Waterfront Festival

#WHAT?!

Yep a blog post not about code.

Went to the waterfront festival last night and today - Today was uneventful and just fun times with the wee ones.

Yesterday however - OOOOOOF A Doozy of a Clusterfuck.
The Drama that unfolded was crazy- All over a teddybear.

So my second youngest, was playing a carnival game. She legit won the large bear, but the carny was arguing that she gets from the top row and this tiny teddy is on the top row.

First thing I did was look up the value of the teddy- (cause I've made a killing at carnivals that didn't know anything about collectables) Confirming it was a generic everyday teddy- I told him no. She won give her the big teddy -

To which the carny responded with and I quote.
"Your little cunt will take what she gets and be happy"

To which my response was to grab him by the hair slam his face down on the counter,
and begin to shove 1 1/2 bags of cotton candy down his throat while punching him any time he
would try to make a move.

Alas - I was pulled off by the police , who promptly cuffed me.

After a discussion, and about 20 witnesses explaining what happened.
The cop just uncuffed me , and said he would of done worse.
lol

SO... yea - Drama.
But it's all good.
Knuckles and elbow are a little sore.
He moved out of the way of one, punched the counter lol.

I'm good - We're good, it's all good.

So , whats the point of this post?
I'm not boasting.

Instead I'm explaining my Shame.
I had a moment of weakness. I've been training my whole life to fight so I never have to.
And I end up bullying a dumbass who just made a mistake.

I hurt this kid, for what? A Word?
The word shouldn't have any power of me; yet the sway it held was unstoppable.
I couldn't control myself, it was pure rage.

So I aim to do better;
Act more responsibly ;
And just Be Better.
I was not my best.
And as I always say

Be Your best
