stormcrowley is progressing rapidly. something really clicked with him a couple of weeks ago. it was a very unconventional class session, but perhaps the most necessary one we've had in recent time. he understood in a new way, and it has clearly changed him. he's got confidence. his memory has improved tremendously. he's taking decisive action to make his life

You're damn right you won!
and don't worry about the `coldness` Your body is evolved to look after itself when faced with violence. I think we are taught to fear the side of our nature that is self-preserving. I felt quite disgusted and deeply ashamed of myself last year when I beat that drunk guy to the floor who was attacking my boyfriend, yet I should not have felt that way. its a force inside of us that we would be poorer without. After all it would be wrong not to intervene if you saw these 3 men jump somebody else who was totally undeserving of an attack, you have to give the same fairness to your own body as you would to someone elses.
I know what you mean though. This aggressive streak in my that bursts out of me when it is needed feels alien and uncontrolled, but I know that side of my nature, if carefully tethered at all other times, will be a friend to me if Im ever truly attacked.

Heck ya Yay You! I assumed that you had lost because of how upset you sounded about the fight, and that it was three young dudes that ran up on you. No offense, but I didn't honestly believe that you could fight. I mean I know you said you could, and I knew you could easily handle my ass, but taking on three dudes unexpected is pretty savage shit, my friend. It's good to know that you can do that if you need to; it's good to know that the streets really don't leave you after you leave the streets. You've outgrown Xhaos but he's still there when you need him. :) And yeah, coldness is probably good in flight/fight encounters. It's only when you live from a place of emotional detachment or when you are unable to share any warmth with people that there is a problem. You really don't wanna be the dude shouting "we're supposed to be brothas!" when you're getting jacked for your car at the drive thru, ya know. Anyways, congratulations for being a sav, and I hope you enjoyed that 8ball.
