I'm feeling way more nervous to go to court this Thursday, compared to how I felt 2 weeks ago at my last court date. I'm not much of a 'criminal', and I don't know much about the legal system. The little I do know actually scares the shit out of me, so as I sit and think about what's in store for me I'm kind of freaking out. There's a knot forming in my stomach. Or maybe that's just hunger. Not much in the way of food in my house nowadays. Not much in the way of money in my bank account either. And both are related to why I'm going to the Austin County Courthouse.
You see, when you're drunk as fuck, and a cop pulls your friend over, and you know you have a warrant for your arrest, something in you snaps. It's called the fight or flight mechanism. It's an instinct. You know you're fucked, so you lose it. Maybe you are physically aggressive. Or possibly you're verbally aggressive. I chose the latter, which, I believe, provoked the cop's 'your-face-meets-the-pavement' move. Can't really defent myself in cuffs. Or any of my actions in this situation. I was acting very stupid. Lame on my part.
So now i sit at my computer desk, about to put on some clothes and walk down to the store and spend my last $4 on eggs and a can of tuna. tuna salad. it's what's for breakfast/lunch/dinner. For the next 3 days.
As a result of this asshattery, i'm about to lose my internet access/cable for at least a little while. looking like about 2 weeks to a month. So, to anyone at all who reads this blog (this statement pertains to nobody I'm aware of, as i do check the shiny stat at the bottom of the page), If there are no new posts, you know why.
