Of ATM's, Crack-Heads, Stolen Credit Cards and Pellet Guns

News from the Ghetto,....

There is an ATM about fifty yards from my tent. This ATM is the busiest that I have ever seen. Between the hours of midnight and four A.M. there are cars coming and going all hours of the night. The people of the ATM come from the crack neighborhood to the North. When they get their money they turn around and go back to the crack house. I have watched many people stand for long periods of time trying to get money from a stolen card. They stand there punching in numbers for twenty to thirty minutes. I figured the machine would pull the card in and keep it but it doesn't seem to. They just keep trying.....

    Last night we tried to pay Baby Doll a dollar to run from light poll to light poll and let us shoot pellets at her. She would have made quite a bit of money if she could have made several trips. The poles are quite a distance and it's a pump pellet gun so there isn't any way we could have gotten more than one shot per dollar. We said she could go and get long sleeves but she still refused. We were let down to say the least. We had waited all day in the hopes of being able to shoot crack-heads. ....

    We tried to pacify our desire by shooting a pop can to no avail. We tried to shoot distant stop signs but the guy that was with my security guard and I said it with the only words that could truly explain our need. He said "Sign's don't scream when you hit them." Well my guard and I felt his pain, for we too wanted to hear the screams of crack-heads in the night, screams that we had earned with a well aimed shot. We kept shooting at the can when low and behold the ATM had a patron. We looked at each other and smiled. We waited to see if it was a regular customer or someone trying to get cash from a stolen card. The man kept typing in numbers and our smiles got bigger. My guard sighted him in and took a shot. The man jumped, turned toward us but didn't scream, we rolled with laughter anyway. He couldn't call the police because he was breaking the law. We had found our targets and we were happy. I fell asleep with a smile on my face and a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart.....

The city isn't so bad, you just have to be a little warped to enjoy it. Well my friends last night I enjoyed it. Am I warped? You decide. Just leave a comment and let me know what you think.
