nine years

[danceboy]

Well, after nine years and one month of being able to say "I've never had a problem where I live", I had one. On the T home from work, I was attacked by a young man who I believe was showing off how tough he is for a girl.

I'm fine. I have a very dramatic scrape along the side of my face. I need new glasses.

I'm trying to decide if this was actually a function of where I live or not. I'm currently leaning towards "no".

Alright, that's depressing.

I was thinking that it was like how martial artists famously make bad bouncers; you can be the deadliest guy in the world, but if you aren't a big primate some drunk and/or idiot will take a swing, then you have to hit back...

If larger guys (who might also be martial artists) aren't safe from random mishigas, then our species has some severe evolving to do.
