People often attempt to lure Angelo into a fight. He goes out of his way to ignore them. Fighting is something he doesn’t want to do. Now don’t get me wrong, he’s not chicken, he just doesn’t like to fight. That’s a good thing. It keeps his pretty mug from being messed up with black-eyes and split lips. Angelo just doesn’t want to hurt anyone, although he knows he could. Bobby |

Angelo is showing his strength by not engaging in fights ~ even when others egg him on. He's the winner by default. He keeps his pretty face, he doesn't hurt anyone, he doesn't get into trouble, and his parents don't go broke paying legal fees! Angelo's a pretty smart cookie, I'd say!  Linda |

Dear Linda, Angelo's good that way. When Angelo had his first job, up at a mattress factory, someone would taunt him about his appearance. Felix (me) told him, that kid wants to fight you, you gotta fight him. Angelo just looked at Felix, and said, I'm not going to fight anyone--and that was it, he didn't. He didn't want to waste his time. After a while, the kid stopped bothering him. Angelo could have beaten anyone in the hood up. He was/is just that strong. The work at the mattress factory was hard work. He was kind of a pack mule, dragging a big saw through layers of foam. He wore out multiple pairs of shoes doing that.

Some people are just born smart and know a waste of time when they see it. Ida |

And some of us are born dumb and need a beat down to become as smart as Angelo. Ah, but that was an angry past, lol! ·´~`·»Brett«·´~`· |

Those of us born to fight are balanced out by the Angelo's of this world. Thank God for the Angelo's! A |

Hi Bobby, when I was a little boy I used to bully around a lot and after I grew up I totally changed to a clam and a quiet person and very one thought I was a timid person. This reminds me so much of myself, only that Angelo was not a bully when he was a little boy. Prasad "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Thanks dear Alison, That seems to be the way it is. I'll have to write some about Angelo's big brother--the big man on campus. Bobby |

Thanks Prasad, It's good you grew out of the "Bully" phase, and became more like Angelo. Bobby |
