good morning

Def one of the most interesting commutes of my life this morning. I had just turned my bike onto Courtland when I heard police sirens coming from behind me. I then noticed that several cop cars were coming towards me on Courtland [keep in mind that this is a one way road]. I pulled over to the right side of the road to avoid getting hit + heard a loud crash behind me. I turned to see a white sedan rolling across the street w/o a driver in it + several cop cars right on it's tail. All of the cops jumped out of their car + started running towards Django. By this time two cop cars that were coming the wrong way on Courtland had screeched to a stop a few feet in front of me + had also joined the foot race. Some dude had apparently been getting chased by the cops, gotten rammed by a cop car right behind me, jumped out of his moving vehicle + made a run for it.

I saw the guy cut through a parking lot + begin to run up the back stairs of Django w/ several cops behind him when a few of them pulled their guns + demanded that he put his hands up...after which he made what was most likely his first good decision in the past few hours. Anyway - all of this happened w/n a 50-100 ft range of me + my bike during my usual morning commute: pretty crazy.

The holidays were nice: This was def the weirdest/worst Christmas ever but still good times. Nanny's was different since it's hit the point where it seems like it's time for each 'family' to go their separate way now + w/ all the new little kids and the 20-somethings growing apart. I'm looking forward to having the Fuller Christmas in Charlotte next year. I do love getting more from Mom + Robert than any kid over 14 should - it's pretty awesome how much they've done + continue to do for us. I got to spend a few days w/ Brooke before taking her to the airport on Christmas eve - that was def the best part of the holidays by far. Dad and I got out and played some golf w/ DJ Sparkles as our personal caddy on an unbelievably beautiful day for late December [or April for that matter]. It wasn't hard to tell that it'd been months since I last touched a club. Grandma Salter's was different this year too; mainly b/c Mom + Robert left for Houston on th...

too much sex [too little jesus]

What an awesome title for a rock song. Man, I love dbt. They've got it all. It's just dirty, rowdy, heartfelt southern rock. Anyway... Mondays are weird. I always feel like a slacker b/c everyone else is at work and I'm not, even though I work Saturdays and I went into the shop for a few hours today and did some freelance stuff. I guess it's just me. Such beautiful weather, it seems like the weather's been pretty much awesome for the past month or so. Pretty good weekend. Friday night we checked out Front Page News in midtown. It was pretty cool, I just miss the good ol' days when everyone else would get a little crazy, seems like they're all so chill now. I guess that's how it is when you get in a relationship though, so that's good for them. I guess I feel like having a girlfriend doesn't really change the way I act that much, but maybe it does. I'll work on them though, now that even more of us are in the city. Saturday was an ...
