    Thanks Faithful PJPearl. I'm not sure about special but sure do feel lucky- to be here with you all, listening to Pearl Jam, having a great family. As my dear old Pop likes to say, "Lucky Lux".

    What would really be great would be if this kid were caught and went Johnny Ramone on us and stopped and said, "What am I doing? I'm ruining my life." Small odds but you never know.

    hey Brian,
    just read your post and the replies so far {wow... so much support!} and i can only add: hope you'll be well again soon... sounds like a terrifying thing to have happened to you... lots of loving vibes from across the pond!! ♥
    also: i think you made it very clear that it wasn't a race-issue for you, and that you described the guys that attacked you in a way you'd say that they had red baseball caps on... but i guess this is quite a sensitive issue anyway, ans since i don't live in the States, i don't know how sensitive it can become :\"> {in Holland you can get into similar trouble describing someone as Moroccan or Turkish...}

    on a brighter note: how's the granddaughter doing?!

    Brian sorry to hear that ... The emotional side may take time, I know it would if that was me. Don't let it linger, there is probably a victims support group that could offer help if need be.

    Unfortunately this shit happens far to often this day and age. Get well and be safe my friend.

    Sometimes I do get really pissed off thinking about this but not to the point of violence- just anger and frustration that someone completely unprovoked would attack me. That boggles my mind. ... I just can't comprehend unwarranted attacking. I don't understand unprovoked violence and the kind of mindset that would lead to that.

    This is difficult to work through. It's hard to accept that some people are just bad and are capable of inflicting random damage with no regard for anyone else.

    I am glad you are seeing your neurologist today. Hope all is well.

    Glad to hear your're ok. Unfortunately, being an asshole doesn't have a race associated with it.

    By the way, Jason and Brian-- I forgot to mention earlier-- way to go, staying conscious! :)

    Idiot, lowlife scum who attack people like this simply must have extremely low intelligence, are sociopaths, or could benefit from making marijuana and prostitution legal. I dont know the answer, but thats just some crap off the top of my little fuzzy head.

    Good morning! You guys are awesome. You've all been a really big part of my support system and I'm incredibly grateful for that.

    My wife and stepdaughter are doing well and that's really important and I'm grateful for that and for their strength.

    I'm off to see my neurologist. I'm fairly certain my head is ok but it can't hurt to have it checked out. The spin cycle continues in my thoughts but not quite as bad and it will get better. Sleeping seems to be optional at best right now, haha! (why that's funny, I don't know but laughter is never a bad thing) but that too will get better.

    Have a great day, good friends. Thanks so much again. You guys are the best!

    Damn, that sucks. Sorry you had to go through all that. What quick thinking and work to get the hell out of there. The PD response is beyond silly. Glad you guys are alright. Time is the best healer of these things. Hopefully, you'll get more good news today. At least when you think back on this time, you have some happy stuff to drown out the crap humanity can throw at you.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Hope you're feeling better Brian. Sometimes that sort of emotional trauma can take a few days to process and accept. Get some support if you need it!

    Jason P said:

    I once got jumped by five dudes while walking back hame from the bar when I was in college. They came up to my friend in I and got in our face and while I was trying to diffuse the situation a dude to the left of me just sucker punched me. Instinctively, I grabbed the closest guy and wrestled him to the ground and proceeded to pummel him until another guy ran over and kicked me in my face. I got up and announced that was it and I'm going home ... Which they amazingly acknowledged because they were probably amazed I was still conscious.

    It's sucky to feel a victim. There was no reason that should have happened Brian so I can relate to how you feel .... With the exception I didn't have a wife and kid which probably amps up fuckedupedness of the assault several fold.

    That's the last time I've ever been in a fight. I now profile. Judge your surroundings.

    By the way, the dudes were white. But I was in a townie area, late at night, and was a college boy.

    Holy crap, Jason P, I feel like I got off lucky! You're one tough dude!


    I'm not a tough dude, I'm a lover not a fighter! But I can hold my own when needed.

    There have been a few fisticuffs soirée I've been involved with but only self defense. Never in the last ten years. And never in aggression since the the sixth grade when Ben Adams smashed me on a layup and I had to unleash a JasonP-a-cane on him.

    I'm a man of peace now.

    Doc says head seems to be ok and seems confident it's so. Now if I could just chase away the spin cycle thinking. I'm growing impatient with my mind that way. Just want to move on. Well, at least no major injuries- I'm glad for that.

    Good to hear that you are physically fine. Try to cut yourself some slack on the spin cycle--I know it must be frustrating that it doesn't stop, but it will in time. Allow yourself the time. In the meantime, if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. I've been known to put together cool care packages. :)

    Your words are the best care package I could ask for. Thank you!
