This past weekend I had two of my good friends from Mesa, Kristin and Maura, come and visit me. I know Kristin and Maura through my friend Regan, its that whole pest control connection thing. I have sprayed for Regans company for a summer and then I went out in May to spray for a month and lived half the time with Kristin and Maura and the other half of the time with our friend Steve.
Anyways, we did so much and I got to see more parts of the city that I hadn't seen yet, like SOHO and Battery Park. Central Park was absolutely stunning on Sunday, the colours are so amazing, I had no idea that it would be so jaw-dropping! We played at F.A.O Schwartz(the toy store), walked Fifth Ave., toured the Disney Store, saw the Ghostbusters fire station,
ate Juniors Cheesecake, walked the Brooklyn Bridge, rode the subways, and ate some good food aka Grays Papaya hot dogs from the movie "You've Got Mail". The girls were fun to have and they left me with an awesome gift, my very own Voldemort Wand. They have them at F.A.O. Schwartz and they are the coolest things ever, they have everyones wand and well, I liked Voldemorts the best, I am practicing my aveda kedavra spell as we speak, and for good reason, here is the story.
Sunday night we were walking home from tht 96th street subway stop. I live on 108th street, so nothing too long. We were approaching a crosswalk and and across the street there is this deli. All of a sudden two thugs (yes I will call them that) came runnin' out of the deli like a bat out of hell - we knew something was up. The store owner, or I assume it was he, came out after them with this long rod and he was yelling. I quickly grabbed the girls arms and we B-lined it across to the other side of Broadway. My adrenalin was pumpin cause this was some serious stuff going down. The owner went back inside and we could see the two thugs comin' back for round 2. One of them quickly ran inside, tipped a whole bunch of stuff over and then came back out, followed by the deli owner who was weilding an AXE! Ya, the rod that we thought he was using, it was an axe. Dang Gina!!!
The thing is the thug was taunting him, ah hello, are you retarted, but then I figured he must have a gun or something to back him up, I was ready for an drive by or something. The deli owner's friend was holding the deli owner back, and good thing, cause he was ready to shredd it! The two thugs finally ran off and we decided we had worn out our welcome across the street. The ironic thing about all of this, not more than 15 seconds earlier had I told the girls how much I loved my neighbour'hood'.
