Days 1 - 7: Always Watch Your Back!
I've moved into Hathian and officially became a citizen. I have picked up a part time job at the 24 Hour Pawn Shop. I got my video equipment working and even posted this video on Twitter as an introduction -- http://youtu.be/yngUdy1fQ8E.

I made the mistake of getting too comfortable with my new city. Last night I was walking down Hathian towards The Daily Grind from the Gein Burger. I stopped in the median on Hathian and Berthier and was looking at the other citizens and seeing if anything exciting was happening. Not watching my back -- idiot! Not realizing that I was about to be the excitement of the moment.

I was scanning in front of me. I don't even remember hearing a car coming from behind me before I felt a huge metallic object sideswipe me on my left side and push me out their way, sent me sideways, landed on my right side. I shake my head and assess my legs. Still feel them -- good. Hurt like a bitch though!

I was totally shocked that a car had hit me but I realized it was stupid to stand in the median. Then I realized the little black sporty car hasn't finished it's crazy ride. I watched it run into a building across the street near more people. I wondered if this guy is drunk or what. Then I saw him back the car off the wall and start turning back towards where I am. Still dazed from the first swipe I got my ass in gear and started running towards the building behind where I had been standing. The car swiped me again on the right side. This time with less speed and I was ready. I rolled off the side landing in a low squat even though I still fell back on my ass.

I didn't know what the fuck just happened! Didn't want to admit how stupid I had been for standing in the middle of the street like I was at Disney World or something. I checked my legs and I had rips in my new damn pants -- bastards!!! But all in all I got out of it with one big bruise and scrape on the side and back of my left thigh from the initial contact, and a few medium sized bruises on the side of my right thigh, and a sore ass. Felt like I had just been ass fucked, which I had. Always watch your back, Bitch! But I thought I could walk so nothing was broke but my leg muscles felt like I had done a million squats.

I looked around and around to see if I could see the little black car. No where in sight. It went back the way it came. Damn, damn, damn!!! What an idiot. I didn't even have my video camera rolling. God!

I decided to maybe let the docs look at me. I slowly make my waddle to the hospital. But I see it's full of cops getting patched up. Too busy I think. Really I just wanted an excuse not to go in. I hate hospitals. I can take care of myself just fine. So I hobble a round to the cop station to maybe at least put in a report but quickly see there's no one there to take my statement. Fuck it! I hate talking to the cops more than seeing docs. So screw it. I don't want to seem like the newcomer idiot that I am. Oh well. I try to look at it like a learning experience. ALWAYS WATCH YOUR BACK, BITCH! And you have to watch your back because the authorities around this place don't even have their shit straight.

I'm glad I'm a big bitch. Some of those skinny bitches or God forbid one of the kids wold have been killed for sure. It was like he was targeting us. I don't think it was personal against me. I think I was an easy target. But I'm making personal against them!

I'm looking for you little black car!

Until then -- rest, fluids, epsom salt baths, painkillers, muscle relaxers (I have my sources), and as much protein as I can put my hands on. Can't wait to get to the gym. Fucking work some of this frustration out!
