Hit and run

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 25, 2008, 11:41 AM
[Original post: Friday, March 21, 2008 @ 3:34am]
Wow, I cannot believe my luck!! I just got back home from a night of fun, amazing photography, and a car wreck in my brand-new 2007 Chevy Cobalt. Tonight was supposed to be (and was) a lot of fun, until this random dark-grey, 2005 Honda Accord (probably with a drunk driver) ran into the side of my car, tearing up the back side, breaking off my tire's hubcap, and making my car spin into a 180° turn. Oh, and did I mention they didn't have their lights on? Regardless, as soon as I stopped, they were on their way down the street, speeding away from the scene. That's when Dave (my passenger) yelled "follow them!" So, without thinking and still in shock, I went down the road, and caught up to get their license plate and description of the car. Dave was on my cell phone reporting the accident to the police. The person who was driving the other car took absolutely nothing into consideration because they were going down one-way streets, running red lights, stop signs, swerving to miss pedestrians, etc. It was really scary and it felt like I was on an episode of COPS, but after what seemed like forever, Dave told me to stop following them and go back to the scene of the accident. I was really shaken up, but we got back to the site where a police officer took a report on the hit and run. When we got back home, I called my car insurance company to report the claim and they told me that my agent would get back with me. Well, I only hope that I don't have to pay for the repairs to my baby, or I might have to declare bankruptcy... Wish me luck!

[Update #1: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 @ 12:41pm]
I was just informed that my car repair is going to cost me about $4,000 (four-thousand-dollars) because I have to get a new suspension, a new left-side panel for the body of my car, a new hubcap, and the list goes on. This is just my fucking luck! Let me explain: for the first time in almost an entire year, I was finally getting out of debt (because of my digital camera purchase) and then, I get into a hit-and-run car accident. Is this karma, because I've always tried to be a really good person!? I mean, for crying out loud! Even though, I only have to pay $500 from the repairs, it's still going to put me back into the proverbial financial hole, big time. Oh, and I also have another car payment and my insurance payment that's due today, so that's yet another $500! Why me!? :cries:
Oh, and did I mention that I still have almost $16,000 (sixteen-thousand-dollars) left to pay off for my car? :dead: Fortunately, that should be paid off in the next five years or so. I think I need to start in the counterfeiting business or maybe go legit and win the lottery. :plotting:

Someone has stolen some of your work, I am sorry, I found an artist, everyone was saying the work was stolen. So I looked though her gallery and looked at one piece, picked some tag words and found it was yours

I thought I should tell you, I found an "artist" everyone was saying her work was stolen I looked though her gallery and tried seaching for tags that you would have added, and I am sorry that someone has done this.
