and so it begins

Hey. So, I know very few people are reading my blog these days (if ever, really). But. I have been thinking. What would it be like to blog every day for the rest of the year? I don't even think I can pull it off. But it'll get me on my blog more if I challenge myself.

What am I even going to write? I'll for sure get bored of myself. I mean, there is a lot going on w/ me at any given time. But do I really want to be that open to the whole blogosphere? who even cares.

Today I'll talk about this crazy thing I saw on Sunday at the edgewood shopping district... I was there to hit petco, wachovia, bed bath beyond, and kroger, in that order. Prob got there around 3:45 - 4 or so prob. got cat food. got cash. struggleboxed on the trash can purchase at bbb but finally picked one. stupidly decided to drive from petco to kroger b/c it seemed too far. As I was pulling into the easternmost entrance of the kroger lot, about 4:30 - 4:45, i was on the phone and mentioned, "That's weird, sounds like fireworks." Coming from behind me (north). People were sort of looking around like something was going on. And people were driving weirdly as well. I pulled up one of the aisles at the kroger lot, and there was a car parked next to one of the little grassy areas at the north end before the main street. next to it was a guy laying on the grass. and a girl on her iphone crying, making a call. and some other woman who looked like she'd stopped to help. I thought maybe that guy got hit by a car or something, like the car that was parked there. I was sitting at the exit of that part of the lot, where it intersects w/ the main street... getting ready to cross over to the other side of the lot and claim a spot. but i see this yellow penske moving truck come out from the other side, head towards the exit of the shopping center. There were cars ahead of it... in both lanes exiting the complex, and they were all stopped. The truck swerves around the last car in the left lane, crushing the back end on the driver's side, shattering the back window, and I think ramming that car into the car in front of it. Then the truck proceeded to drive in the opposing traffic lane around all the cars leaving the complex, and pulled out of the complex onto moreland. didn't really see which way it turned b/c I was looking at the car that got crushed. I was talking to Tiana on the phone and she was like, what happened? Did someone just hit you? That was super loud. I assured her that no one hit me, but explained to her everything that I just saw. She said, You need to get the fuck out of there. Leave and get groceries at ghetto kroger by my house or something. I decided leaving was the best idea. I considered turning around to go back and be a witness, but there were a ton of people there, and I felt super uncomfortable. So I went to the dekalb farmer's market instead.

Later that night, I got a text from Deb that she heard on the news there was a shootout involving a penske truck at edgewood, so I looked up this ajc story. crazy... scary. I was at the wachovia prob less than 45 mins before.
