3/2 Personal Reflection (pride)

Once i had a friend that he had too much pride and he thought that everybody had respect for him. He always tried to bully people and he always thought that he was the boss out of our little group when we used to kick it at lunch. Also he thought he was a gangster but he would never fight with no one. If he said something and they were about to beat him up he would say, "im going get my uncles on you and they are from southeast". So me and my friend got pissed ofand f we told him "why do you always say that, why don't you just back yourself up and protect yourself" and he was like "fine what ever i don't care". So we told him "than i guess your not our friend no more!"
This reminds me of the Iliad because Achilles had too much pride and that made him a lost of things and a lost of friends. Also Achilles had an excuse to not fight because in my opinion i think he is a coward, as the same for my friend he was a coward he had an excuse for not fighting.

Ooooooohhhhh... Someone just got burned XD

I really like how you try to keep things simple in your blog. No need for long anecdotes and crazy metaphors, you just say what's on your mind straight and clear.
