Rest in peace Brian
When I moved out here, I hung out with this kid Brian. He was a pretty nice kid, and just wanted to party and have fun. Somewhere along the line, this charming handsome youthful kid made connections and gotten into dealing drugs. It's been about several months, with two armed robberies, and he and his roommate got guns to protect himself.
I talked to the kid yesterday, we were talking about insomnia and how each of us deals with it, and later the topic changed to how some high school kid was talking shit about him, and he called, threaten him, and beat him up. I can't believe it, Brian was a nice kid, and he turned into this sleep deprived, anxious, aggressive kid. I can't believe this all happened in several months time, and he's dead. I was thinking about telling him yesterday, dude you shouldn't do this, but I told myself he wouldn't stop, but he's stopped now.
What I don't completely understand is, I was told he was shot with his roommate's gun. I'm not sure if he was shot by Cory which I find a little hard to believe or if he was shot by that hs kid. I'm going over to his place tomorrow to help move stuff. CSI is there right now scouring the place out.
I didn't really know him, we just ran each other a lot, and chatted.
On a lighter subject, I've noticed that girls have been really frisky around here lately. It's been pretty funny I've gotten asked out a couple times, I find it cute. There was this 19 yo who's been trying to get me to hang out with her again, but that would not be a good thing in a relationship. I must admit, thinking about being apart from Kristi for five more months I have entertained the idea, but I don't want to hurt Kristi's feelings, or fudge up a relationship we've worked on for over a year.
Since Kristi's been gone, I've had more time to hang out and get to know the people around me better. I'm glad to get to know the neighborhood better.
I have thought about getting a shotgun to protect the house, because I don't feel like the police out here would respond fast enough in a dangerous situation (there's pretty decent crime and death rate out here). I've talked to Kristi about it for months, and she's opposed to it, even though I'd put Kristi in gun safety and usage classes. I don't know what to think of it now, I'm not sure if having a gun lock would be enough. It's not just the crime here that worries me about her safety, but the economy as well. If I'm to believe what I'm reading about the economic recovery which is at least a year off I think crime will rise. Maybe just moving to a safer neighborhood is a more practical solution.
