I've gotten into a few "fights" before...most of them cannot even be considered an actual fight b/c they were just a few exchanges of fists...here are some of my tales:
1) Me and my friends were playing basketball with this guy and his brothers. the game started getting pretty rough and tension grew. this guy called a foul, my friend ignored him, so he came after my friend like a rabid dog. the guy pushed him down and started kicking his ass. friend #2 jumped on the asshole's back and started pounding his head but the asshole threw friend #2 off. I was just standing there, sorta dazed at what was happening but then decided to come to their rescue...I came up to asshole and socked him one in the nose. then I ran
. actually, I was taunting him by running and yelling "run forest, run!" (hey, that was a few years ago...gimme a break). then I stopped and he socked him in the eye. then we just all walked home. 2 years later, we played basketball again - this time it was pretty friendly. I don't like to admit this, but he's been holding a grudge and trained himself so he's much stronger and can kick my ass. but then again, we now live about 1 thousand miles apart: he lives in cali, and I moved up to hicktown, ohio.
2) I was bullying this guy - I'm usually never the one to pick on someone but he was acting all "bad." since i was bigger and older, he was scared of me so he tried to even up the match a bit: he got one of those ring screws (basically a screw with an end shaped in a circle) and put it onto his fingers. I was pushing him and he swung at me and got me in the arm and I bled. so I kicked him onto the ground then this adult saw us and yelled at us so I just walked off. about a year later, some guys were picking on him and I told them to stop.
3) my most recent one and my first REAL fight: in my sophmore year (last year), this red head kept on insulting me and wanted to kick my ass. so one day after school, we walked off school campus to fight and there were a few spectators. then we duked it out: we came at each other, mostly wrestling each other to the ground and stuff. then I socked him in the head a few times and he punched me in the cheek and tore a bit of the skin off: he was wearing a RING while I wasn't even armed at all. then we were circling each other and he punched me right in the eye...yes, the fist w/ the ring..it made a little red mark. then we circled each other a few times and he decided to call it quits b/c he was "tired of kicking my ass" (his own words). keep on mind I was still up and ready to keep on fighting. but since he wasn't willing to fight anymore, we just walked off and scheduled a fight for next week, same time, same place. the next day, he came over and said that he was "too smart to get into a fight with you...I got a headache from you bashing my head." so we decided to call a truce. later on, he was bragging to my friend he kicked my ass. I couldn't really defend myself from that b/c I had visible marks from the fight (scratched cheek and a light purple eye). regardless, we're now friends: we sit together at lunch and would always say hi to each other in the halls.
moral of my story: guys are pugnacious...a lot of us are always more than willing to get into a fight so we become assholes. then we beat the crap out of each other. afterwards, we gain each other's respect and become friends...or at least neutral.
currently, I try to steer away from fights b/c I dont' want to get suspended: I would be risking too much. and not not many, if any, are really giving me any grief. they just see me as this computer geek guy who never talks and leave me alone.
and most or all of the people who posted have at least won a fight. come on, I'm pretty sure there are some of you who never won any fights...share your pains to a community of empathizing geeks
