Droppin Bricks
« on: October 13, 2010, 02:50:45 PM »
So the other day I was walking down a stairwell and my building with a crowd of people. My buddy was about 4 people behind me and he yelled "HEY SKINHEAD". I turned around and looked directly at the guy behind me and I swear he dropped a brick or two. I didnt even give him a mean look but he immediatly got this, OH CRAP face. After seeing his distress I just smiled at him and that eased him a little and he grinned back. Anyone else get reactions of fear just because your a stranger and sly?

I am a rather burly guy who whose natural look is one of determination bordering on anger. It is nothing I have ever worked on it is just there. That and the shaved head have served that purpose many times. On occasion it has served me well on and once in a while it has been to my detriment.

Yes and I admit using it to my advantage at times!  O:O

I had something similar happen when I was with my daughter at the playground.  Some little boy was acting a bit aggressive toward my daughter, but nothing I was to worried about.  Then I saw the dad on the other side of the playground who was watching what his son was doing and not saying anything.  The dad couldn't see me and then I stepped around  the playground and when he did see me he instantly shouted out to his son - "son, make sure you play nice!"  I just smirked and stood there.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

I'm a rather intimidating guy and all men fear me, all women want me ................ then I woke up!  :*))


Seriously, I have occassionally felt I gave off a "don't f**k with me vibe" that was taken just that way. Maybe it's the slick noggin', who knows.

Bottom line, I wouldn't f**k with me!  O:O

Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

Another advantage of being bald:  more incentive to smile and be friendly so as not to be mistaken for a hardass!  Unless of course you want to give off that vibe, which certainly isn't a bad thing all the time.
