There's a Stranger in my House!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

I'm back and got hella stuff to talk about. But first things first... There's a stranger in my house! No this isn't an ode to Tamia!! But I found out that there is a homeless dude living in the fitness center of my apartment complex. This very complicated case was solved today, however the clues span back about a month.

So one night in December, during one of the nights that I wasn't able to steal wireless internet, I went to the business center of my apartment. At some point that night, I heard loud rumbling and scurrying above me. now I know it couldn't be no animal that damn big on the roof and I knew no rats could be that loud ANYWHERE. But I gave up on the sound, gathered my things, and decided to leave for the night before the grimlins came to get me. **Clue # 1**

About 2 weeks ago... the same scenario occurred again. I was in the business center and heard what sounded like someone walking or crawling above me. At this point I decided that it was not in my best interest to use the business center late at night. **Clue #2**

A few days ago, I was very restless and decided to go to the fitness center and work out this energy and help me sleep. As I attempted to open the door, I realized it was locked (which it never is). I then look through the glass and found a man laying on the floor watching tv! WTF! Confused, bewildered, and shocked... I just walked away and quickly changed my mind and went back to my apartment. ** Clue #3**

Yesterday, against my better judgement, I decided to go to the business center to do some work (one of these days I'm gonna get real internet). While I was there, I heard a loud noise come from the bathroom area and there after saw a man walk from that direction and headed towards the fitness center. It was the SAME damn dude from the other day. He goes in there and locks the door like he did the other day. I looked back towards the restroom where he came from and saw that the ceiling tile from the attic was out of place. ** Clue # 4** DING DING DING!! This grown ass man climbed out of the attic where he was hiding and walked into the fitness center.

At this point.. I was confused as hell and didn't know what to say.. This man is living in the apartment complex for freeee-99 and ain't paying naaaaaa'ne parts of rent. At this point I have become the hater. Yea I said it.... dammit, if i gotta damn near break my back and hustle to pay rent so do u. You will not hide and make the fitness center your home!!!

So today I went to the leasing office and to her that I think somebody is living in the fitness center. Apparently I wasn't the only person who noticed because other folks have been complaining about dude. The background story is that he used to live here and got evicted a few months ago and is now hiding out. They have called the police on dude like 3 times and haven't been able to catch him. The woman told me to call 911 the next time I saw him. WOW! I know times are hard and people are doing crazy things to get past these hard times...but damn... this take the cake.

Maybe I should just terminate my lease and go live in the laundry room. I can hide all my clothes in the dryers. They have sofas in there, so I'll be comfy too! What do ya think?
