Night Ruined

When you’re in a situation, you can complain about it, feel sorry for yourself, you can do a lot if things, but how are you goanna make the situation better? – Tony Dungy August 28th started out like any other day. I woke up, went to class, and then went to work. While at work I made a call to a friend to ask him “where’s the scene at?” he tells me “latter tonight off Bellaire and Addicks- Clodine” I asked him how much to get in he said “$5 but don’t worry about it I got you.” I said ok and spent the rest of the night waiting to go to this party unaware of the events that would take place that night. I returned home at about 5 pm to find my roommate on the couch watching TV we had a brief conversation about him going home for the weekend. He left around 6 pm. After he left I spent the next 3 hours trying on clothes (which in hindsight is embarrassing to admit) looking for that perfect look. I eventually settled on the clothes I wanted to wear and was out the door. I got into my car a 2010 Chevrolet Impala, turned the car on , then sat there for a few minutes debating on whether or not to get cash.

I check myself. I’m cut up and a little bruised but overall I was ok. I look back he was still in his car and it was leaking gas, so I run back to his car and pull him out. I asked him if he was ok he didn’t answer. I couldn’t tell if he was drunk concussed or both. The police arrived on scene within minutes. I proceeded to flash my badge. The officer said “who are you with” I said “DOJ” he said “ok tell me what happened.” I told him my side of the story; he tells me that the other guy is at fault and to go talk to EMS. EMS recommends I go to the emergency room, so I did. The doctor gave me pain killers and so Neosporin for the cuts on my arms. Those cuts would heal and become

    Have you ever stopped caring so much that whatever happens, happens? I remember the time I had gotten in trouble by my mom because I had walked home from school. It was a gloomy day from it being so cloudy and cold. I was talked into walking home during school by friends whom, at the time didn't care about school as much as I did, cared nothing of school. I didn’t like it, but then again I started not to care either.…

    4. The officer's testimony is flawed. One of the more common defenses is challenging the observations of the officer that led to the arrest.

    Advertisements can be found all over the city no matter where you look. They can be presented by television commercials, print ads on billboards, Internet websites, and even the radio.

    Alternative: No one talk about what happened at the party. Stakeholder: Ourselves. If we go forward with no one saying anything about what happened at the party, the only values and principles we would be upholding is our loyalty to Simon.

Half asleep, I turned off my alarm and proceeded to get dressed and pack my clothes and toiletries.

    The Setback I Never Saw Coming Sunday, September 3rd, 2017, 5:43 p.m. I was hanging out with a friend when my best friend texted me saying he received naked pictures of me via social media. How on earth could a guy thousands of miles away from me in a different country have inappropriate photos of me when I don't even like to stare at my body, let alone have the courage to take pictures of it in the nude? It's funny because Kwajalein, my home for over fourteen years, just started utilizing wireless internet the April of 2014, and it was through wireless internet how I was notified that "my nudes" had ended up in the state of Washington.…
