About Me

Cruising on a fall night down an abandoned major vein of Baltimore city, glances in the visor down turned for just such affirmations, and nothing but a row of parked cars on the street. Suddenly there is something directly in my path, but I donâ€™t have time to relay the details to my brain. Slamming a hard left, now I have time to notice the haggard long hair, loose fitting clothes of a young girl, screaming still, and closing quickly with the now right-side of my car. Impulsively, I jerk right, imitating the movie, handsome older guy, vexing automobile contortions. Effectively circling this strung-out girl, my car stops, and my heart starts back, and now I can breath, and I can turn off my windshield wipers, which I inadvertently switched to maximum speed in the process of my maneuver. However, flashing in my face, displayed by the back and forth wiping, I see a piece of partly washed out paper. A week old parking ticket! Could I have gotten out of paying this ticket under the indices that I hit the girl. No, and Iâ€™m a bad person for thinking this, but in comparison to god, Iâ€™ve still got about a billion better qualities.
