  you know, sometimes you hear things over and over and again and you try to convince yourself that that is the way it's supposed to be - that it's true; that it must be true; that it must be right. well, sometimes it just aint so.
  
  i know we're not supposed to "fight" because it is barbaric. i know we're not supposed to "fight" because there are always "better" ways to resolve an issue. i know we're not supposed to "fight" because violence is "wrong" and it doesn't solve anything. well, you know what? fuck it. sometimes you just plain simply need to kick some ass. violence doesn't always solve the problem, but sometimes... it does.
  
  i actually learned this many many years ago in the third grade, but somehow society managed to convince me otherwise. case in point: when i was in second grade, there was a class bully named Marcos. he used to pick on all the kids for no good reason. he'd steal, hit, intimidate and beat up kids for fun. one day i got fed up with Marcos and when he tried to push me off the monkey bars on the playground, i stood my ground. i told him to leave me alone. he didn't and when he tried to hit me, i twisted his arm around, dislocated his shoulder, punched his 2 front teeth out and made him cry like so many of the kids that he had made cry in his already extensive bully career. he stopped bullying kids. i think i did the right thing. of course, my parents were called in for a teacher-parent conference, i was suspended from school for a week and i was forced to write an apology letter to Marcos and his family for resorting to violence and hurting him. i in turn, asked that Marcos write letters to all the kids that he had hurt over the years, but i was sternly told by my elders that "two wrongs dont make a right". correction, sometimes 1 wrong can make a right.
  
  so i've resolved to go back to my third grade instincts and do what i feel is right. unfortunately some people will only learn when forcably taught a lesson. sometimes you just need to kick a little ass. this doesn't mean that violence will be my only solution to everything. but it does mean that it's in my arsenal of solutions to problems. lesson to be learned - dont be a dickhead unless you're ready to risk being on the receiving end of consequences.
