Remember me? **Grave Edit**

So the other day a woman that I work with said “Yeah, i could kick your ass.” And I just shrugged it off. at the time I was joking about stealing my soda refill (she works in the cafe at work) and she said it. no one ever used to say things like that to me. Well, I mean they did, but it never ended well for them. Sometimes nowadays I wonder how that reputation disappeared. I’m a pretty mellow guy for the most part, and I have a good sense of humor about things, so everyone assumes I’m a wimp (there was another word here, but I’ll go with wimp). Growing up I fought ALL the time, daily actually. A friend and I tried to tally it up in high school and we stopped when we hit about 700. So add that in with the state wrestling, the short but succesful boxing career and the HRT, SWAT and Ranger training and I’m a badass. but now I’m seen as a wimp. I know it shouldn’t matter, but it does. I’m not a small guy at 6′ and 240lbs, but for some reason everyone sees me as a teddy bear. Maybe I should maul some campers and remind them how dangerous a bear can be. Sometimes I myself forget what life was like when i was younger, then I look at the scars all over my body and feel my joints ache as I stand up and I am quickly reminded. i get cut off in traffic by some 21 year old punk who works out everyday and thinks that he’s tough shit and it makes me want to revert to the days when I would pull a guy through his window, you know what I mean?

I seem to have a similar problem in the inttelegence department. At work people see the uniform and assume that since I am a “security guard” I must be a moron. Are we a socioty so quick to judge? Yeah I dropped out of school, and yes I have a formal 5th grade education, but I’m not stupid. I spent my life educating myself. And for the information of anyone who cares my I.Q. is 171, which is nothing to laugh at.

So my question to you is: Why does everyone assume a nice guy is weak and someone not wearing a suit is a moron?

Okay, I’m done bitching about that.

What else?

Oh, the new Indiana Jones movie, yeah it was not good. Sorry. It was TOO campy and the lines Ford uses are not nearly as clever as the first three movies. Wait for this one on DVD and go see Iron Man instead (even if you’ve seen it, go see it again).

So in searching for directions to the cemetary where my dad and brother are buried I came across this:

This is how you are buried when you’re poor. Same grave actually. My brother was buried then my dads ashes were dropped in 13 years later. Good times.

i don’t know. everyone assumes since i work fast food, i’m dumb. i’m far from it. just prove to them you aren’t to be messed with and you are smart

Yeah, as a society we’re all pretty stereotypical. Which is why every woman who isn’t a prostitute is considered a prude, basically. It’s dumb.I like that you’re a teddy bear. =)That’s not to say I doubt your ability to jack someone’s shit up, I’m just saying.CA,

Wow. It’s kind of odd that you found a picture like that. Or at least, I think it’s odd.CB,

Did you find that picture on the internet? It really bothers me that people will quickly assume others to be dumb if their jobs don’t require a high level of education.

May 27, 2008

I have to admit I can be one of those people that occasionally rubs my level of education in others faces, but only the really arrogant folk who talk to you like you’re nothing. I look quite young and I’m a little strawberry miss sunshine type person so people often assume I’m stupid and that being nice means you’re a puashover. Ironically I’m teaching a session about stereotypes in an hour!

Yeah, that jackass had no business doing that. Do you think he was trying to just dump his chips?Thank you for going with me too! You’re a pretty good trip companion. =)CB,
