mugged

I got mugged last night

Walking home these kids came up behind me and knocked me down. At least one had a pipe.
I pulled my knife and they ran off then I ran several blocks to get to a better lit street.

Just 90 seconds prior to this I turned down a cab ride because I like to walk at night, especially after I've been drinking.

It took forever to get stapled up at the hospital but thats the way it goes.

tinypliny writes at 01:30:26 06/20/10 - Comment #56922: I know I said this before but aarrrgh, I am just SO irked that someone thinks that they are entitled to beat skulls in. You should form an anti-mugging gang and throw them all in juvie for a bit.

uncutsaniflush writes at 11:03:19 06/19/10 - Comment #56912: Wow! I hope you have a quick recovery.

tinypliny writes at 08:56:03 06/19/10 - Comment #56898: did you have any money with you? did they demand money before they hit you? The security people believe that if you give them what you have, they won't attack you. But I am doubtful about this strategy...

tinypliny writes at 08:52:12 06/19/10 - Comment #56897: Good lord! I am so sorry to hear that, kook!!!! Looks like you lost a ton of blood there! :(

There have been several muggings in Rochester recently. I frequently get security notices from the UofR public safety dept. The area around the music school is getting notorious for the most violent muggings till date. If you are female, you are pretty much guaranteed to be molested. And if you are a male, they apparently hit you on the head. :/ The area around the main River campus is not much better either. Rochester always had one of the highest crime rates earlier but its now spilling to the more affluent side of the river. I was talking to an Eastman student recently, who lives near Alexander and she was totally freaked out about going out alone anywhere.

Again, I am so sorry this happened. Did you get a good look at them? Did you make a police report? I hope you heal soon. Incidents like these make me so annoyed with humanity in general. :/

PS: btw, the beard and moustache look Ã¼ber-sexy. :-)

metalpeter writes at 06:53:00 06/19/10 - Comment #56894: At Least they didn't get anything, that still sucks though. That reason is why I don't really like to go out and get fucked up. In my mind I'm sure there are people who can tell by how someone walks that they aren't 100% there. And if they can't tell that they are willing to take that chance if they see you leave an area where there are bars. I'm surprised they ran when they had a pipe. Hope you aren't hurt to bad and get better soon.

paul writes at 05:48:12 06/19/10 - Comment #56888: Here in Buffalo or in Rochester? I hope you did not come to visit here and then get mugged. This is why I want a tazer. Get well soon.

monthly post

I should at least have a monthly post. That wouldn't be so bad.

A guy I worked with a few years ago called me yesterday and sort of offered me a job that sounds interesting. In Buffalo.

Its still too early to tell whats going on but the idea of moving to Buffalo has me "shitting my load" as my Karnatakan friend would say.

Anyways, picture width test:

Hola Amigos, its been a while since I rapped at ya!

impromptu jam-off at Buffalo Thursday at/in The Square on 02June:

These guys were jamming/dancing/air-bassing at the north/house-right end of the stage.
They were pretty into it and would pose out to the part of the crowd that was yelling the loudest.

The hula girl had on uggs and/or some other brand of furry boot and it seemed to me that it was one of the nastiest displays possible.
To her tribute, a poem:
in the rainy drizzle, grimy with sweat, twirling some horrible hoop. Stank feet, thighs. Jam out with your clam out.

FOUR BONERS

I saw this band that was a bunch of music school kids.
They had Four [4] trombones and their bass was a sousaphone.
If someone had described this to me I don't think I would have been into them but it was actually awesome.
They opened with a spinal tap song and I knew it was the real deal

I danced like James Brown. I tried to buy them all drinks but the bartender wouldn't take any money and ended up giving me drinks the rest of the night until well past closing time.

It was magical

CENTRALIA

I was in Washington DC to see the Pogues this week and on the drive back home I stopped in Centralia, PA

Centralia is was a coal town in the PA mountains. One of the coal seams caught fire and has burning ever since. According to the internet, nobody really cared too much untill a kid fell in a sinkhole in his backyard and somebody threw a thermometer into the underground tanks at the gas station and it was 180+°

Anyways reading the Wikipedia article is probably better than driving to that damn place.
I didn't really see any smoke or sinkholes or zombies. Instead, there was a scheisser-lload of trash and junk. The place was a lot smaller than I expected. In fact it was less deserted than I thought: people were driving through to get to their other tiny mountain towns.

To get an idea of the size: An area bounded by Bryant, Richmond, Allen & Main Sts in buffalo
