Recently stopped lupus-causing, liver-toxic antibiotics after nine months. I suppose that's for the best. Had been planning on drinking to make up for lost time, but recently my wife had a brush with an unpleasant "admirer", and sobriety has seemed the wiser course. Since her cancer, it takes very little threat to her to put me into angry caveman mode. Two phone calls and a probably unrelated van repeatedly cruising the neighborhood pretty much does it.
Note to world: do not cruise my neighborhood. It's boring, and I might hit you in the face if you do it too much. Sorry in advance if you just like my street.
Received "Complete Krav Maga" and Marshall Rosenberg's "Nonviolent Communication" in the mail, will begin classes on the former within a week. Saw, laughed at, rejected, then embraced contradiction in philosophies of nurturing peaceful communications and preparing for ruthless violence. Decided compromise approach will be "Step one, initiate no harm, emit no hostility. Step two, do not react in manner which will escalate threats, defuse hostility with empathy. Step three, if threat or hostility remains, fuck empathy, beat threat savagely with all tools available."
