Run for it!

I wasn't going to post today but I saw this video this morning and I could.not.stop.laughing. It's footage of the earthquake that happened in CA yesterday while the Judge Judy show was taping. Now, of course, I'm not that insensitive to laugh @ the actual event. What got me is the plantiff in this video would.not.budge from the table. Not because she was scared but she seriously thought they were going to continue with her case. Ya'll....I hollered. I tried to contain myself but......just watch. You'll see what I'm talking about. lol



I will also admit that I got tickled watching everyone, except the plantiff, run out of the courtroom. Not because they were running for their lives but for the fact that all it took was one person and everyone else was out! Lol Watching it made me think back to something similar that happened to me.


Back when I was a young buck I was in Nashville visiting my best friend. We had all gone out to this club and hadn't even made it in when a fight broke out in the parking lot. So we backed on outta the way so we wouldn't get caught up in the crowd of people watching/participating/whatever. As everything settled down we started making our way back to the door when this girl screamed. It was as if some cattle had suddenly been herded because folks just broke out runnin. Well I look @ my bf and the other folks we were there with and we break out runnin too. A few moments after we started running, my other homegirl just stops, busted out laughing and asked "What is we runnin fo'?" After she caught up (cause I was still runnin), I answered her question. I ain't know but I d@mn sure wasn't about to stand around and find out. Hell those folks were NOT running all willy nilly for nothing. lol Turns out, one of the guys that had been fighting earlier had said he was going to get his gun. That was reason enough for us to take our tails back to her apartment and call it a night.

I almost cried when I saw that clip this morning. Everybody else was gone!

And you know that's how WE do. We will not get caught up in some mess, when people start running, we go too. No matter what it is.

She really wanted to get her verdict I guess. I saw this on the news and the anchors were clowning the hell out her. You have big ass lights over your head swaying and swinging like the town drunk during happy hour and you're just going to stand there?

You know she's not from the hood. When you see people running you don't stand there or even ask questions. You run first and figure out why second. LOL!
