yeah, i think we all know that stuff ain't real, but sometimes u make the mistake of not stopping to think of the consequences of your actions... a couple dudes i knew from back in the day have gotten shot & killed over nonsense BS conflicts, & for what? BS pride & bravado... when u'r sober & thinking straight it's easier to weigh the possible consequences before u act on something... luckily for myself i've been able to avoid serious injuries other than being jumped at a party by a buncha Chinese punks who came down to my HS in SI from Queens to stir up trouble... only suffered a mild concussion, bruises, black & blues & a swollen face, but it could easily have been worse... in that instance i didn't go looking for trouble, trouble found me... sometimes u can't avoid these situations... i remember waking up in the hospital with the bottom of some dude's Reebok sneakers imprinted on my forehead from when he stomped on my face... lucky for me that was the worst of it.
Imagine if you got stomped on by a pair of "Starburys"!
I hear you, I got mugged once and it would have been ok except I started mouthing off and the three dudes did not like my attidude. Over three dollars in my wallet was all it was. I was really pissed off this was happening to me. They guy punched me so hard in my sternum, then wound up and got me in the cheek and I went down. Just praying he would not kick me!
My ego was bruised, said the black eye was on the basketball court and kept the sternum thing quiet. That actually hurt the worst!
