Country: " Yeah, I've been to klan meetings" I can say, with good honesty, Country is one of the better bouncers and people that I know down here. Despite what could be considered PURE redneck upbringings, the good ol' boy has a black roommate and loves different and new things. He's smart, and knows his accent sounds "ignorant." "Fuck that, I know 'ain't' ain't a word but it's easier and people understand it, anytime some yankee tries to correct me, I tell 'im to go fuck themselves, I am who I am."
I love the guy, he's honest and hardworking, and smarter than a LOT of people who consider themselves educated.
Fightsboss: One of my bosses, the man knocked a dude out without throwing a punch and knows his fighting. He is also genuinely kind and surprisingly level headed.
Socialite: The man could make a friend in a sandstorm, through him I met Conspiracy and a fuckload of other people. The man can't walk a block without running into a friend.
Conspiracy: He legitimately believes extraterrestrials run our government and have shaped mankind since Australiopolithicus. He plays bass, and supporting vocals in a famous band. He is an actual celebrity and you have seen his band on MTV. The guys is intense as hell, and cooler than fuck. He keeps his beliefs to himself. I recognized and verified his beliefs on an off hand comment.
I have met amazing people down here, seventeen year old bartenders, and forty year old artists who sell their work only at bars. I've gotten drunk with frat presidents and homeless guys. I found a man in a dumpster who tried to grab one of my waitresses ass' and who almost had his arm broken by me. I've fought fights that weren't mine, and seen a racist cop be right. My life down here isn't NY or DC or LA. It's a city, a city I love and a city which protects its own.
-Eight dollars a fight.
