I was parked at a hot joint with one of my guys, sitting one car next to the other, driver's door to drover's door. It happens to be adjacent to the trouble spot that we have on Saturday nights in our area of patrol. We were waiting for the first fight of the night to break out as the patrons were exiting the place, as it is a weekly tradition for these gang infested patrons. When all of a sudden we hear the distinct sound of gunfire. I turn to look behind me, the direction it was coming from, and whizzz right past our heads a bullet flies. I put my car into drive to make some room in between our cars, so that we could get out, and take better cover, as another shot ricocheted past. I heard my partner, calling in shots fired on the radio, which is a relief, because now I know that he didn't get shot, and I didn't crush him with my car door as I pulled away from his car.
The bad guy fled on foot, and we never even saw him. He was gone before we could figure out what had happened. Which was that he had shot one guy in the middle of the street, through his wrist and thigh, and also through his penis, all shots were entrance and exit shots. (He recovered just fine I have been told) The victims partner, was running away from the gunman, right towards me and my partner and that's why the shots came our way. The shots missed us by mere feet, and one lodged in the double paned window of the hot stand, the other went through their window and into the back wall of the business. Crazy!!!
We were both lucky!! We didn't have the time to think about it as it was gong on, but in the aftermath, we realized how close we came to being shot. It was an eye opener to say the least. He was freaked out alot more than I was. maybe it is because I have more experience on the job by about 8 years, or because I have the right mindset for traumatic events. I am not sure, I just hope that he is able to process it and work his way through it without breaking down. I am sure he will be fine. I have asked him, and he told me that he was fine, That's all I can go on.
I thought that my phone would ring off the hook with people asking me how I was, after they found out about it. I was almost right. The people who knew about it first were the big bosses. I still haven't heard a word from any of them. Not a status check, nothing. It saddens, and angers me, for at least these two reasons. 1.) That after numerous requests for help closing that bar, which went on deaf ears. There was no help for us even the week after a shooting.
2.) That even though we were fine, two of their officers got shot at, and they didn't seem to care, or if they say they do, they have a funny way of showing it.
The experience for me says alot about my Mantra for life. I have posted it on many peoples blogs in their comments sections. If I didn't think it before, which I always have, I sure would now.
Life every day like it's your last!!
Or another with the same message.
I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time!!!

I have an old friend that I wrote about who was all excited to find that my cell number hadn't changed in 5 years. We have made plans to see each other and she got cold feet. It may not happen, but who knows. She says to me on the phone that she wants to see me really bad, but when the time comes she freaks, and doesn't call or show. Only time will tell!!

I was without a computer for a few days again....but at last I am happily typing from my house. The floors are finally done!! They look unbelievable! I feel like I'm in someone elses house when I see them. The clean up of all that dust was a huge job, which I hate to say is not over yet....but pretty much...thank goodness.
I have been pretty much locked up in the house cleaning for the last couple of days, but went out on Sunday. I had a blast at a birthday party. Good times were had by all there. In the door, I had 2 shots of Jameson and was pulling on the brakes....these crazy fuckers all got hammered!! I was home early for a change. In her dads house by midnight (early for me anyways)
Hope this finds all who reads it doing very well!!

I was transferred to my current position in 2002....on my first day in my new district I met a sexy little thing who was a waitress at a place we went to every night (I work midnights). She and I hit it off right away, and within weeks we were fucking on a regular basis, she was fabulous!! She and I parted ways in '03 roughly and hadn't talked since around '04.
She called me this past week and was very happy to find I hadn't changed my number. We have talked damn near every day this week, and we're talking of seeing each other.
She told me that she is 75% wanting to see me and the rest not, because she is not in the same place that she was 4 years ago etc.. I informed her that it was fine with me if we didn't see each other, but that if we continued to talk all the time, eventually we will end up seeing each other. She agreed, and we continued talking. She gave me a huge ego boost telling me that she missed me a bunch, and she can't stop thinking about the best kisser she ever met ME!!!...lol
I told her that I had a poker game last night to be at, and that maybe we could see each other when she was finished with work (around midnight or so) She so readily agreed to see me, that I chuckled to myself and told her how quickly she went from not seeing me (her better judgment) to OK yeah see you tomorrow.....lol
She was supposed to call after work, and she didn't. I know that she is apprehensive to see me, and I understand. I just don't want to clear my schedule for her and she blows me off. I really am looking forward to seeing her, and hope that her guilt factor won't be on the high end of the scale. I will let you know all about it if it ever happens!!

Someone help me out if you can. I don't know why my picture (just of my eyes) looks so big on any of my blog posts. I even tried to shrink it down on my picture program and upload it.....didn't work. Is it something in my settings??? I am hoping to make it look normal, instead of the extreme close up of the middle of my nose. Anyone who can help me out, please leave me a comment with suggestions. The alternative would be to use no picture, which I am thinking about.

I am still without a phone line for my computer. I am thankful for a slow start at work, so I can get on here and try to catch up. I am visiting some of my watched blogs and realize that some of you are pretty busy on here. Some have more than 20 new posts already in 5 or so days, of a layoff. I wish I was that inspired at times. Hope that this post finds whoever reads it doing very well and having a huge smile on your face!!!

Hello all,
Lost my phone line for my internet service in the rehab of the room where my computer is. So it's been a few days since I have checked in. I have been off for the weekend, and had a lovely one at that. Hope you all had an amazing weekend!!!

You stay up for 16 hours
He stays up for days on end.
You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
He goes days or weeks without running water.
You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.
He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.
You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.
He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.
You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.
He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his tags.
You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.
You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.
He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.
You complain about how hot it is.
He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.
You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.
He doesn't get to eat today.
Your mom makes your bed and washes your clothes.
He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.
You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
He's told he will be held over an extra 5 months.
You call your boyfriend and set a date for tonight.
He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.
You hug and kiss your boyfriend, like you do everyday.
He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.
You roll your eyes as a baby cries.
He gets a letter with pictures of his new , and wonders if they'll ever meet.
You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.
He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.
You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.
He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.
You see only what the media wants you to see.
He sees the broken bodies lying around him.
You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in danger.
You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.
You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.
He tries to sleep but gets woken by mortars and helicopters all night long.
If you support your troops, re-post this with "WE MISS YOU"
If you don't support your troops well, then don't re-post, it's not like you know the men and women that are dying to preserve your rights

I am in total agreement!! I wish that politician's had to go fight first, and see how quickly we would be in any type of conflict.

I read a blog post tonight, of a woman who said she had sexy with 8 different guys on a day (not a gangbang) I was curious to see the comments made, as she had received a few. Most of the comments were from guys saying they would love to get together with this woman.....when is she coming to a town near them.
I don't know about anyone else, and I'm not judging her.....or these guys for that matter. I am just the type that couldn't be with her, 8 guys in a day to me seems a little excessive.
I heard a comedian (I am pretty sure it was Jeff Ross) who said he was setting up a date with a porn star....she says I'm working Tuesday and Wednesday, how about we get together Thursday....he replies....I'm like, How about Monday. Too funny!!! Who wants to follow that?? Just my opinion, or rather what I would prefer.

I wanted to put this in the first post I made tonight, but it doesn't mesh with it.
I am home tonight, and am still up (as usual) at 4 am.....The reason for this usually is, because I work the midnight shift, and I am used to being up now anyways.....tonight however.....I just finished painting the 3 rooms that we needed to paint before the guy comes to finish the wall we knocked partially down, and the hardwood floor finishers come to complete the entire task we have embarked on. I think things should progress nicely now (fingers crossed)
I think we have had enough delays so far, the latest being the paint we ordered taking way longer than expected to be ready. Oh well, I am just hoping that it is all over soon!!!
Thanks for listening to me vent!!

A friend of mine on here has called me on the carpet about posting. I have to admit, I am not always inspired to write on my own blog. I try to make sure if I do, that it is something worthwhile, or maybe for me to vent. Otherwise I don't feel the need. I love to get on here and comment on others blogs as much as I can, although sometimes that is few and far between. The old saying is life happens....and you gotta make time for other things as well.
That being said, I did have a point this early Chicago morning. I notice people who are quite popular on here, and by that I mean have many who watch their blogs. Some of these people rarely reply to comments....remember I said SOME....lol
I don't understand why anyone would want to write a blog post, receive many many replies, and not interact with those that comment to them. I am not saying that it's wrong or a bad thing. Them not replying, is their prerogative. It was just something that makes me go HMMMMmmm.
