I dont do anything,isnt that obvious?.. not untill school starts again. by the way, my 51 year old brother runs 3 miles 3 times a week, and works out and lifts weights, so he isnt a typical senior, but i am a typical 46 year old though, but i still could whoop ass if i wasnt so damned drunk. Good thing though, cause i would hate to f-up my own brother.end of story.

What exactly do you do for a living? I'm just curious, bro.

Maybe he's a school janitor?
what school do you go to at 46 years old?

My brother and I got into HUGE fights when we both lived at home. I just moved out, at the age of 22, and my brother moved out 2 years ago when he was 24. We had severe fights. We have taken frying pans, knives, rings of keys, boards, hangers, etc at each other before. Fists have gone through windows and doors, too. My elbow has gone into a glass frame before. (pulling glass out of your elbow for 35 minutes= TEH suck!) I fractured my brother's hand when he tried to deflect a punch.

I could go on for a long time, but I don't know how we didn't kill each other at one time or another...we'd been fighting ever since I could remember. Once my mom and dad got divorced, my brother had no one to control his temper (he *ALWAYS* started the fights and would annoy me in my room while I was being the geek that I am, on the computer 24/7, until one of us would throw a punch)

We get along great now, though, since both of us have parted our ways. He's 4 years older than me, but acts 15 years younger.

When I found my brother stealing money from my mom, I got a few good punches in. I was 23 at the time, my bro was 18. He also stole money from me, and was smoking pot every day. He had no job, and got expelled from two high schools. He also hung out with gang members all the time. I wanted to put him in the hospital, and make sure he would stay as an inpatient for a couple of weeks. My mom stopped me after 5 or 6 punches though. My brother was terrified of me for a good 2 or so years after that. My mom went too easy on him, and I didn't want to deal with his crap any more, so I moved out a few months after that. It's been a couple of years since then, and he was arrested again, (last chance before jail time, court can change their minds and stick him in jail for a while if he doesn't show improvement, hold employment, and stay out of trouble.) He's going to rehab regularly, and he also has a job. He even claims he's going to go for his GED, I don't particularly believe him.

I took a bat to my brother once. This was when I was like 13 and he was like 16.

Even though I'm 21 and he's like 24, I hate to admit it, but...I'd do it again. I use to get beat up by him all the time and even though I'm 21, I still hold it against him. If he minds his own business and don't mess with me, I'll lay off of him. But I swear to you now if he messes with me again, I will beat the crap out of him.

I sort of have this inner rage building up all of these years. I'm just about ready to release it. I use to get whipped by my dad too. I think I got my rage from him. It's hard growing up when you actually fear your own father.

I'm 21 now and sometimes I still do fear my own father. He's like 65-66 now and he doesn't mind me anymore since I'm an adult. He stopped whipping me when I hit 18. He said that he had done his best to raise me and that I would have to make my own decisions now.

I know my dad means well. But growing up for was hard times. We weren't poor or anything, but getting whipped is not fun. I can't believe I'm actually crying whlie typing this. It's just bad memories. We're all ok now, but I think I'm emotionally scared for the rest of my life.

But I do want to say this. I have built up my rage over the years and I'm just ready to snap. My roommate knows this and he is scared of me sometimes. For some reason I'll only feel satisified when I beat the crap out of someone until they are having trouble staying alive. That's when I'll be satisfied.

My brother and I fought all the time in the house..all the time. Until I moved out. Even though we're older...much older than the last time we saw each other, we still verbally argue. He usually initiates it (not all the time, but most).

It's gotten better, as far as physically fighting is concerned, but man, we used to really go at it. Even our father would just stand around shaking his head...great, right?

It gets better.
