The other day I was out eating breakfast and this crazy dude came up to me and stood over my table and said "What's your name?" and I looked at him crazy and said "Now why do you want to know that?"  The guy then said "Because I ASKED you a question!" and I said "Well that's not good enough".  The guy then says "Stop messin' with my wife!".

The staff then came over and escorted the guy off.  I caught him outside and asked "You got something to say?" and got in a relaxed and ready stance.  He set his bag down like he was going to do something, but then he picked it up and walked down the road.

I had a laugh with the staff of the restaurant and one of the girls working there said "Yeah, whoop that ass!!"


My life.  My music.

I was walking toward my residence this evening when the 5 year old Mexican boy who lives nearby saw me.  I stopped to wrestle him for a bit then told him in Spanish (he only speaks Spanish) that I had to go now because I had to go to work.  He asked me all excited "Are you going to work in Mexico?" and I laughed and answered "Is it Mexico here already?"

My most recent confrontation.

Today in H-town I found myself on the side of the freeway in rush hour traffic dealing with the police and some asshole dude.  This time I made $100


Here's how it started.  I was driving along the feeder road and the left lane merged into the right, I was in the left lane and merged and the guy behind me got upset, but he really had no reason to as I did not do anything dangerous, I simply sped up a little to avoid ending up on the curb.  But some people take everything personally and don't realize that in a big city with a lot of traffic and a lot of construction and unforgiving roads, there's a certain amount of give and take required to coexist with others.

So the guy, upset and impatient, started tailgating me seriously, so I slowed down and I saw the guy in my rear view mirror raise would looked to be a gun for a split second but it was his car cd/radio detachable face plate case, he was pointing it at me like a gun.  I calmly extended my middle finger to express my non-appreciation.

He drove up beside my car and I heard a loud noise.  This guy threw something at my car.  He made a facial expression like a sarcastic "whoopsie" which now actually is kind of funny even though he fucked up and it's not cool.  The guy apparently lost his mind because he thought I would not do anything about it.  He sped around me in a honda civic lx, but I pursued him in my BMW onto the freeway, reaching into my backseat for my cellular.

I called 911 and told the operator that I was following a black honda civic lx and gave the license plate number.  The guy then got on the phone too while driving, but then he slowed down and pulled over onto the side of the freeway.  I stopped my car behind his.  He got out of his car while I was still on the phone with the 911 operator and walked towards my car.  I locked the doors.  He walked up to my car and a little past it, I had my eyes on him the whole time.  He was such a spook he should be a ghost for halloween with his lame scare tactics.

I talked on the phone with a sergeant of HPD and he told me not to confront the guy.  I got out of my car and waited.  The guy didn't really say anything to me at that point.   He did walk over and then say "I apologize" to the which I replied "sir keep your distance" and pointed for him to walk away which he did.

A police officer showed up about 20 minutes later.  I gave exact directions to my location but the cops couldn't find it at first (as the tow driver who showed up on the scene informed me who was listening to the cb radio). 

I told the officer who arrived what happened.  He asked what I wanted him to do so I said max penalty under the law.  I told him that in Virginia this kind of thing is a felony, which it is. The officer said it wasn't a felony in TX.  The officer then went to his car and started calling the district attorney and some other people to see if there were any charges he could press.  Since there was no property damage, there would be no charges to press.  He asked what I wanted to do so I said "you want to come while I talk to this guy?" and he said yeah.  So the officer got the other guy to come over and started talking to him.  Then I let in on the guy.  I told the guy (I will paraphrase some but I did say all of this)

"You have levied a tax on me, the police, the tow truck driver, the fire department (who showed up also), and an ambulance (which also showed up).  Don't you think we all have better things to do than to deal with this stupid ass bullshit?  I take martial arts, and I would fucking destroy you in a fight (to the which the guy agreed), but I chose not to hit you -instead, I did the civil thing.  But the law does not protect against all liabilities, and you sir, are a liability.  I suggest you look into what little heart you have and figure out what you're going to do about this."

And the guy goes "I'll pay to buff it out". 

I said "how much money do you have on you?"

He said "$100"

and I said

"Give me $100!!"

and he walked to his car, got his money, and gave me $100. 

I said "This is over", thanked the police officer, and left, and that was that. 

There is no damage to my car, by the way.  

This week has been quite eventful with a few serious confrontations I had with strangers in this big crazy city known affectionately as H-town.

Monday morning at 8:30 am I had a confrontation with a guy on the street who, as I was pulling into a parking lot, looked at me angrily and cursed me out while he was walking by.  Thinking what is this guy's problem, I flipped him the bird.  He then stopped and started getting crunk.  So I got out of my car in traffic and pointed at him and told him off.  He then told me "get back in your bitch car" so I shut my car door and ran up on the guy ready to hit him, my right arm and fist held back with my left arm fully extended in front of me for aim and balance.  I saw the look of fear in his eyes so I did not hit him.  Also he was pushing a baby stroller, so that variable made me hitting him that much more difficult.  He backed away and dramatically (for effect) reached into his pocket as if pulling out a gun or knife, but he pulled his keys out of his pocket and put one in between his fingers to use as a weapon.  Fortunately for him the cops showed up on the scene and intervened.  The guy then got loud with the cops and called me an idiot.  He also called me a foreigner.  I was completely respectful and cooperative with the police and told the officer how I did not appreciate the guy calling me a foreigner as I was a military veteran with 6 years of service.  The officer and I were both concerned that this guy was behaving so ridiculously with a child in his custody.  I should have mentioned child protective services because this guy was a serious candidate for some state intervention. 

Then tonight I was at a Blockbuster and this dude (who was having a very rude cross-the-store conversation with his girlfriend) walked right past my head while I was kneeling and looking at some movies so I said "excuse you" and the guy turned around after walking some and said "are you serious?" to which I replied "are you serious?".  He started cursing me out and then informing his girlfriend of what was going on as she met up with him.  He said something to the likes of "this guy over here can't read the DVD's..."  I responded in kind and told him to shut the fuck up faggot.  He said "You're in the special interest section" so I said "and you're in the special Olympics motherfucker".  He walked off talking under his breath.  For the record I was not in the special interest section.  He was wrong.  I was in the drama section near the special interest section.

Another time I chased down a very reckless and dangerous driver in my apartment complex.  As I approached him on foot while he got out of his car, I noticed his two sons get out.  I told him in Spanish that his driving was unsafe.  Then I walked off.

It baffles me how some people are so reckless and inconsiderate and while they have children in their care.


I know there are people out there who actually read my blog, but I never get any feedback. 


If anyone out there would like to send me a real confrontation story of their own (privacy will be protected- no crimes or illegal acts), I will post it here.  I know I'm not the only one who deals with drama. 


Happy hater hunting!

I recently attended an event for veterans held at the Houston Community College where I learned the details of an amazing new educational program for veterans that blows the previous GI Bill out of the water. 

After August 2009 the government will now pay for all in-state college tuition, give a book allowance, AND give a veteran BAH (BAH rate of E-5 with dependents).  You do NOT have to have contributed the $1200 during your first year of service to qualify for this. 

There are some requirements, like you have to have served in the armed forces for 36 months to receive full benefits, but even those who served less time may still qualify for a reduced educational benefits package.
