Somebody hurt my sister on Friday. Not physically, but he went after her emotions...

You see, what happened was I was having lunch with my friends at the time. And I dunno, maybe 30-40 minutes in, I get a call from my little sister (long distance call...) and of course I pick it up, since it must be serioius enough to waste my frickin' money!

When I pick up I just hear crying, and stuff... And long story-short some kid was making her feel bad for not doing well in sports! She was in the provincial finals for Trple Jump and Long Jump (making history by being the youngest to be in her categories - ever) and this kid who's not even athletic. Jerk.

You know, as men (and women too I guess...) We Protect Our Own. Now, I didn't beat him up, and that's exactly the point I'm trying to make.

You don't just go around beating people up... Just intimidate the s*** out of them :-p

Be reasonable, just get them to apologize, and stay strong. They'll be intimidated if you stand your ground. However, I have built a reputation and that's something to keep in mind! Your reputation is just as important as your actual skill level... Maybe a little more.

Take a look at Justin Bieber, for example.. Ugh. This kids music (in my opinion) is terrible and he's still famous, and raking in tons of dough. Lots of people recognize that his music isn`t that great, but it's "okay" and he's famous. He even built up a solid reputation from his YouTube channel.

So he was already known for being a singer, and Usher (his promoter) just pushed it over the top to make him a superstar.

Now, you can't just lie and not be a fuckin' badass motherfucker. You need to be able to delvier. But you already knew that, I just need to keep people off my back.

So, next time you're thinking you need to protect your own, just keep this in mind.

Your reputation for being a badass, and actually being a badass go hand-in-hand. Build up a reputation, and problems solve themselves.

Oh - and that kid - let's just say I've never seen anybody in my entire LIFE apologize as quickly as he did... And he apologized twice. Maybe three times. I just talked to him, never said I was going to beat him up, and only asked him to apologize. I didn't even remotely yell, I just needed to utter a few words.

So! Go ahead and be a badass, and I'll see you next time.
