Well, I used to like to smoke and drink whiskey.
And then I liked to fight.
I couldn't whip anybody.
But I loved the contact and the rush of like, you know, starting the fight.
But I was in college and my roommate and I went to this downtown bar, which we'd never been to.
And I sat at the bar, and I would start these fights.
You know, just a prick.
And I was sitting next to this big guy, and for whatever reason, I thought it was a good idea if I spit on him.
You know those guys that get drunk?
Yeah, well, that was me.
So I did, and we went out back, and he left me in the alley like a wet rag.
I mean, he beat the shit out of me.
Beat the shit out of me.
I had hair down to here.
And the guy, my roommate, was driving me home in an old Pinto jacket.
And I was leaning on the door like this.
I was so fucked up from getting beat up.
