So…
On Saturday I went to the Parker Country Festival with Emily, Bianca, and her friend Heidi. We went to enjoy the festivities but ultimately to see a free concert with the Eli Young Band. I had never heard of them but Emily and Jory love them so I thought why not? They are country rock and AMAZING!! If you do not know them, look them up. They had a few good songs but their song “Faith,” I really enjoyed.
So after it was over the girls wanted to get autographs so we crowded around the gate where they would be signing and waited. Then there was this semi-tall, skinny guy wearing a cowboy hat, who had a bad Irish accent. He kept pushing Bianca, touching her, and pushing up against her. I would have thought he was just trying to get to the front of the line if he was not laughing saying “I’m moving in on you baby.” I heard that and looked back. I have never seen Bianca look more uncomfortable.
So I nicely asked him to step back and not touch her. Well he got in my face and started yelling at me. I stayed calm, grabbed Bianca, and calmly said that I was simply asking him to move to the side and not touch her. He continued to get in my face.
At that time my adrenaline was pumping. Now, most of you know I am the most anti-confrontational person alive. I will do anything to avoid a fight or argument. Well when I saw the look on Bianca’s face I did not care. I was ready to beat the **** out of this kid. Luckily, I think he realized and decided to step away to talk shit. I put my arm around her and stepped away from the crowd.
So there was no actual fight but I was darn close to it. That is so unlike me and my heart was pumping for about a half hour after. I was surprised at myself for having those fighting feeling – but I guess we all have out breaking point. I was ready to fight. Happy I didn’t, but punching his lights out for making Bianca feel that way would have been satisfying.
Moral of the story- fighting is not always the answer and we all have our limits.
Peace, love & apple pie-

Well, I'm one of the most confrontational people alive but I think you definitely handled it the right way! That kind of thing is exactly why I just stay home most of the time! :)
