my 1st police report

Something rather unpleasant happened to me today. I was leaving campus at 5pm. I was walking up Holloway, crossed Juniperro Serra and walked a bit more just past the stone column at the entrance of the Ingleside neighbourhood. A white guy in his early 20s in a red shirt and khaki track pants was standing behind that stone column jerking off. He had his manhood right out there in his hand for all to see. He made eye contact with me and didn't say anything. He obviously did this with the intention of getting reactions from female passersby. I walked past him quickly and kept walking but I looked back twice to try to remember what he looked like. Each time I looked back he looked straight at me and for a minute he seemed as though he was going to start walking after me which freaked the shit out of me. I turned a corner and grabbed the cell phone out of my bag and turned it on. I kept walking and looking back but I guess he didn't follow me afterall. I had my Snapple in one hand and my laptop bag in the other so I waited to get to my car another block away to call the campus police. They dispatched the call as I was describing the guy on the phone. In 2 min the cops were at my car taking a statement. Unfortunately, he was gone by the time they went looking for him. Dammit. Quite the wake up call though. I don't think I'll ever forget my cell phone or leave it uncharged ever again. Sad thing is, this is the second time this has happened to me. An old man was doing the same thing in a drug store in Vancouver when I was about 5. I was wandering down an aisle by myself when I passed him. Fucking sicko.

Yikes, sorry about the sicko Van. Why do these freaks think it's okay to do this in public? Stay home buddy and rent a porn or something. Hopefully that's the last you see of that guy.

I hear that happens often on the University of Washington campus here in Seattle. I never saw it, but my college girlfriend said it happened more than you would imagine.

After reading your story my stomache is queezy. Very smart and fast thinking. I don't think just porn will solve this individual's problem.

Once again Aquarius' sharing bizarre happenings around the same time. On Sunday, a little after one, I was with my wife and our friend. We were at a gas station, in Berkeley, waiting for some friends of ours to fill up their car. My friend who was pumping gas seems to always attract strange individuals. So when I saw a drunk, rugged, homeless person come around the corner, I began complaining to the girls that my friend always attract those types. It is nothing mental or physical about him, it just happens! I was watching all the time because my friend had his back turned. The homeless guy startled my friend, they exchanged words, and he made his way. But guess where? Yes, this strange person probably made eye contact with all three of us and proceeded to come over. I knew it! My wife began to immediately grab her purse for money and so did our friend sitting in the back seat. Since the drunk man was approaching my side with the window down, I had a social dilema at the moment. Ya see, I am a black male and ya know the stereotype aka steelo. Well, I didn't immediately begin to roll my windows up and start the car. I sat calmly and waited. Drunk, stunk, and drooling. What a great combination?! The girls gave me the money and I gave it to him. He was so delighted that he began spurting something like, "You are so beautiful, I like your hair let me kiss." He then began to stick his head into the car. At that moment, I yelled, "Oh hell no, get out motherf@cker!" and began to shove his head out! After shoving his head out, by that time, I was drooling as I was yelling motherf@cker at him with my head out the window. I could go on and explain about how my friend was blocking us from getting out of the parking lot quicker but I think everyone gets the jist of the story.

Again Van, it is good to read that you came out unharmed and good using your head and god-speed. Trust me, moments like those do take divine intervention.

I have fixed a download issue at Downtime Music which may have prevented you from getting over 60% of the mix. Our mixes are usually over 50mins. To make up for the mistake, I have also uploaded music since 2003 in a smaller Real player format. Hope you really enjoy.
