1. I am not a racist.
2. I do not hate Black people. (Duh…)
3. I have never, nor would I ever, say that anyone’s place of business is a front for drug activity.
4. I have never been involved in “putting articles in the paper” with regard to #3 above. I was featured in an article in the Baltimore Sun, but anyone with a second-grade education should be able to read and understand it.
5. I do not spend my days calling the police on drug addicts, drug dealers, random pedestrians, or anyone else. You might have that kind of free time, but I don’t.
And may I add, anyone who says otherwise is a fucking asshole.
That’s all. Carry on.

I saw the “I love Jesus!” guy again today. Only this time instead of stopping and yelling, he drove down Washington Boulevard blaring the horn. I think he must have gotten as far as S. Carey before he stopped, because I heard it for quite some time. Gotta love that guy — he sure knows how to liven up a dull afternoon. Praise Jesus, y’all!

I’m glad I took up smoking again. If I wasn’t always outside standing on the sidewalk, I would have missed the “I love Jesus!” guy, and I would have missed the couple today who walked by me.
The guy looks over at the woman and says “Move, Darlene. I feel a wet one coming on.”
Seriously, I couldn’t run back inside fast enough. I didn’t want to know what was coming, but I felt really sorry for Darlene at that moment.

Whatever Tom Cruise is smoking these days, I pray to…whomever….they don’t start selling it on the streets of Pigtown. Wow. That poor Katie Holmes…

So you may have noticed by now that one of the windows of my cafe was shattered and is now boarded over. I wanted to wait until I was no longer angry before I posted about this, but then I realised that I’m never going to not be angry about it, so what the hell.
Around 7 PM (and this is a very rough time frame), someone (or multiple someones) decided it would be a good idea to throw a bunch of bricks through one of my windows. The very window I’m always sitting in. I don’t know what they thought they would accomplish, and obviously the people who are responsible don’t know me at all…because it didn’t accomplish much, other than getting me to dig my heels in and continue to make our community a safer place for all of its residents.
As for who did it — your guess is as good as mine. However, people who do stupid things generally like to brag about it to other stupid people, and word will get back to me soon enough. And then the people will be dealt with accordingly, including the person who caused all of this to happen. Mark my words.
I’d like to thank everyone who came into the cafe today to offer their support and kindness, and the people who came running last night to help clean up. You are what makes this community a wonderful place to live.

…would someone stop their car, roll down the window, give me the finger, and yell “Fuck you! I love Jesus!” and drive off.
OMG WTF.

One of the things that never ceases to annoy me about living here is the number of men who will stop and leer at me, or honk their horn, or pull over like they think I’ll just hop in their car. What is it about me that makes them think I’m a hooker? Like today — I was walking down S. Carey Street on my way home from the bank, and no less than four people acted the way I imagine potential sleazy johns behave when they’re picking up hookers.
So was it my outfit? Did the LL Bean down vest just scream “I’m easy and cheap!” ?? I’m so confused. Please, someone shed some insight into this — I’d be forever grateful. Seriously. Because I’m a little creeped out by it.
