t was around 3:00 a.m. at work. We went to a taco shop for food. Taco shops after midnight are always dangerous. We went to the window, and my friend started talking to these gang bangers. I see my friend hit one of them. I was sitting there wondering why he did that. Some guy then ran up and clocks me in the jaw and loosens my tooth. It ended up being six of them to us two.

I got off the school bus and was walking home. This girl was chasing me and yelling. She was mad I didn't want to sit with her. She took a swing at me. We were between two cars on this main street going up a hill. She was with two girls that started kicking me. She was so pissed. I grabbed her extensions and pulled them out. It's the worst thing you can do to a girl. The two with her started laughing.

I was 17. He was 35. I was messing with his girl. She was in the car with him when they pulled up. She left when the fight happened. He got out of the car and acted like he wanted to talk to me about the situation, and then he sucker-punched me. I ended up with three stitches.

It just happened with a chick I met. She thought the song "Let It Whip" was by the Gap Band. They did the song "Drop the Bomb on Me." I told her it was the Dazz Band, and she got furious. It got so heated. She was up in my grill, cursing. I knew I was right. I finally backed up and said, "Okay, okay. But I'm right." I immediately walked away.

I was at my brother's wedding, and that night at the hotel we walked to get some fast food at the drive-through window. This car kept honking and wouldn't stop. I told him to shut up. I had been drinking since 11:00 a.m. I could walk but was drunk. When he honked a fifth time, I kicked his bumper. He got out swinging, and I got tagged in the face and fell down. As I started to get up, his girlfriend dragged him into the car. I felt my lip and noticed my nose was bleeding. I was super pissed. They drove off before I had a chance to do anything. But he didn't get his food.

I saw a crazy fight with a shipmate in Thailand that found out a woman he was kissing in a bar was really a tranny. He pushed her -- him -- and got punched back. They started fighting as the whole bar laughed. My fight wasn't much of a fight since I didn't get any punches in. It was two World Cups ago. I was working at a bar in Scotland. It was opening day, Scotland vs. Brazil. I didn't know how serious they took it. It was tied, and they scored on themselves on a weird play. People were mad, and I just shook my head and said, "Oh man, that's rough." This guy grabbed me by the back of my hair and smashed my head onto the floor. It exploded my nose and chipped my tooth. I had to get half a tooth while I was there.
