A Ronin’s Journey: Chapter 17

November 2014

Started the month off all wrong. It was a late Halloween party, and I was asked to bring someone and I refused. It was an act of defiance, no matter how much I wanted to rationalize it.

And I did rationalize the crap out of it. 

“He’s drunk.”

“They get on my nerves.”

Then made plans to leave early on top of preparing for an argument. Everything I had sorted out really didn’t come to pass, though.

I talked to one guy about guns, then Bible Study. He’s a lay preacher. Played football with the kids and got a bloody nose out of it. A day later, I still had the dent. I was happy it wasn’t as crazy as 2013’s party.
