Crazy Shit

crazy shit, simplest words i can use to describe what i saw on the streets few hours ago
i was on my way home from a friends house around 1:30 AM
me and bunch of close friends were at one of our friend's house because my friend wanted to play Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater in 1 sitting (i will talk about Metal Gear in the next post)

well it was getting late and we all decided, it was time to go home

since most of us live in the same area, we take the same route
one street we take is Halliburton Rd
its a 4 lane (2 per one direction) street in the residential area
the street goes over a hill and connects to the major street
it is lot quicker than going around so me and my friends like to use Halliburton Rd
but Halliburton is kind of dangerous at night because there only few street lamps lights up the street

anyways my friend Andy, was way ahead and out of my sight and i was coming down the hill
at nearly 50 mph (legal speed limit is 45, but its downhill) when i caught a quick glimpse of what it looked like a figure standing in the middle of the street at the foot of the hill
at first i was thinking it was some kind of an animal and did not think about slowing down
but something bothered me and just to make sure, i turned on the high beam and saw that there was two people, a male and female, walking in the middle of the street towards me
then i saw Andy's car's brake lights go on and suddenly and quickly changing lanes and later making a U-turn and pulling over on the other side of the road
i also swerved out of the lane i was in and dodged the crazy people on the street

the male was white and shirt less with jeans
the female looked hispanic with a blouse and short skirts (did not get a good look at her)
the male looked angry and was cussing at me and the girl next to him
he was walking towards me and i was driving towards him
the girl was pulling on his arms screaming "Stop! Stop! Please Stop! Lets go home!" and the guy looked drunk

dont call me crazy but i had an urge to run over this guy
he was just crazy, when i got close enough, he was running towards me and when i passed him he was trying to either kick, punch, or throw something at my car
at the first glance i knew he wanted to damage my car
i said to myself, "This mother fucker wants to play chicken, well, lets do it, i have nothing to loose"
here in California, even if i ran over him accidentally he would be at fault for J-walking and behaving recklessly in public under the influence and causing safety hazard
well obviously i didnt run over him, i am not that crazy, i dodged him and passed by, for all i know, he could be carrying a gun
he was reaching into his packet when i passed by him

on AIM few about an hour later, Andy and i talked about this incident
he said he also had the urge to not stop because he gave off bad vibe and such
Andy also said, he pulled over and called the cops
coincidentally i hear sirens pass by when i parked my car at home, my house was very close to the place where this incident took place
Andy said he waited few minutes for the cops and left because his car was modded and he did not want the cops to accuse him of illegally modding his car
Andy also said while he waited for the cops, the crazy guy either kicked or tried to kick the cars that passed by, he did not see me because he was making a U-turn
Andy made a U-turn because right when he passed by the crazy guy, he said he heard a girl scream and thought he hit her and decided to pull over and help or something
but end up calling the cops

we decided to wait till later in the day to talk about it
because we are gonna have lunch with others and we are gonna tell the others about this crazy incident

the world is a crazy place, full of crazy people, doing crazy shit
