Don't Poke The Bear...

A short personal note...

I don't understand why my Mother thinks picking a fight with me, over an issue that has nothing to do with me, will help to fix anything. Not a physical fight, I hasten to add... I would never... but if you start throwing baseless shit at me, I will retaliate with answers that have plenty of base

And as mentioned in a comment to an LJ friend the other day, the problem with me, when I lose my temper, is I have a tendency to bring rocket launchers to a knife fight. Mostly because I just want it over with as quickly as possible, the remainder because I don't like losing my temper, as it burns straight through the caution circuits I've painstakingly installed between brain & mouth over the decades & the last thing most people want to hear, is exactly what I think...

I have no belief whatsoever in Astrology, but if there's a trait I share with my supposed birth sign of Gemini, it's that there are 2 distinct sides to me. And one of them is a very angry man. Not a violent one (except for the occasional inanimate object), but one who's seen enough shit & has definitely had enough of it

"Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weak is not what you are going to remember about me.”

Funny... Al Capone was a Capricorn...
