Friday.

[oddfish]

Yesterday (friday) was about the most fucked up day ever.

This is why i both hate and love coming back to fucking Ohio:

Okay, so, i wake up at about 7am and i skip breakfast and get to work sanding and buffing my dad's old '68 firebird. He just shot the clearcote about four weeks ago, so yesterday was about the perfect time to start the sand/buff process (so the car is nice and fucking shiney.. yay)

anyways, i get started and at SEVEN IN THE MORNING, my friend Anthony, a short stalky youngstown ****, whom i havn't seen in over a year, comes walking up the driveway to my house. he's got on basketball shorts and these adidas sport sandals and socks and a sleeveless shirt and he's carrying a fucking football and he asks if i want to go play with him and a bunch of people i havn't seen in ages. So, i changed and grabbed my cleats and we were off to Niles practice field to play.

We get there and a shitload of guys i havn't seen in AGES are all there, but the fucking Niles football team is practicing. So, we left there and go to some old practice field and we start playing and as we're playing (its about 8am) this car rolls by and some guy shouts out the window, "get off the field you fucking ***, **** *******"

these are youngstown italians. they got pissed. so we, of course, decided to hop in our cars and chase after the guy. So, we go chasing after him and he goes about ninety in a 30 and a cop picks him up. Holliday weekend, there's cops everywhere. So, we drive real slowly past the asshole's car and the cop is writing him the ticket. yippee, right? last we'll see of that asshole, right? he got his, right?

we go back, play a few games, it's about 1 in the afternoon and its fucking blazing so we all grab lunch and leave. I get home, shower, get a phone call. It's a girl from back in highschool who i havn't seen in a year but who i used to really like... a lot. If i ever stopped fucking every girl i find attractive for ANYone it'd be her.

so, she calls, we talk for almost two hours and then she asks if we could see each other tonight. Well, i'm supposed to be seeing Lindsay, but, i can blow her off for Christina, right? Of course.. 'Stines is worth it. I've known this girl since we were little. She was always hot. I had a crush on her back when we were in like, sixth grade but she talked to all these douche bags. anyways. moving on.

So, i call Linds and make up some bullshit and she accepts it right off like i knew she would (yeah i'm a big prick sue me kthx).............

So, anyways, that afternoon i finished my dad's car. got paid. ran some errands and i see that asshole's car by the Perkins Restaurant near where i live. The guy who screamed that stupid shit out his window? Yeah.. that guy.

So, i drive by the car and get it burned into my head so i can remind Anthony what the car looks like and what not. I'm no part italian, but i've been around 'em so much that i hold a grudge like one. (Youngstown born and raised)

Anyways, i figure, last i'll see of that guy for a while, blah blah blah. I go home, shower, call 'Stines and i go pick her up. We go to a dance club in Austintown, we dance. We talk about all sorts of shit. We laugh and smile and have the occasional physical encounter (beyond just dancing, which we were getting way to into...)
It's clear what we both want. We want each other.. bad.. Sooooooooooo, we leave. We're driving and talking and i realize how much i miss this girl.

I used to play football with this girl when we were a lot younger. She wasn't exactly a tomboy cuz no one as hot as her could be called that. Oh, if you want a description, she looks kinda like Kate Beckinsale, only a little taller and with a thinner face. Anyways. So, we're talking about all sorts of "back in the day" shit, right? and then i get a phone call. It's Anthony's friend Nick. Nick wants me to zip out to Boardman because Anthony and this guy are gonna have a run in and it appears that this guy has friends. WHAT THE FUCK!!???!?!

First, how'd the guy end up in boardm--oh fuck it, i'm not even gonna ask, so i just zip out there. Christina's still with me. She didn't want to leave me. I asked her at least a dozen times. I felt bad dragging her into this but Ant needed my help and between him and Jay (the kid who's in Kuwait) those two are my brothers, so, here i am, in boardman, outside the mall, parking my car near a group of guys who are all having some fucking shouting contest. Where are the cops? WHERE are the cops?? Busy harrassing people coming in from out of town to visit relatives for the 4th. NO cops around. None. All out giving speeding tickets. Wtf... So these assholes are about to fight without a single fucking cop around to stop it. It's like a fucking page out of the script for West Side Story. I'm waiting for everyone to start snapping their fingers.

So, here i am, Standing next to Anthony, who's RIGHT in "asshole's" face (asshole is speeding ticket guy from this very morning) Anyways, they're swearing and screaming and saying shit to each other. And, christina's sitting in my car with the door open watching the whole thing. She's not the only girl there, but still.

Anyways, there's yelling and swearing and finally one of the asshole's friends sucker punches Nick's little brother Vince in the side of the head. That's when things blew up.

It was really just kind of a scuffle. Punches thrown, ethnic slurs spewed. I got a nice shot on Asshole. Overhand right. Beautiful. Then sirens so we got all adrena-frantic and ran for our cars and sped the fuck out of there. Christina is dabbing at the cut on my fist with napkins that were in my car from Wendy's. (my lunch after football that morning)

She's doing this and i can't help but notice how beautiful she is. So, we get to the traffic light right before we go over the bipass to get on rt. 82 to get back to my house and i ask her if she wants to stay with me or to go home. She's about to answer when anthony calls.

He tells me that Vince got picked up by a cop and that he was gonna go to the station and meet him there so they could get him out. I guess Anthony "knows some people." God bless North Eastern Ohio..

I ask if he needs my help. He says no. He says everything's cool.

So, i look at Christina and she says: "can you take me home?"

I was confused as fuck at this point. but, i let it gol. maybe it was because of the whole fight thing..

So, i get her home and pull into her driveway, and she looks at me and asks if i'm coming in or not. Confusion. So, i say "yes" of course.. So, we go in her house. it's empty. The deal is she has the house to herself now because it was her Great Aunt's house, her great Aunt died and left it to Christina's older brother, who's 29. He and Christina live there. She commutes to YSU, blah blah blah. Anyways, needless to say, no one home. So, we end up sleeping together. Kind of. She fell asleep after.

At around 5:30 am the next morning i decided to leave. Because something didn't feel right. Anthony had called me at 2am to tell me that Vince and everyone was cool but that they hadn't heard from Anthony's other friend who'd pretyt much booked after the cops came. No one was that worried. We all figured he went home or something.

So, 5:30.. i left. I got dressed, kissed christina on the head, and left. It was pretty foggy. Weird morning.

I get home and i havn't slept since. I mowed the lawn today. Christina hasn't called me all day. It's now past midnight.

What a day yesterday was.. fucked up.... i love Ohio...

it wasn't my very mediteranian friends who were the problem. it was this white trash asshole in his "pimp-shit" cavalier.. All these white-trash assholes do stuff like this because they all have small dicks and can't prove themselves any other way than to try to start fights with people they don't even know. It's such bullshit. People can be pretty ridiculous.

the only reason i involved myself was because they're my friends. and anthony's like my brother, so.. i dunno. i was obligated. people around here are so up tight and high strung and ignorant because of how fucked up the area is... *sigh*
