Fight Club

When was the last time you were in a fight? No, not an argument or some level of discomfort that you were able to battle through, I'm talking about an actual fist fight. You know, two or more people meeting and mutually deciding that their will, will be imposed on the other by a physical means.  For those of you out there that would answer never to the previously posed question I feel sorry for you but for those of you out there that read the question and a little smirk crawled over your face when thinking about it, I applaud you lol. 

Being in a fight is one the most accurate mediums of self discovery that life has to offer.  It's a sobering and sometimes a scary thing to find out exactly what you are capable of or not, discovering what you are willing to do to another human being to insure your own safety or just to get your point across. You have no idea what you will do in a fight unless you have been in one, there is no substitute for it, no mental evaluation will give you the answer, not Oprah nor GQ magazine can guide you during this time.  It's a terrifying experience that can result in you feeling more empowered than ever before or humbled to the point that you question who you really are.  

The last time I was in a fight three of my friends and I were jumped at a club by fifteen other individuals.  Have you ever heard the saying "you’re creeping up on an ambush" well this situation was the embodiment of that statement.  Not wanting to go into great detail about the situation I’ll just list some of the events that happened that night.  There were guys being chocked out, guys being hit with chairs, girls with bats, guys with bats, fights in the club, outside of the club, in the streets, under cars, and in bushes, trips to the E.R., bare foot climbs to the top of the clubs' roof, battle cries of "No you aint!" and "It's always worth it", guys being knocked out, girls being knocked out, and guys running to their car for fear of the fight continuing... It was a great night and for those who participated one that will never be forgotten.

In short, a little fight goes a long way...
