Why do you blame the creator for your problems?

I don't blame the creator for anything.

Nope.

If I did choose to kick a cripple down a staircase it wouldn't be the likes of your worthless ass!

I paid into the same system you do.
It is an insurance policy.
Auto insurance works the same way.
You haven't payed ME a thing.
But, keep feeding the Pentagon war-profiteers.
So, shut yourself up DUMBASS.

I love my country... more than you do, or I'd just smile and agree with every dumb thing it does.

So, whatever happened to, "Mike, you're awesome! You're a good guy...blah, blah, blah...?"
I told you that you'd be right back here arguing with me over some dumb sh!t.

YOU? Give ME money?
Yeah, right!
That'll be the day.
To you, I'm just being lazy.

Go groom your mullet, you stupid redneck.

Feel the love

Mike, I feel I owe you an apology. There is no excuse for what I said to you. I had a moment of weakness. It has been a stressful weekend my stepson wrecked my wife's car AGAIN and I am having problems with my teenagers. I kind of feel like a whimp because no matter how bad my problems are they most likely pale in comparison to yours. Please except my sincerest apology. I do think you are a good person. I don't agree with your politics or atheism.
Having said that it is your right to believe what you want and I have NO right to condemn you for it! Again I am sorry!

I'm sorry you're having a rough week.
I want to accept your apology.

But, there is one thing I should let you know about me.

I am very hard to get really mad.
I am very slowwww to anger.
But, I never completely forgive or forget...ever.

The psychiatrist I was seeing attributed this to Avoidance Personality Disorder.
I had never heard of it before.

The leader/singer of our last band is just discovering that...15 years late.
My girlfriend's sister is just discovering that, also 15 years too late.
They're both trying to be friends with me now, giving me gifts and sh*t.... and I want nothing to do with either of them.
A guy that I used to be friends with when we where kids, over 30 years ago...can go rot in Hell now for all I care.
F*ck him.
His dad died and I'm actually happy about that.

Maybe it's a curse from having a long memory or something.
But someone on my shitlist could be on fire and I wouldn't piss on 'em to put 'em out.
If anyone expects a deathbed conversion, they can forget it.
People I don't like who show up for that will hear my last words, "F*CK YOU."

It's probably a character flaw, I know.
And it's not very "Christian" of me, after being raised Pentecostal and all.
I can be the best friend a person has ever had if they're cool with me.
But, I can also be their worst enemy if they betray me or really piss me off.

That is just how I am.
Sorry.

Now that is one BIG human being, being gracious.

No worries Mike. I actually prefer folks that tell me how they feel! I would rather hear a PHUK YOU, than a knife in the back! Don't EVER say your sorry for being you!
Thanks for excepting my apology!

P.S. I don't expect you to forget! If I phuk up again I do expect you to give me a HEARTY PHUK YOU JEFF!

I make no apologies for anything I say or do... I 'might' apologize if i have truly hurt another person, when it was entirely uncalled for.


Interesting concept ; 'avoidenace" personality...
Symptoms

People with avoidant personality disorder can't stop thinking about their own shortcomings. They form relationships with other people only if they believe they will not be rejected. Loss and rejection are so painful that these people will choose to be lonely rather than risk trying to connect with others. -ADAM Medical Encylclopedia

Mike, that's an interesting character trait. I'm hesitant to call it a flaw though-

Let me ask- do you see any difference between people who betray you vs. people who just piss you off for a different reason?

I used to hold a grudge. People would wrong me and I would expend a great deal of negative energy planning my revenge. A personal "friend" cut me pretty deep in a business transaction once and for a while I quietly planned his execution. I'm not proud of those moments.

A wise man once told me that holding a grudge or seeking revenge is like drinking poison and hoping the other guy dies. It hollows you out and dehumanizes you over time. They win, you lose.

It took me a long time to accept this idea but he was absolutely right. Now I am over it and simply choosing to forgive and forget works for me. It is a sound method of self-preservation and keeps me focused on my many blessings instead of continually replaying my disappointments. I have accepted the fact that the universe is essentially self-correcting and that we reap what we sew. Carrying around hate, a grudge, or exacting revenge is now someone else's problem.

The Dalai Lama said that.

I wouldn't call it a grudge.
I'm not actively seeking revenge.

But, I understand the kids who shot up the Columbine school.
I could have easily ended up like them.

I could have blown my head off like Kurt Cobain.
I sympathise completely.

Meditation helps.

Punk rock is like scream therapy and group therapy combined.
Rock & Roll is not just mere entertainment for me.
Art is very precious.

Let me ask- do you see any difference between people who betray you vs. people who just piss you off for a different reason?

Not really.

I suppose I categorize people, in a way.

People who are friends.
There may be only 2 or 3 people, at a time, that I would actually consider a friend.

People who are aquaintances and colleagues.
The people I have to interact with daily.
We get along.
But, I probably wouldn't really consider them friends.
I might just say they are friends, as a convenient way to avoid explaining myself.

Everybody else.
I want nothing to do with at all.

It's a common misconception that Vulcans on Star Trek have no emotions.
This is not true.
They are EXTREMELY emotional.
The discipline of logic helps them to control their emotions and gain inner peace, in a zen-like state of being.
That is what I usually strive for.
An absurdist sense of humor helps too.

That's why, when it comes to revenge, you have to act quickly...

i'm a lot better at letting stuff roll off my back than i used to be.

one thing i know for sure, for better or worse....i'm most capable of extending forgiveness and overlooking slights, callousness, and just plain ol' dastardly deeds from people i've shared those special musical moments with.
