In the Heat of the Moment

                                                                     Hungry

      Have you ever had a moment of rashness that you wish that you could take back?  Who hasn't?

I sure have.  I wish more than anything that I could take back what I did a few days ago...

      I'm sitting in my cell in county lockup trying to understand why I did what I did.  I did it, of that there can be no doubt.  I am the guiltiest of the guilty.  I have total recognizance of the incident.  I just can't understand the purpose of my crime.  What was I thinking?  I wasn't thinking.  That's the problem.  I guess I'm going to have to take you to the scene and tell you about it.  

      We've all seen the Snickers commercials about not being you when you're hungry.  Well, let me tell you, I was one hungry mofo on the day of my crime.  That doesn't excuse me, not at all, I just wanted to tell you that.  I hadn't eaten in like two days, so, yeah.. Well, anyway, back to the story.  I had a crazy schedule, work, school, homework, family.  I remember distinctly the argument with my mother and then my fiance, leaving the house and driving to the store.  I had a breakdown in the car and could barely see the road through my tears.  I got to the store and realized that I had forgotten my purse.  With all of my money.  I was not going back to the house to get into another argument about stupid crap with the two people I loved the most.  I was so hungry and I could think of nothing more than a candy bar, a cold soda and maybe some chips.  However, I had no money, so what was my stupid, forgetful, hangry self to do?  

      I have a bb gun that looks like a .22 pistol in my glove compartment.  I decide, in a moment of inspiration, to just go in and take what I want and if anyone bothers me, point the gun at them.  Now you know what I did.  I stole a candy bar, a drink and a bag of chips.  Because I was too hungry to think.  I think I will only get community service or a fine. Moral of the story?  Don't go two days without eating because you are busy, don't argue with your loved ones over stupid crap, and don't steal stuff when you can just easily go home and get your money and pay for it.
