getting my ass kicked by a few guys when I was a doorman.
for a while I felt like superman cause it happened a few times that I had to fight 2 guys at the same time and it didn't went that bad

but after that time, I felt like a pussy

Sucks getting jumped. Happend to me once or twice. 2-3 years ago I got sucker punched pretty good. I was trying to talk this guy out of going after a friend of mine. We talked and it started to get a little bit heated. I had a drink in my hand as soon as I turned my head to walk away he slugged me right on the chin. I fell back and hit my head on table behind me. I learned a really good lesson don't ever trust neone never turn your back on a sp*c or guy.

anyone for that matter... when a fight is about to happen, its pretty much prison rules..dont look down, stare people in the eyes... dont lose confidence ( but be smart, if its 1 against 5, better to be humble than a cocky arrogant guy whos about to get his ass handed to him), and never turn your back against the target(no matter what color,size,weight they are...a skinny 150lber can easily stab you in the back)... if you notice, in most case people walk backwards and shit for that very same reason...

I got locked up and sent to a mental institution one time, there were some really hurting and fucked up people there - screaming all night, thorozine shufflers, lots of pain.
The people in there looked up to me, it was weird, they wanted to be able to live normal lives but it wasn`t in the cards for most of them. Anyway, they cut me loose pretty quick but it was a very humbling and outlook changing experience.

Same thing happened to me and humbled me greatly. I was arguing with my dad and threatened suicide and they sent me to one place like that for 2 days when i was a teenager. It humbled me greatly.

Recently, I was humbled by my divorce. I was arrogant toward her for most of the last 4 years of our marriage and thought she wouldn't ever leave no matter what I did and how I treated her. I was wrong. She did try and come back though several times so I know I can has her back anytime I want to.

Ya your right it doesn't matter what color. Only people to ever take cheap shots on me were one of the two though. I had way to much to drink that night. I paid for my mistake. It could of cost me a lot more, I got away with a sore jaw. Could of had a bottle broken over my head or worse.

ive always been down to earth, but the two moments that keep me humble are my nephew dying from sids out of nowhere and waking up to bullets, running outside to see my sister holding our brother blood everywhere as he died in or driveway.

Damn,that`s fucked up bro........sorry to hear it.

I had that happen trying to protect a doorman friend of mine about 10 years ago. I did learn my lesson though. lol

PTSD, didnt pay attention to what was happening to me and before I knew it every facet of my life had come unraveled. Money, girl, house, body, business, all gone. I still have my close friends and family though and am grateful for them.

In August 2010 I was in my local hospital literally dying in intensive care (developed massive pulmonary embollisms due to immobility from a thigh/knee surgery 2 weeks earlier). At my lowest in that hospital I rededicated my life to Christ and Christ's immediate revelation in my life has changed me forever. I give him the praise and thank him daily!

Oh Lord, you became one of 'those'

Very sorry for your losses.

Nothing yet for me, but I make sure I keep good karma and am thankful for all I have. I work hard, train hard, take no stupid risks with the gear. Probably my only drawback would be that I think all women are fucking whores and deserved to be treated as such. I just cannot take them serious

Falling into debt and nearly being evicted from where I live.

Also, experiencing real heart break. Oh yeah tough guys, I said it!!!!

Same here bro. I despise admitting it. I've lied to myself about this bitch so much that it has become my truth, but yea, the kcunt broke my heart. April 1st, 2002.

Today she's married to a fucking loser, slightly overweight with a retarded kid. She looks tired and old. But ya know, she still has those eyes that got me in the first place. $:-\$

I am going to get serious here...

one time on POF, a 20 year old girl on a wheelchair and breathing machine messaged me saying I was cute. I read her profile and got depressed. How could I complain when a 20 year old girl is on a wheelchair and trying to make the most of life? She sounded all upbeat on her profile too. I didn't know how to respond. I thought to just not answer, but I felt I really needed to.I said something along the lines of (don't make fun of me, I was feeling vulnerable)

"This is awesome! You're awesome! I loved reading your profile and think you are a very special girl. Maybe not what I am looking for romantically, but you are very pretty and have a very pretty smile and I think you are amazing. Keep kicking ass!" then I signed my name.

she replied "awww thanks you just made my day."

I instantly just started balling out crying. Humbled the fuck out of me. One of those moments that makes you re-evaluate life
