Two minor annoyances

pluralOne
people who get offended when I am not there when they IM me
look folks, I don't ignore anyone, if don't want to talk to people
I either block them or just don't sign into IM in the first place
however, I am often am logged in and away from my desk
usually my computer is running other things
which is probably why it shows me as being present
but guess what if I am not responding I am not there
if I don't want to talk or am too busy to talk I will tell you
I am sorry but putting on my away message every time I leave my desk
or returning to my computer to turn it on once I realized I am not going back right away
is just not high on my priority list
k
k
we understand each other?
fabulous
next time
number
Two
for some reason
guys up here are either very threatened by me
or think I am an easy target
or some combination of both
I have been in more altercations in the three months I have been here
that in the past few years
last night
I was talking to a girl
some guy walks up and is flipping some attitude
and this is not one of those his girlfriend situations
I think they might have known each other but definitely not like dating or even that friendly
she seemed to give off unhappy vibes when he showed up
I am like chill man, and go to introduce myself
he is acting like a total ass
so whatever
I turn back to my friends
to talk to them
and like five minutes later
he grabs me from behind
one arm over my shoulders around my neck
I did the take a deep breath
and give him the
I am going to count to three warning
at which point I would simply drop my center of gravity
lean forward and throw his ass into the SUV in front me
jujitsu is quite handy with drunk fucks
just as I opened my mouth
one of the guys I was talking to
beat me to the punch and told him to let go of me
he did
with a warning that if that guy hadn't said let go
I would have been fucked
I shrugged and when back to my conversation
everyone was wrapping up
getting into cabs
and again the guy comes up to me
tries to shove me
I slide out of the way
and with a gentle push
send him flying past me
at which point the bouncers
[friends of mine of course]
come out and tell him to get lost
which he does
I realize a lot of this can be the holidays
and other crap
but I am getting sick of it
I am not sure if I just need to give the next guy
the ass whipping of his life very publicly
so that word gets around
or
what
I don't know
I look at what I have done
and cant really find a reason in my actions
sure with the head butt, once I realized it was going down hill
and not recoverable
I decided the try a little intimidation instead
but in the three instances where shit has happened
I have been extremely polite and restrained
and can not put my finger on any action which would provoke such a response
I realize this is a small town and being a stranger marks me out some
but I have lived in other small towns without this much problems
I also realize being well dress and confident
may threaten some insecure fucks
but what am I supposed to dress like a slob
and run around with my tail between my legs?
or is it that they are drunk fucks and see my nice clothes
as meaning that I cant handle myself
so I would be an easy target to pick on?
well I feel sorry for the surprise those last bunch are going to get
I may dress with class now and carry myself like a gentleman
but I have years of punk ass behavior and street fights under my belt
I haven't always won the fights I have been in
but I bat over 500 and know how to take a punch
is it some combination of all of the above?
I don't know but if this continues
I am either going to be in a lot of fights
or not going out very much
either way its just drama I do not need

Date: 2003-12-31 12:08 am (UTC)I have studied aikido since I was seven
and
a variety of other martial arts through
friends of mine who were skilled in them
and I must agree
it is rather perverse
I am just not sure how to nip it in the bud
I would rather not hurt anyone if I had my dithers but it seems lately like that is more and more necessary to obtain a little bit of peace
I do not like it
