I got jumped tonight...

[Skitch]

Worst/scariest thing I have ever experienced. I was walking into a friends apartment at about 10pm tonight when a guy came jogging around the corner yelling at me to hold the door. When he got close to me he goes "man it's fucking cold" and the next thing I know he just fucking hits me harder than I've ever been hit. I twist around and land on my hands and knees on the snow and he immediately jumps on my back and puts me in a tight choke hold.
It was an indescribable feeling, my only thought was that he was trying to kill me, it all happened so fast that I didn't have any chance to react or do anything. I tried to yell for him to stop but all that came out was that nasty "gurgling" sound you hear when someone gets choked in movies. He choked me until I blacked out and I woke up in the snow about 8 minutes later without a clue where I was.
My wallet, keys, phone and money are all gone. I just spent the last hour talking to cops that aren't going to be able to do anything since I only caught a glimpse of the guy. I hope feels great about the fucking $40 and a used cell phone I had on me.
My adrenaline is absolutely pumping right now over two hours later, I will not sleep tonight. Although now I obviously don't think he was actually trying to kill me, I still feel very happy to be alive. Being forcefully choked to the point of blacking out is fucking scary scary shit. Man...
