Zenister 0 #1 January 10, 2004 you know them have seen them all around and perhaps even let them feed off you on occasion unwittingly and willingly.. dead beat in laws, siblings who cannot find life for themselves, husbands, wives and girlfriend, who use you, draining you like a DC battery where current only flows in one direction....why cant the world be AC? now i've been played for a fool...given far to much to those and 'let it ride' hoping wishing the veil would lift from their eyes..and now one of my oldest closest friends feeds on the carcass of my last relationship, i should have seen it before...the signs were all there... hes NEVER pursued a woman on his own. NEVER had any long relationship that he did not 'slide' into... two of my previous ex's hooked up with him sometime later...at the time i did not care, really didnt even notice, wished them well and be happy together as our relationships were over mostly amicably anyway.. and now while i am away deployed at an inopportune moment in a slowly growing relationship... he slips in quietly smiling all the while and stabs me in the back, plays the 'nice guy', laughs, and jokes and parties with the woman HE KNEW i wished to be my wife, until the weight of moments conspire and suddenly 'love' blooms betweeen them...and naively claims to be 'following his heart' as if he could not see the end result of his actions, denies he ever meant to hurt me or our friendship.. and has the audacity to suggest in a joking voice that it is my fault for having such great taste in women...two hundred years ago i would have handed him a sword and killed him where stood...betrayer well i hope his heart is worth our friendship because its over, and he is numbered among those i would not piss on to put out their flaming corpse over and done then, i wash my hands of the both of you, efilgnikcufecin, the spear of karma will bite you, but my hands will not wield it as i wish to never soil my soul with your like again..perhaps the next time your in the back country and the weight of cold sliding death is crushing your chest, as you sink into her deep blue embrace perhaps you'll realize in that moment, that the one who would have never stopped digging isnt there to help you as you werent there when he needed it most either... fucker. sincere apologies to all who read this spit and virtol, i wish i was enlightened enough to accept such betrayal, shrug my shoulders and let it slide away, some day some day i will...for the need to rant and vent and rage...soon soon i will find a door and leave it all behind to be free again...wandering the face of the earth and flying its lower atmospheres... Ticks & Leeches Suck and suck. Suckin up all you can suckin up all you can suck. Workin up under my patience like a little tick. Fat little parasite. Suck me dry. My blood is bruised and borrowed. You thieving bastards. You have turned my blood cold and bitter, beat my compassion black and blue. Hope this is what you wanted. Hope this is what you had in mind. Cuz this is what you're getting. I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this. I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this. Taken all I can taken all I can, we can take. Taken all you can taken you can, we can take. Got nothing left to give to you. Blood suckin parasitic little blood suckin parasitic little blood suckin parasitic little tick Take what you want and then go. Suck me dry. Is this what you wanted? Is this what you had in mind? Is this what you wanted? Cuz this this is what you're getting. I hope, I hope, I hope you choke.____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdgregory 0 #3 January 10, 2004 Zenister, When I was in the Marines I had a girlfriend that I was mad about. Was going to marry when I got out. My brother went home from the coast guard and stole my girl. THAT's the worste betrayal. Years later I can say this with the most sincerest heart, I am glad he did. When I was dating her she was beautiful and that helped me overlook any personality flaws. Better to lose someone unfaithful before marriage. Becase let me tell you marriage does not make them faithful. My brother and her broke up and six years later we ran into her. She had ballooned and worse she had been divorced. Her ex-husband caught her cheating on her. BIG SURPRISE THERE! She had the audacity to ask us if we wanted to hook up with her and right there in the mall we laughed at her. And as I listened to her talk I realized how greatful I was I never married her. I thanked my brother at that moment. Then I punched him in the chest because I never got to do it when he stole her. We laughed and went on our way. I have a great wife now and I never would have met her if I had married Lori. I met my wife less than a year after Lori pulled her "brother swap". Right now it hurts like a bitch but rest assured you will be greatful later. And trust me your friend will get his. She just might sink her meathooks into him and he will end up miserable.

slug 1 #4 January 10, 2004 Zenister Sorry about you finding out there's no Santa Claus, Easter Rabbit, ot the tooth fairy. It not healthy to go thru life bitter or pissed off, however now you know the rules of the game so now you have a equal chance to win in the game of life. I try and give most people a fair chance to screw up once but the screw up rate is very high. So know I just have the attitude you know everyone is a asshole except you and me and I'm not sure of you. After being confused for a long time why peope screw with people I learned a lot by watching my three dogs. They were all the same size but the alpha male controled the other two by restricting access to the other dogs food and water supply, bedroom etc. People are the same way. I believe A lot of people feel insecure so the make themselve feel superior by belittleing others. There also is this thing about power and control if you let them they will. After a while you'll be able detect who these people are real quick. First time same on them second time shame on you! You don't have to be bitter or paranoid just beware! I've had the same best buddy (the wife) for thirty years. IWe treat each other as equals Now I only have two dogs the alpha male is gone. I still get screwed by a leache once in a while but it's rare & never a surprise once you look for the signs they stick out like a sore thumb. I never get srewed by the same leach twice. No sceaming or yelling wailing or flailing. I just immediatly minimize my exposure. Trust no one and believe nothing and you won't be disapointed! But of course you can trust me can I borrow a dime? Start looking around at the clique's, and the sweet young things and male dogs at the DZ. Life's a game it's your choice if you want to play, just be prepared to lose once in a while and pay up. Or watch the action and enjoy!R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #8 January 10, 2004 At least you hadn't married her yet!!! I managed to stay married for all of two years. After I was married about 6 months or so I started a grueling TDY schedule. Over the next year I spent 265 days or so TDY. My "wife" just couldn't keep her pants on while I was gone. It's all good though.....the guy married her....now he's stuck with her and the 30-40 extra pounds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallRate 0 #10 January 10, 2004 Quotethe 30-40 extra pounds. Yeah, what's up with that? Do women fast up until the time they are married. I've never been there, but I have a few friends that are there. Maybe I should ask this in the Women's Forum... Nah, I prefer my jewels attached.

sdgregory 0 #11 January 11, 2004 Eric some women are lucky enough to hold on to their figure no matter how many kids they have. Others gotta work hard at it and still others just do not give a damn. Depends on how much they gain during pregnancy too. And yet still others balloon without having kids cuz they figure they got their man and do not need to take care of themselves. And then other women after marriage care enough to look good for their husbands that they have sexy figures until they die. I know few of these but among skydiving wives they seem to be the norm.

vonSanta 0 #12 January 11, 2004 What a fucker. That's not a parasite - that's a bloody virus. I feel for you man. However, as you said, karma will hit that guy, and hit him hard. The nice guys/girls/listeners will be screwed short term simply because of their very nature. I still believe that longterm, perhaps thans to lessons like this, they'll come out on top. Slug wrote: It not healthy to go thru life bitter or pissed off, however now you know the rules of the game so now you have a equal chance to win in the game of life. Yeah I agree there is a disctinction between cynical and realistic. However one of the properties of cynicism is its ability to infect one's perception of what is real - to sort of piggyback on what's "real". So one has to be careful. So know I just have the attitude you know everyone is a asshole except you and me and I'm not sure of you. Hm, are you sure this isn't counterproductive? That attitude didn't really bring me much good, probably because it was a product of the bitterness from experiences rather than the experiences themselves. Being cautious is one thing. if you're overly suspicious you might just be doing the self fulfilling prophecy thing - people will mistreat you because of it? Zenister just got stabbed big time and from what I have read he did nothing to provoke it, so obviously the above isn't the case for him. I am not sure that it is wise to take the behaviour of one idiot and extrapolate on the whole of humanity. I guess despite all I have more faith in my fellow man than that - or at least I try to have (I fail now and then). They were all the same size but the alpha male controled the other two by restricting access to the other dogs food and water supply, bedroom etc. People are the same way. We are social animals and there is a hierarchy, this is true. It's also true that there are other social structures than dominant/submissive found in our species behavioural pattern. Not all are good - the sneaky virus relationship pattern Zenister discovered too late is one. But there are good, decent, healthy patterns out there. We tend to make films about 'em, but when they happen in real life, they're much better than what Hollywood can portray. After a while you'll be able detect who these people are real quick. First time same on them second time shame on you! Yeah: learn from experience. Preventing a knife in the back ain't the same as being cynical. I still get screwed by a leache once in a while but it's rare & never a surprise once you look for the signs they stick out like a sore thumb. I never get srewed by the same leach twice. No sceaming or yelling wailing or flailing. I just immediatly minimize my exposure. This is the best response I've seen and know of. Just cut away, take your losses and move on. In Zenisters case that'll take time though, considering the seriousness of the situation. Best longtime friend, the dude you're supposed to trust for almost anything, and he does that? Makes you lose faith in people. I really do feel for Zenister and hope this won't fuck him up long term, which is why I'm writing this response . Trust no one and believe nothing and you won't be disapointed! And you'll be left with a loveless life of distrust, with a lack of faith for your fellow humans, always considering what motivates them and always thinking that it's something selfish. Which it might be, probably is. But it is worth remembering that some people feel good doing good stuff to others. It's still selfish but at least it's good to others. There is *some* hope out there, despite it all. Start looking around at the clique's, and the sweet young things and male dogs at the DZ. Life's a game it's your choice if you want to play, just be prepared to lose once in a while and pay up. Or watch the action and enjoy! Heh, I'm just chilling with a beer watching 'em play their game. I like my own game better, coz I get to set the rules . It's been the key for my contentment/happiness. Their rules are just as absurd as mine, so why not go for some that are fun for me?
