So last night I was walking home from my friend Julie's apartment, right through downtown Chilli-crack. I stop at Tim Horton's and talk to some friends, then I leave. I'm walking in front of my old high school, cranking the 'Double Talkin' Jive' on my headphones and there's this group of kids walking my way. This isn't an uncommon occurence, but something was different. One of them was walking towards me. He was wearing a hood, a bandana over his mouth, and had something in his hand. So I take off my headphones.

'Give me the iPod.'
Now, before he said this, I was a little scared. I'm a pretty big guy (6', almost 200lbs.) but I'm no fighter. But when he told me to give him my beloved music making device, I looked him straight in the eye, stiffened my stance and said,

'No.'

So he says again,
'Give me the iPod.'
'No.'
'Give me the fucking iPod!'
'No!'

This goes on a few times, then he looks down. I do too, and he has a can of mace in his hand. We make eye contact once again, and he once again demands my iPod. I once again refuse. Then he looks at his group of friends.

It was at this very moment that I knew that this kid was a fuck. He broke eye contact to look at his buddies, meaning that he didn't know what to do because he clearly had no intention of macing me.

So I say 'see ya' and cross the street. Unfortunately there were cars coming so I had to run, but as soon as I hit the sidewalk, I resumed 'Double Talkin' Jive' and kept on walking. They didn't follow.

So that was fucked. I would much rather get peppersprayed and fight then just award some prick who's trying to intimidate weak people with my rightful property. The best part is that I turned the tables on him. But what I want to know is,

What the fuck is with my town?
Why is everyone carrying fucking pepperspray and even bear spray? Some little shit head peppersprayed my sister's boyfriend, and she and our puppy got caught in the cross-fire, a few months ago. People get maced ALL the time.
What did those kids think they were doing, fucking robbing people? I just don't understand the motive behind it.

Oy vey.
