Thinking about when I lived in LA a literal block from the Echo Park lake and I tried walking around it one night to calm my mind but then guys were emerging from the trees and by the bathrooms like "tsst, tsst" and I was like "oh shit that's still a thing"
anyway also thinking about how the dojo with my sensei Richard Alexander Mesquita was just north of that on Sunset and how ever since I can trivially go against guys like “if you resist I might…” in complete confidence that I can kick their asses
