if i didn't care

I still get nervous that high school kids are gonna beat the shit out of me when I walk by them on the street.

Nervous can be good. Yesterday evening I witnessed a kind of epic brawl erupt instantly between kids on the 3 train in Brooklyn. In 10 years I’ve never seen anything like it. After some bystanders got jostled, it cleared the train, which had been full, and moving. No weapons (drawn), just lunging, tugging, and action-movie inspired swings and punches, most of which connected. Along with: See, I’m not some punk. See.

Testosterone and adrenaline. It’s only in retrospect you realize the reckless power of that combination.
