LOST CONTROL

            Have you ever lost control over things because you haven't thought about it?.
             It may be something you have done on an impulse. This is exactly what happened to me one weekend. It started off at a party I went to. A couple of friends and I went to go have a good time. It was a very cold night I hade my winter coat on and gloves. .
             It started about 10:00, we started walking up this hill to get to the party were we said all bought a cup for $5.00 and started drinking. There was only about 15-25 people there, I threw a few kegs in my day and that was small compared to others I had seen. I thought to myself that cops wouldn't come for a while because we weren't really drawing any attention to ourselves. So me and the guys after pounding a couple cups down went on our separate ways talking with different people and I got lost in one of the crowds. It was about 12:00 and there were 3 times as many people there. I went over to a spot where there wasn't anyone, I pulled out my new cell phone and called one of my friends to meet me at the bottom of the hill to re group. I was approached by 3 kids that I haven't seen before. They wanted me to take a walk with them which to me sounded pretty stupid to do. "Nah" I said to myself and walked away after meeting back up with a few friends I told them what happened and apparently .
             I pointed them out over a few people and they told me not to go near those guys anymore. They also said that one of them had a gun. Not the gun type, I stayed away from them. I should have left then but I really didn't care at that time what they had as long as they stayed away from me. Later on when the keg was starting to get empty I decided to start walking down the hill and meet up with the guys that were at the bottom catching a cab. Let me draw a picture out to you the hill was very big about half the size of a football field going straight up and at the top was trees and a flat plain the keg was into the middle of the plain not exactly on top of the hill if you were wondering.
