Losing Control

Last night I am not proud to say that I had a Nigger moment. Ugh I hate when the Beast rears it's ugly head. But last night at the gym the beast found willing prey to feast upon. I lost control and acted outside of the me I like to portray. But in all honestly sometimes you have to raise up and put people in their place.

I often forget that there are times that I can be somewhat intimidating, Well last night was one of those times. I got into a confrontation with an individual. However I am not even sure if they know why they got caught in midst of the Beast. It was for nothing that he did on the basketball court or even anything that he said. He caught it because he forgot who he was talking to. There are a lot of things that I allow to drift by me but I can not and will not allow any man to disrespect me. These are the times that the Beast shows its ugly head.

I have only had one other incident like this at the gym and that person now understands that things that he might say to others will not be tolerated by me. And because he has learned that lesson we no longer have any issues.

Some say that this is no way to handle issues but I believe that this is the only way to deal with an issue. you let the other person know what your boundaries and once they learn that they should keep clear and if they cross the line again, well they deserve whatever they get.

Well now I am going to go back to being my old laid back extremely chill self. Goodnight Sweet Beast.
