Holy crap, I ran

I went out for my first training run in months. A 7.5 miler at a very easy 10 min pace, I am starting from square 1 after all. I started at 7 pm so it was pitch black out but I was wearing my super reflective night vest for running. I run against traffic as the law requires and I'm not one of those jerks that hogs the road so everyone is forced to acknowledge he is there. With about 2 miles left in the run some jerk in a blazer lays on the horn as he passes me and doesn't give me single inch of leeway. These are small town roads I run on, not much traffic, that was not necessary. I spit on his windshield as he passes, yell an obscenity, and then throw my hands up in disgust as I turn and starting walking back towards the car that passed me. He's down the road a bit by then and I see him start to brake, and, oh boy....I am absolutely ready to throw down with this punk. I start taking off my ipod and stuff as I keep walking towards the brake lights thinking it's on. Then the brake lights turn off and he keeps going but the car coming in the other direction starts to turn around. They would have seen everything that just happened so I'm thinking it is just a concerned citizen going to get this punk's license # for me. As the car becomes sideways in the U-turn I see the lights on top and "POLICE" on the side of the car. LOL, I'm even laughing as I write this, I mean seriously...how PERFECTLY screwed is that punk now that he tried to run me down in front of a freaking cop! Hahahaha, I LOVE IT! Off the cop goes to chase him down as I hook my iPod back up and turn to finish my run with the mild satisfaction that justice may actually be served tonight.

In my fantasy world that I created for myself and choose to live in, the driver gets a big, fat fine that his broke ass can't pay and so he loses his license for a few months while he collects soda cans on the side of the road to save up enough cash to pay the fine. But sadly I know that likely won't be the case. More likely, he'll use his condom money to pay the fine and end up procreating with his step-sister in the neighboring trailer park thus furthering the decay of society. So now I have to live with the fact that because I went for a run tonight the world is one inbred family richer and one step closer to its demise. And for that, my friends, I am sorry.
