Well the end of another week is upon us. and its been an already one for me, just really what it is "another week" i ain't gonna bore y'all this time around and probably wont even be that long...i hope.
I had jury duty Monday....well i didn't have to report til Tuesday and i was basically the first one there. got in, signed in, all of that, they started playing some videos of the history of the court house and shit, then they finally called the first group of people they needed for a case which i was included in. thought i would be in for even more of a boring time til we got in the courtroom and heard what the case was about, it was just an civil case dealing with one person tryna get money outta the other person so they could pay their medical bills and shit from the accident.
The guy that was tryna get the money, his lawyer wasn't on anything, dude was boring the hell outta me and everybody else. but the other dude....who ain't speak a lick of English, his lawyer which was a young lady, she came busting out the gates ret' to go. and once they picked the panel and the case started, i swear it was like watching an live episode of perry mason. they called one of the doctors in the defendant had saw, mannnnnnnn after his lawyer got done asking him question, she pounced on him like a tiger, went in so hard, had him turning so red in the face he has to stop and ask the judge for a glass of water. hell even the judge herself was amazed by her.
I wanted to get her info just in case me or anybody else i knew got into some shit but when we were dismissed for the day, the next day one of the clerks called me and told me they had settled outta court so we ain't have to come back, in the back of my mind i was like "DAMN!" cuz i really did wanna go back for round 2. plus my homgirl was on the panel with me that i ain't seen in about a good 3 years.
But that shit was interesting to see first hand how it all actually goes down. but I'm free now for another 12 months if they decide to pull my number again.
Other than that, that was pretty much the highlight of my week. although i did wanna speak on one thing, dealing with family. its funny how you can feel like the black sheep.....when your not even doing anything but yet still feel like your being labeled when other family members are doing whole lot more worse shit than they THINK you are.
For example, my mama told me a few days ago that one of my lil cousins around the corner from me got in trouble b/c he ran from the police to his grandma house on a stolen moped. now i haven't heard much of a big deal about this, and i doubt i will at the party tomorrow night. but its just mind boggling to me that just b/c i don't have a police record for the lack of better words, that I'm in someway not as good as the rest of em.
I ain't no thug, i don't run the streets each and every day, i don't go around knocking over old ladies for they numbers money. so what the hell is the problem where they cant never be happy for me? they may seem like it but i already know I'm talked about behind my back, not that it matters to me but its funny at the same time but hey, i'll just continue to do what i do. it'll all pay off in the long run.
That's about it for now tho, guess i ran over more than i wanted to but dah well, those who do take the time out to read this i shol do appreciate it.
