i live w my 4 years younger brother, he long since out-grew me, i lived on my own while he lived at home, but the past few years we've lived together, as flat-neighbors.

he's been out partying tonight, and called the door. i hardly recognized him. face beat to a pulp.
now, he's somewhat of a bad-boy, hes beat up many a unlucky guy before, been in trouble w police, and whatnot. but ive never seen him this beat-up before, his entire face is just blood and bloated.

at least he's laughing and stuff and he has a friend with him, to be all preoccupied and stuff....
i told him he should consider himself lucky he is capable of walking and talking...
i asked how it happened, and the answer didnt really surprise me "messed w the wrong people"

i hate most people so much. theres so much ape-activity out there, drunk people turning into chimps, i have NO respect for it.
i have no respect for drunkenness (i wont go into alternatives... not that type of thread

but damn

out in the hillbilly lands here, people even prepare for fights, when the weekend comes, its not "lets go partying" its "lets go fight someone"

***ing monkeys

Oh no. Your poor bro. I'm guessing since this isn't the first time, it most likely won't be the last. Too bad he can't actually learn from the messes he gets himself into.

Although truth be told, so much of it revolves around the people you hang with. If he's hanging around people that bring on (and enjoy) bad energy, then that's what he'll be wrapped up in.

I thought this was going to be a complaint about the weather. OK, back on topic. I can understand your brother "laughing and stuff" because it's sort of gratifying to survive a good beating. I know that sounds strange, but I think it's sort of honorable, to a guy, to have battle wounds. You know, one of those "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" moments. Plus, it always makes for a good story.

all true, i got some more details of it now, and it happened at a private party. those who beat him up had it planned, as soon as aggression was in the air, they all jumped him.
luckily people interviened, and he isnt hurt too badly, just bloated and bloody, his nose is huge, and hes probably gonna swell up a bit more.

but your right, hes probably gonna get into more such situations, cus its indeed the kind of people he likes to roll with :/

jawbrodt: yeah, i told him that he has "hardened" his skull
also, he was lucky. he got kicked while down, and such beatings can often turn REALLY bad if not stopped by others

I live in an area like that as well... I understand.

Yeah, Fight Club reflects reality. I used to work with guys who actively looked for a beating on 'drinks night'. I think it's a form of masochism.

yeah, its very basic monkey alpha stuff, the whole thing was initiated by one of the guys bumping into him w his shoulder, a clear "hey, wanna fight?", my brother being drunk and a guy allready struggling w aggression issues, jumped at the invitation, not considering that he had no "backup" with him.

hes not a saint himself, its just the whole premise that pisses me off.

get drunk, lose control, turn into a total chimp, and smash stuff up for no reason JUST because they chose to get drunk, and "let go". the next day, they have to pay for broken bones, broken property and so on..

How old is he? I've known guys to go through that stage but usually they outgrow it at some point.

Cowering in fear is no way to go through life. But neither is actively looking for trouble. My advice is to stay in civilized areas. And definitely stay away from Harvard University on a Friday night. Run into the wrong crowd there, and they'll do unspeakable things to you, like force you to calculate pi to the millionth decimal. You don't want to experience that kind of pain and anguish.

24, if he has any more growing to do, i'd be surprised. i think he has a genuine aggression problem, he really needs to sort out. this isnt the first time hes been in a fight, but the first time the odds wasnt on his side. hes just overly confident, with an explosive anger. i have NO way to relate to that kind of mindset, so i cant offer him the slightest bit of understanding there. its something that pisses me off, that lack of control, that animal urge to smash things and smash people, this time it bit him in the ass, hard, so to me its like a bittersweet thing. he got himself a lesson, but first he wont learn anything from it, and second, i naturally dont like seeing him get beat up :/

michilli; no worries, harvard uni is a long looooooooong swim from here ;]

Yeah, but 24 is still young. Even those who seem to have aggression issues usuallly find a better way to channel it. It just might take him longer than most.

i dunno, he has had several oportunities to learn from. there was an incident some years ago, involving booze and pills, where he wrecked havoc to the whole street, litterally, its a miracle he wasnt arrested or anything that night. there was blood all over his flat, and it was all him, on his own, having a rage-fit.

the only thing he learned from that episode, was to stay away from those pills, but he still gets drunk, and he still gets rage fits, where he blacks out, and destroys everything in his path. i think he gets some sort of liberating kick out of it, which frightens me, because this "rewards" him, and makes sure he keeps it up.

he was coping "fine" this evening, untill his ex showed up, and started to stress him, and *wham* he smashed his room into bits, and sprinkled blood all over. now hes at her place, probably smashing everything up over there

of course i HOPE he will relax soon...

Well, it applies to any decent university.
