It could have been worse. You could of got shot.





I hope you feel better soon but I’m glad you feel bad right now.

That cell phone tactic seems to be international. As I was leaving school one night a black guy and his girlfriend (sorry people, it was DC and that’s how it goes) approached me. The guy asked the same question about phoning a friend. I was in an adventurous (and stupid) mood and decided to help him call two friends; none of them answered.

Now, this was on the heals of someone else getting robbed at the same location. A good guy, but short, white, somewhat submissive, and terribly out of shape. So, yea, I basically knew what could happen. Fortunately, I was ahead of them (and a head above them) and know how to act in those situations.

Usually I would just lie and say it’s being charged at home; a long way away…but was in one of those moods where God should have taught me a little humility. Oh, and the HIV virus dies once it’s desiccated. So in less the guy would have stabbed himself first then stabbed you it would have been fine. You could have confronted him with that knowledge to distract him long enough to recover your phone. It doesn’t matter if it’s true as long as it gives you a window of opportunity.

Don’t be nice to people; be good to people.
