I am obligated to start this one by saying this topic is 100% a guy thing. I am sorry ladies, I do not know a single one of you who can relate. Granted, I have never asked, but still my intuition speaks to the male mind. 

Now that’s out of the way, let’s jump right into it. I really want to get into a fight. Like a good ol’ brawl, a scuffle, an exchanging of fist pats. I just have this urge, this need to fight somebody. Not anybody of course, I am talking about standing up to bullies or I don’t know – Kim Jong Un or someone. I think I could take him.

And that is the heart of the issue. I keep thinking, “I could totally beat that guy in a fight”, but I have never had a chance to prove it. I want to know what is the strongest person I could win in a fight against, which would also inform me as per what animals I would be able to beat in a fight. No prep time either, just like a “in line at Walmart” type fight, or a “looked kind of funny at me” kind of thing. Totally spontaneous, unscripted (though WWE fighting would be sick), just two guys brawling. 

This must seem a little bit out of character for a guy who has been previously preaching about being good and kind and all that. But listen, I am just articulating one of the prevailing varieties of inner thoughts that I have. 

It’s usually either urges to jump off of high places (I am pretty sure I could pull a human wingsuit maneuver), fighting people (as mentioned), or stealing stuff (it’s just too easy). 

And it must be said I don’t actually want to fight anybody. I mean first of all owie, it would hurt, and second of all there are better ways of solving issues (most of the time). It’s just some kind of manly desire to just fight something, and I would say such a cool one liner too like “You wanna ooga my booga?” and then kick them in the throat or something.

I am still working on the one liner but it was between that and “Try and feel me” which has obvious issues. I would sound like a fruity escape artist or something… not the vibe I am going for. 

I don’t like this train of thought and am moving on now. 

Since we are both thoroughly confused as to why I am wasting your time with this, let’s move onto the modern implications of my devilish urges. To fight people, I realize “devilish urges” left too much room for comfort. 

As I said last time I wrote, times are kind of crazy and awful. There are tons and tons of things and people to be very mad at right now. And beyond that, there are times where I am able to accept all the craziness and approach it kindly and with patience, and there are times like when I am writing this, where I am fed up and want to put all these old politicians in little boxes, then store them in that endless Indiana Jones storage facility. 

Much of the population at the moment would agree with me in being fed up (maybe not the little boxes thing), and my point in writing today is not only to express my own weirdness, but also to reveal the immense amount of unfocussed power that is slowly being funnelled towards the current American administration. 

And if you have been a consistent reader, yes, it’s unfortunately a little bit of politics time. I hope I may still be enjoyable to read, and please know that I do not care what your political position is. If you think I am wrong I would gladly talk with you about it, as well as simply listen to your views. We do not need any more divisions, I am simply attempting to point out things I see as purely bad, so now that is out in the open let’s get on with things. 

I am often around people my own age during college, shocker, and I often find a very similar call to action as my need to fight something. While my body yearns for a more physical altercation, it is just as acceptable when my peers feel the need to vocally stand against what they view as a wrong thing. It’s definitely not just a young person thing, everyone feels some urge of some sort. I just think that the younger the person, the more likely they actually steal the thing, punch the person, jump into the river, etc. 

So, when something as absolutely rotten and bothersome as the current administration comes along, it really triggers those confrontational emotions. I mean, I have never wanted to punch someone as badly as I want to punch our president. 

I will add though, that you need a really good sign for us all to use those emotions and not just feel them. I mean, I wouldn’t drive to the White House to punch him unless certain conditions were met, I am not just gonna waste perfectly good punches anytime. I wonder at what point will the standard young person be unable to do anything but resist some of this awfulness which is happening. 

I don’t know what the limit is, but I feel like we are approaching it. The point of no return. The point at which the average, indifferent person finally cannot fail to get up and fight. 

This all sounds really ominous, geez. I really am curious. I do not want my country to fall into shambles, and would greatly prefer that the time where my young friends finally get up and get moving is before an utter collapse in society, but I don’t know, I guess in the apocalypse I could finally fight someone. For cheese or something. 

Actually, everyone, let’s let the apocalypse happen. I wanna fight radioactive fish.
