Why do I care?

Hey Hugh! ... or Fiend, or UUUU ... whatever you go by. Wanted to remind you of this, since I know you're pretty forgetful at times (well, some of the times). You're not that bad off man. Don't worry about what you don't have and it will show up, ok?

No seriously man. I'm not joking. That produce sticker on your phone? Remember how it got there? Remember coming home, seeing the phone, remembering all the bad phone calls you've had on it, thinking you have to make the phone look different somehow, so you'd have something other then just the bad memories to think of when you walked by it?
Remember how you "actually" hunted for a sticker to put on it, like a smiley face or something, and couldn't find one? Then you actually thought of taping a hand-drawn smiley face on it, shook your head saying "Now, that's just crazy" and forgot about it?
Remember after you got a peach from the fridge, sat down to eat it and bit into the produce sticker, what you said?

Yup! That's right!

"Don't worry about what you don't have and it will show up, ok?"

So, if you're still worrying about the things you can't change the next time you read this, stop, ok? C'mon, there's a ton more you could be doing right now?

Like finding a way to make the sour things look ok...

When did I change?

I'd like to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to the asshats that completely screwed my day up. It's nice to know that, even though you and yours are NOT keeping a positive outlook on this whole Fathering thing, you can take that extra step to continually make my Life Hell. Bravo!

Now, even though your work was flawless (and probably took little to no effort), there were a few minor tweaks you could try next time for added interest. I'll list them here, in no specific order.

1. Try mimicking her voice tone as well as her wordings. This way, it will be like I'm actually talking to HER, .. wait, apologies .. "getting yelled at by" is a better terminology. Not that I can't hear her in the background, mind you, but as you've claimed, your phone is pretty sketchy sounding, making everything said away from the receiver sound like Charlie Browns teacher. So, for example, sentences like "She's getting migraines because of all this stress. I'm going to take her medical reports to child services if you don't stop." would sound better if you use a higher-pitched, controlling tone.

2. A question like "I told you I was going to see her from such and such a time on such and such day. Don't you remember?" should be answered with "Crap, I wrote that down I think but I don't think I could find it now, place is pretty messy", followed by the sounds of rummaging through something. Yes, I know, this is lying (You DON'T write anything I tell you about scheduling, even though I asked. GOOD!), but it would add an extra level to the whole drama!!

3. Instead of just hanging up on me, putting the phone down and calling me down would be acceptable. It's been done before, so it's tried-tested and TRUE! Good examples of calling me down could be "Grow up and act like a man.", "Why would I let her hang around with someone like you?" or "We ALL think you don't care."

Everything else is spot-on though! I'd say "Keep up the work!" but, that would be said with too much sarcasm. That and, I have absolutely NO doubt this kind of thing will continue for a few more years, until the hate stops.

My Daughter drew a picture a few weeks ago. I asked her what it was. She told me it was her happy thoughts. You see, in my Daughters happy thoughts, the sun is shining, her and I and our kittens have gone for a summers picnic. NO WHERE in this picture was there a phone receiver being disconnected abruptly, no silhouettes of people yelling at each other over TRIVIAL things.






Just something to think about.

the world's not round without you

The calendar does not keep time, the photo album does
Birthday cards are just reminders of how much time has passed
Too much time has passed, and I could not stop the hands of the clock
1/2 price sticker on my sleeve

Ran all the peaceful moments out of town
No room for them in the silent turmoil
The self-guided madness I control
And which controls me

I live in the long drawn-out silences
The empty spaces between the fence boards
I seem to be part of it all
But the absence of me is what keeps it all together

Everyone is changing, there's no one left that's real

Let's talk about being fake.

Fake people will say whatever they can to get what they want. They do this for several reasons; being scared, brought up as manipulative, overwhelming situations, and of course, just to be an arse. I cannot understand why, ... HOW someone could see being two-faced or fake can possibly benefit anyone or anything.

I'm not saying there is not a time and place for "white lies". I tell my daughter on a weekly basis that I'm not sad when she goes home ("because I know you're coming over again next week!"), if only to solidify the fact that she WILL be coming over and to save her having to make a "choice".
Complete.and.total.lie. I work 2 jobs, so as to distract myself from this empty and silent house. You'd think after all these years I'd learn that it only distracts me from doing the dishes, laundry, sleeping, etc.
But, I say this in the hopes she will believe it, and be happy.

Fake people do not tell "white lies". They only tell good ol' fashioned "LIES", re-worded as 'bending the truth'. Fake people usually ignore the situations reality and make up their own reality in their head (one that suits their purpose) and act accordingly, oblivious to how their actions are affecting anyone. There are names and there are faces, but now is not the time for that. It's already passed, and this is the aftermath.

I despise someone acting fake, if you haven't already guessed. I have been plagued by fakers for too long, so now paranoia sets in and labels all. I'm going to have to apologize to everyone for not believeing a single DAMN thing you say, but I really don't. You cannot prove your honesty to me. Perception is a killer, and one of these days a faker will try to warn me of something only to be silently shut down, resulting in my loss.

But, at the very least, it will be MY loss. No one else affected. Contained to only my hemisphere, where the clouds are blue and dark, and all the mail is stamped "Return to Sender".
