I got in a Fist Fight with KEILAN!!!!

My phone rings and its Keilan. I answered and said, “What’s up man?”, “Hey Buddy, can you come to Richmond?” he replied. I said, “I’m actually really busy right now, can we get together some other time?” “No Jon, you need to come down here, I need you right now.” So, I reluctantly, jumped on 95 to go see what my good friend needed. I called him when I got to Richmond and he told me to meet him at Sports Authority. I got there and He asked me to help him with selecting a pair of running shoes, because he was joining the U.S. Army. Now we all know that I threw away my running shoes the day I got out of the Army (probably like 6 months before). I told Keilan that I was not in touch with that, and furthermore, I was mad that he wouldn’t just ask me on the phone… He then asks, or challenges me to race him around the parking lot… I told him that I hadn’t run in years and that there would be no competition… as I was going to leave, Hot as all get out that I wasted PREMIUM gas to go down there, he tells me that I better not leave, or he would do something about it… I turned to walk away and felt a forceful shove from behind, it was Keilan, with his fists up to fight! I asked him what his problem was and why did he want to fight me. He told me that it didn’t matter, but it was about time this was happening… Then the sound of alarm clock was ringing as loud as can be from the Sky… and I woke up safely in my bed… Without having been “pummeled” by Kiki… is that the strangest dream or what???
