Tales of Tom

The Gi joe hunt was really fun, he was really competitive, and would go out of his way to rub it in that he got a good deal or some rare figure, it was like an rivalery knowing he was out there hunting down the joes score better deals and ammassing a bigger colection, real geek kinda stuff, but it was fun, cause rubing it in was half the battle, . and tom was good at it,

as a matter of fact,
thats how most of our fights would happen, but it wouldn't be just me and him it was all these other people who got tangled up into som BS tom was putting forth, it gets complicated
the only thing i can relate to it was sports, one story , when were in highschool, and in atheltics, we took general athelics and we put in with all these montley assortment of classes, we were the king, or the oldest,
well one time
there was this real mean stoner, they was called this back in the 80's they wore heavy metal black t-shirts blue jeans long hair, typcaly most were not week types more like the assholes of the school always walking around with a chip on there shoulder,
this one guy mike stillwell, was in our class, and PE class and he didn't like tom at all, tom would go after anybody, not being mean but start trying to joke with them in an underhanded kinda way, and he would not stop, if he thought you were tuffer than him and tom couldn't fight either, he was to uncordianted and stupid about it, but would be calling you names consantly,(he had three older brothers who hazed him all the time)
Well mike and tom would have some words but tom being a good ass kisser had figured out the coach hates this guy and everytime he would say somehting to mike, he made sure Winston was around, our head coach, so mike not wanting to get in trouble, which was an ordeal with this guy, too calmed down,
As a matter of fact ,
come to think about this i got into an situwation with him, in dodge ball, i rember slaming him once and he fliped out and ran up to me and wanted to fight but i rember saying" its only a game, there is no fight about this,rember, its olny a game"
afterward, i rember he came up to me and said that is psycholologist said he has anger manament issues and thanked me for not esclating the inncident, humm
he realy wasn't that bad, but, still a asshole bully

So tom on the other hand couldn't stand the fact that he thought he was a tuff, guy, trying to scare everybody, and one time when we were playing foot ball or tag foot ball he ended up sacking him, as a quaterback, , i think it starddlled him and he fell back, but poped up and started chasing tom all over the field, it was halaious,!
it was like something out of a cartoon . toms bow legged gall-up and mike about falling and tripping trying to reach out and grab him in every manical effort to grab him while he was running,
as they spun around the field, Tom saw the coach and ran over next to him with mike on his ass
the coach grabed him and put him in a bear hug, Winston was a big guy like 6'4 half indian/german very lean probably in his early sixtys tough, farmer tough, he was also part of the orginal Quaker's Friends Church , that settled the region years ago,
Well he held mike down , and tom after catching his breathe, started in on him, " you think your mister tuff guy now, its just a game, "... etc, he went off on him about how inbalanced he was and how people are sick of him, , this while mike was creating more ways to kill tom in a spue of nastyies, that in our new school system would had him in jail over domestic highschool terrorism treats.
the whole thing calmed down, and mike swore he would get even, ?
did he ?
i don't know, but an inccodent like this would be a week point, for him, he tom created more foes out to get him, and he had a perpensity to make more,

One of the things i realised about tom much like serge, was that if some one was to follow them around they would creat thousands of funny but trajically idiotic storys, no one could create this mess, more or less write about it, they never saw these storys as funny but they thought i was dissing on them , for bringing up these bad tales

a concern for a reputation in the light of mischieve is the signs of a mind who refuses see what they do,..

I always saw anyone who claims they were "riped off" taken advantage of" or disrespected" as a habit...

you spot it you got it

buyer beware with you your dealing with... Years after all this i would talk to tom about these tales he thought they was funny only in respects that he knew i liked him, but the knee jerk emotion to rear back and try and embarass me was always there except i don't give a fuck what studpid things happen back then,. a total lack of narritive or self insight, bringin up storys or idea about "why" would be like questioning a pitbull on what they do's what they do's, there is no blackbox recorder on the plane down.....
