I came to Minneapolis for a different experience, and what I got were potheads.
But last night was even more interesting as I was introduced to something totally new, something that I have never experienced before.
Before coming up here, I heard that this was a safe neighborhood and such. Well last night, just literally a couple blocks down the road, the street was blocked off and barricaded and there were police everywhere! I knew something was up, for when I came back home at 2 am from hanging out with Ian, the roads were still barricaded, police were still everywhere, and news stations with their camera crews were standing off to the side of all this.
My home page on Internet is one of the news stations up here and so I’ve been checking it to see what was going on. This is what happened.
There was a fucking shooting last night! I’ve never been remotely near where there had been a shoot-out, and to just have it a couple blocks away from me! It’s insane! Hehe, but I kind of laugh about it. I don’t know, it doesn’t really scare me. I just think it’s slightly funny for I came up here to experience something knew, and then just after about 2 months of being here, there’s a shooting that happens just down the street. So, I’ve experienced pot smokers and a shoot-out, what’s next? A rendezvous with a drag queen?
