The 'hood has gone nuts

So we had that wonderful activity to start Sunday at midnight...let me tell you the rest....

At 4:20 am sirens are coming into the complex...a couple of fire trucks and ambulances and a LOT of cop cars. Turns out someone was shot 15 times about 200 yards from my apartment and killed by the big boss of the complex.

Then Sunday night some chick is screaming at the top of her lungs for someone to help her because her guy is beating the shit out of her. I can hear them from the front of my apartment, but turned out they were in the court yard behind me.

Then Monday night some crackhead was seen at the corner store and someone had cut his neck.

Then early Thursday morning there were 5 cops cars blocking the apartments...I have no confirmation of this but it seems that someone else may have been shot.

Sooooo....that is the joy of my hood :-) I believe I will have to start calling it Beirut.

As for an update on me....I am scared to death about money. I still don't have a job, still don't seem to have any even close to lined up, retirement money isn't here yet and I have no way to make bills or have gas or eat now. Keep praying something comes through.
