(no subject)
It's been a long time since I've felt the urge to fight, since I've felt that need to release anger, tension, agression. I used to do it every so often, lose myself in the physicalness of throwing a punch and receiving one in return, but it's been a long time since I've needed to do that. There are many reasons for that, none of which I will discuss at this time.
One thing I've never done, however, is hit a friend, or someone that I know. I've always felt that to be a violation of love, trust and friendship to hit someone whom I personally know. However, there are times when the line is toed, especially if my actions are in the defense of someone for whom I care. Call me a neanderthal if you will, I've been called much worse in my life.
I will say this, however. There is no excuse for a man's ungentleman-like behavior towards a woman. NONE WHATSOEVER. I will keep my temper in check, but if I hear about such actions being taken again, I can't promise that I won't do something about it. I realize this is awefully cryptic, and there is a reason for it.
Now, to end this post on something of a lighter note: I am heading for Toronto later today and will be spending a few days with the Gross family before flying to New York and traveling via car to Atlanta, Georgia. I'm rather looking forward to the trip, as my tour guide will be the most wonderful Diane Lane. She promises cheap and sleazy motels and hole-in-the-wall restaurants. *smirks* It will be interesting to say the least.
