Entry 4


I am currently at home trying to process the unnecessary events of today: I was mugged in Koreatown, Los Angeles by a scraggly homeless man trying to reclaim his seat on the bus stop bench. This city is really odd in how random things seem. The thin man grabbed for me as I left the Coffee Bean patio, lunging for my satchel. I thought him so out of place and so audacious to do so, so I struck back! I could not help it. The skinny fool faltered enough to be unable to strike me back and run with the bag – I gained the upper hand. As he saw how unrelenting I was and how able I was to fight back, he threw the satchel back to me hastily. I caught it but could not let him go – I was too angry! People around us began to stare at the commotion and presumably with indignation at the homeless man’s insulting rudeness. I spat once down onto the ground and left. I’m home now nursing the bruise I obtained from the scuffle.
