Broke my 7, then my face... (Novel)

So it starts out as a fun little party. A bartender from the place I most often frequent decided to throw a Valentine's Day party. I haven't been to a house party in a while, so I decide to go ahead.

When I get there, I park my 7 right out front. Some guy comes up to me and says I need to move it either into the front yard, or back yard, instead of right next to the carport like it was. As soon as I start to move it, he comes back and says, don't bother, it's fine where it is. I get inside and it's fairly mellow. A well known local band is playing. The drinks are flowing freely. Everyone is having fun. It all seems nice and laid back.

So I decide to start out the night with a 151 and Coke. I'd actually already had a few at the bar before I came to the party, but wasn't really feeling anything.

I sat at the bar for a while, just shooting the ****. All the sudden this woman comes in running from her husband who won't let her go. Long story, got taken care of the right way. His name is Dave. Then this other guy shows up. He's about 5'10" 200lbs and it looks to be mostly muscle. The first thing he does is take two double shots of tequila. His name is also Dave. I remember thinking, wow, this guy will be fun later.

A couple hours and another 151 and Coke later I wander outside. I look out through the window and see that the passenger side mirror is hanging off of my car. So I ask what the hell happened. A couple of people say that the Daves had been fighting, and one of them kicked it off. So I look around and both Daves are right there.

I start asking them what the hell happened to my mirror and why. Tequila Dave gets in my face and rather than deciding to just be reasonable about it, show a little respect, and own up to it, he decides to beat my ***.

According to a friend of mine that was there, this is pretty much how it happened. First he throws me backward into a window, about 4' by 8' steel framed multi-paned sitting on about an 18-24" stemwall. Then I guess he got a couple of kicks in before my friend shoved him off of me. Someone got ahold of him and I managed to get myself up. Then he breaks loose, and takes me down again, this time outside in the driveway. I think he got a good left cut on me this time, because I have a piece of chin about an inch long, and maybe 1/8th inch deep missing. We are assuming this was removed by a class ring or something similar.

Though we don't know all the details of the altercation, here is a list of the injuries: The chin (as decribed above), the back of my left arm is knoted up and bruised fairly well, my left wrist is scraped up and bruised, my left *** cheek is scraped and bruised, I have various other minor cuts to both hands and arms, and my nose is cut and bruised right at the top of the bridge between the eyes.

I told him before any of this happened, that I wasn't worried about it, I had spare parts. I just wanted him to show some respect, and perhaps even apologize. About an hour after this, after I've bled all over myself, and got a part of a tampon taped to my chin to try to stop the bleeding, this guy comes up to me while the host and I are talking about my car, and the spare part, and how it wasn't such a big deal, and hands me $10. I guess that makes it all better.

About an hour after that, the other Dave finally beat this Dave's ***, basically laying him out with one punch, for saying something stupid about his wife. The wife that he'd been chasing, cornering, and completely disrepecting 3 hours earlier. Kind of ironic huh?

The next day, I got the spare mounting plate for my mirror and had it fixed in less than ten minutes. I figure my injuries will be at least a week.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Brian

break all your car windows

break your jaw

poped your tires

killed you

bit you like mike tyson

knocked you out, then removed your clothing and left you naked on the front lawn

gave you jesus juice and molested you


the list goes on.

Sounds like a plan, though I'm fairly certain he's single.

I think the dave that kicked brian's *** didn't have the wife.
**** it takes ***** to admit u get ur *** kicked. I have gotten in way too many fights and i will b the first to say that i have gotten my *** whooped around 4 corners on more than one occasion. Most of them, however, are liek brian is talken about. Give me some Jack Daniels and coke and i am cool. Give me 151, i dun care wild turkey or bocardi dun matter to me, and i got this mouth that won't shut and fists that can't move cuz i get too drunk.
Rule of thumb, if i take my car to a party i don't get drunk/high simply cuz it is my life.
Otherwise, i run in parties screamen, "You **** with me? Yo think fast-- I am never fucked up to where i can't whip yo ***!!"

Damn man i hate those man... dunno what to tell you, ******** will be ********. I haven't ever just gotten my *** kicked without running my mouth, but i imagine its gotta be shitty. The more messed up i get the cheaper the tactics i go.
If all else fails, cup ur hand. Once you get a shot, hit them directly in ONE ear. This will throw off their equilibrium and if it doesn't make them dizzy, it makes em puke.
Then either book it if he is big, or kick his *** right there.
I am not saying i provoke fights, or that i like to, but my mouth gets me in trouble a lot.

My biggest problem was that by that point I was too fucked up to even respond. Those around me helped out quite a bit from what I hear. If it wasn't for that who knows what would have happened, or how I would have ended up.

You make it sound like you were too drunk to remember what happened.

I'm very glad the damage to your car was so minimal.
Contrary to what Zach said, I don't think it takes a man to admit he's had the **** beat outta him...it just takes honesty. (You know when you've been beat up! I speak from experience.)

Sounds like that gash will leave a scar. Take good care of it to minimize the scar.

AND STOP DRIVING DRUNK.
I'd certainly have had more sympathy for your situation if you had'nt "actually already had a few at the bar before (you) came to the party".
Something I have NO respect for.

Sadly, most males with an overabundance of muscles on a short frame are...

Trying to overcompensate for being poorly endowed, trying to overcompensate for being short, and are walking around with massive insecurity complexes - just waiting for the first opporuntiy to break out in "righteous anger" at being slighted.

Sadly, that's been my experience. Although, I do have a few shorter, well-built buddies that according to some mutual ex-gfs are doing just fine in all departments but the temper

Sterling, I share your disrespect for drunk driving. I do however feel that there is a difference between driving drunk, and driving with a buzz. I certainly was not drunk when I drove to the party, and really wasn't even feeling a buzz. The drive involved a good ten minutes on the freeway, something I would never think of doing at any level of impairment. Now some people would say that even a buzz is impairment. I guess that would mean that I shouldn't drive while having my first cigarette of the day either.

Anyway, yes, by the time the fight occured, I was pretty well gone. I was aware of what was happening up until he shoved me into the window. From that point on it all just happened too fast, as my reaction time was obviously dampened by the alcohol.

As far as the "takes a man to admit you been beat". I definately agree with you there Sterling. It just takes someone who isn't afraid to let people know they aren't perfect, or a total badass. Anyone can be beaten, just takes a bigger, stronger, faster, or smarter fighter. Me, I'm no fighter. I haven't been in a real fight in my life. I don't count screwing around with my brothers and friends growing up. We never got that serious about it.

The damage to the car was minimal, and is mostly fixed. Just need to fix the wiring, and straighten the door a little. The mirror currently sits up at a slight angle.

The damage to me is also not so bad, other than the fact that I haven't really felt like myself for the last two days. The chin will heal, and hopefully will not scar too badly. Everything else is just scrapes and bruises, they'll be fine.

Brian

I think you should weigh things in the balance, I would rather have my front end beat in than my FB's front end beat in.

Maybe my definition of a true man or "having *****" includes honesty?

Zach, I kinda figured this was what you meant. That's why I expanded on what Sterling said a bit. I suppose I should have been a little more clear that I wasn't agreeing with the part about being contrary to you, just the honesty part. To be honest (no pun intended), until I saw you qoute it, I didn't even remember that he'd contradicted you, just that he mentioned the honesty part.

And for your second quote. Yeah, my car would take a lot more effort to fix. But damn man, this is one beating I ain't gonna forget. I had no clue the effects would last this long.
