How my neighbor war started




I have been living next to this guy for 10 years. From the first day he moved in, there were problems. While he was backing the moving truck into his driveway, he drove over my mailbox. I greeted him with a big "F**K You" . From that day forward, its been all out war.

Shortly after he ran over my mailbox, Christmas rolled around. Christmas is a time of giving. A time of the year we all should take a step back, and give thanks for everything we have. Whether that would be a small house with 1 bedroom, or just a tent set up in the backyard. Life is a gift, that can never be underestimated.

I've never had any decorations for the holidays. For most of my life, I thought Christmas decorations were unnecessary and senseless. For the first time ever, I decided to give it a try. Let me remind you after my neighbor ran over my mailbox, the first thing he said to me was " Its not that big of a deal". Anyways, my neighbor came home one day with a tree attached to his roof. I watched him struggle to drag it into his house, and I had a glorious idea go through my head. At that point, I decided that his tree, would be my first Christmas tree. He had it completely decorated a day later. I watched him drive out of his driveway, and go to work that morning. I decided to make my move. I smashed his back door window with a brick and opened the latch. I welcomed myself into his house, and to a glass of milk. I walked into the next room, and saw it. The tree was absolutely beautiful.

The Angel was sitting on top of the tree singing to me like it was my guardian angel. I removed it carefully and walked it over to my house. I went back and grabbed the tree, dragged it out the back door, and into my house. I set the tree up in the middle of my living room. I plugged the lights in, and placed the angel on top of the tree. The tree glowed like the moon on the darkest night of the year. It was an unbelievable sight and feeling to finally have a Christmas tree in my home.

About 7 hours later, I saw my neighbor pull into his driveway. Little did he know, karma caught up to him. My doorbell rang 10 minutes later. I answered the door and said " How's it going neighbor".. He replied " Hey, did you see anyone break into my house?" .. I said " Nope" and slammed the door in his face.

An hour later he was standing in my front yard, looking in my window. The tree was glowing at full force, and I could see the anger in his face. He started to come towards my front door. I opened it before he could get there and said " You get the HELL out of here!" .. He replied " That's my tree! I can see my angel! You stole my TREE!" .. I slammed the door in his face.

The next day, he showed up in my driveway, as I was trying to get in my car. He threatened me, then told me that I was going to pay for his window, and he wanted his tree back. I told him he had no proof for any of his asinine claims. I mean, I did steal his tree, but he couldn't prove it, and I knew it. I told him he was just jealous that I had a tree and he didn't. He then tried to throw a punch in my direction. I reacted on instinct, and connected a wicked uppercut to his jaw. He dropped on contact.

Christmas passed, and tensions between the both of us seemed to escalate. This was the beginning.

Now it's 2009..and nothing has changed. Its a war over here.
