One time I was jogging around ...Interesting stuff.<br /><br />One time I was jogging around and just staring at the ground in front in case there was something there that could trip me, and I heard those ghetto type yells people make in my vicinity. I immediately snapped my head up and used the direct from which the sound came from to identify the source. When I realized it was a car that I didn't recognize it, I immediately thought of two things.<br /><br />1. What do I do if somebody in the car has a gun aimed towards me.<br /><br />2. There is no cover around me to get behind if I see a gun.<br /><br />I think I thought about this for half a second or so, until I decided to approach the car, from behind, so they would have to either shoot through the window or get out or turn around outside the window, where I can see them. I think I was planning on sprinting towards the car and using their own car as the cover, then after that, not really sure what was on mind. I think I was trying to think that far but couldn't, so I dropped that line of thought and just started walking.<br /><br />I think my audio inputs cut out as well, since I can usually hear cars driving up behind me. After I approached the car and one guy stuck out his hand for some kind of high five, I relaxed completely, since I intuitively understood that gesture to be opposite what people do if they were trying to attack me. After I had taken more than 3 steps towards the car, I had already figured out that it wasn't Code black just yet, but still wasn't quite relaxed yet.<br /><br />I turned around and got surprised that there was a car in the middle of road, right behind where I was standing. Since the first car was at a stop light. My audio inputs had cut off, it seems, during that little walk.<br /><br />So being decisive is important by my eyes. Sometimes one can do the thinking while also doing the doing.<br /><br />I don't know why they gave the yell out. Could have been they saw me jogging around with my head down and thought it was something they could have fun about. Maybe they thought most people would look up and get scared. Maybe they were just playing around. I didn't ask and they never said a word. That's the strange thing. They must have seen me walking up to their car, but they didn't say a single thing. Or at least, I heard nothing from outside.Ymar Sakarnoreply@blogger.com
