since getting clean again I have stopped hanging out with some "friends" of mine
one in particular (call him "J") is really not taking it well, for a while I was nice about it and just politely declined his invitation to do stuff with him(since he is always high or drunk or both!
)
since then, other people I know not so well have told me about some some horrible things this guy has done to others and that he is now talking all this trash about me, though I have gone out of my way to not speak ill of him at all
but things became intolerable when he started telling other people that someone we know (call him "F") raped another friend of mine (call her "A")
not only did that not happen, I was there the night it supposedly did
and so now caught in a lie, he went on a war path, making enemies of all of us
the last straw was when he threatened me if anything happened to his belongings that I was kind enough to let him keep in my garage
so I told him last night that he had 2 weeks to come for his stuff or I would throw it out and to stop using my address to receive mail
thats when he flipped out beyond all belief, now he is a big guy, 6'5", a bouncer(when he can find work) now he not only got in my face, but pushed another friend of mine out of the way right before pulling a knife on me and standing over me with it, trying to scare me or something
all I could do was laugh, since I know not only what a coward he really is, but the simple fact is by coming up so close to me and raising the blade the way he did, he made it easy for someone like me to not only disarm him, but likely stab him with his own knife if he actually had decided to take a stab at me
however, my friend and the other 5 or 6 witnesses were quite startled by the incident
so much so that I am now wondering if I should not press charges or something
I have a feeling I meant to stop him from doing this sort of thing again
now that I see him for the bully and coward he is, I feel I must act
I know doing so will only make me look like the kind of over dramatic fool he is, yet to just let him get away with it seems so wrong
