Safe

Just when you feel like the world around you is safe, BAM, it hits you. You aren't. I'm probably being dramatic, but I would like to think that I live in a relatively safe area. I do live in a relatively safe area. My house is my home. But when I came home last night and there a man hunt going on in my front yard, I didn't really feel it. Like the cops didn't stop me from going into my home or let me know what was going on. I thought they were just there for the regular check of the neighborhood they usually do every so often. Then I looked out the window and there was spotlight scanning the woods in front of my house. Then the helicopters came, then more cops. So of course I'm freaking out. I'm running around the house making sure all the doors are locked, and by this time I'm hearing noises and I'm convinced that he's running around the house trying to figure out how to get in. I'm throwing things into my bag and packing the car and leaving. And all the while I'm hearing things. I'm sure they were just a figment of my imagination, but I'm used to the noises my house makes. And those weren't it. I'm convinced that when I open my garage door, he'll be there behind me all serial killer like just waiting to pounce. By this time, I'm shaking. Then I'm driving away from the chaos and the jokes start to come to me. I'm imagining people asking me why I want to go into the field of catching fugitive's and dealing with bad guys everyday. And the answer comes to me as quickly as the question. There's a big difference between an armed Mary and an unarmed one. So after I get the hostage situations out of my head while I'm running around getting my stuff, I go into attack mode. I'm imagining him coming after me and me hitting in square in the face with my computer then pinning him down and calling the police saying, "I think you lost something". But of course none of this happened. I ran away, scared, with my tail between my legs like any rational person would of done. Like I said, you feel safe, then you don't. The sad thing is, this isn't the first time something like this has happened in my neighborhood. Needless to say, I'm doing what I'm doing to prevent things like this from happening. Of course when I'm actually working the field, I'll be armed, and then you better watch out. Cause I won't be running then.

On a lighter note, my newest endeavor is starting a band. I have a piano player. I'm learning the guitar. I now know D and G. Now for the rest of the chords haha. But I'm excited. I miss singing, and I'd like to think I'm not half bad. So watch out! Todays featured song of greatness is by First Aid Kit. These ladies are amazing and this is not the first time I've featured them in my blog. They are just so good you can't get enough. Lion's Roar. Again, try and stay upright against the wind of greatest that will soon be entertaining your ears.
