Mr. Busdriver....

Got any empty seats 'cause I need a ride.

BTW, did you just run me over at 60 mph?

It sure feels like it.

**The Reverend Floater** · 03-24-2004, 11:16 AM

Lo siento, holmes.

Start drinking.

**Telephil** · 03-24-2004, 11:17 AM

Nate?

**Ski Monkey** · 03-24-2004, 11:18 AM

Sorry man, but don't worry, we'll be happy to DPPS all your posts today. Now get to work! You know what you need to do...er...drink.

KQ · 03-24-2004, 11:22 AM

Truth....come on board and get a hug....let us clean those tire tracks off you and make you a nice strong drink.

What's your poison?

**iceman** · 03-24-2004, 11:23 AM

A rough damn year for Mr. Truth.

Sorry, man.

I guess that I should be getting on too, but I think I might just mosey on down to that purdy lil' next stop I see.

Sorry, man.

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty beatdown bro. Gonna be a long slog back to par. This one is as painful as it gets. She was a great match for me. Over the past week she became a bit reclusive and distant. My suspicions forced me to break her trust and delve into her diary and phone records. My fears and recurring dream were confirmed. The confrontation ensued yesterday morning. I had been living with her for the past month while my loft is being remodeled and by the time I returned from work last night the locks were changed and my shit was packed in the garage. I moved into my P's house to wait out the last few weeks of construction at my place. My room there is filled with pictures of Walker (my dog RIP) and I hit a new low there last night.

That just blows ass. Just keep your chin up and remember that bitches like her have absolutely no effect on snowfall nor gravity.

Damn. Sorry to hear that.

Whoa

Edit: I want to clarify my "Whoa." What is amazing to me is that not only did she keep notes of her misdeeds but also she apparently kept them in a location easily accessible by the person she was "misdeeding."

And to those who may say...."well perhaps she needed to unburden herself" I say "perhaps she shouldn't have been doing things that caused her to feel burdened.

Beyond that I will not comment - I was not there and the only two ppl who truly know what happened are Truth and his ex.

So.......I say......Here's to you Truth and your pursuit of Love, Trust and Happiness.

ahem....

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

There's no place in America with more single women than Chicago. Helicrackjunky's lady's has countless cool female friends for you to meet.

Remember what you told me a week ago: life is beautiful.

Looking forward to hosting you in St. Louis for wakeboarding and debauchery.

Best!

Yeah, I felt pretty pathetic reading it, but my intuition is usually spot on. The irony is that I bought her the leather bound journal.

FYI, It's not a good idea to keep a written record of your lies and misdeeds.

KS...I hear ya bro.

**Beaver** · 03-24-2004, 11:51 AM

That sucks truth. The bus generally runs you over as it stops to pick you up.

**Mulletizer** · 03-24-2004, 11:51 AM

That sucks massively man. Hope you feel better soon. To that end, I advise the tactic Hop employed this time last year in a similar situation: the drop-everything-for-a-2-week-Yurp-trip move.

**Viva** · 03-24-2004, 11:53 AM

Dood, that's ugly. Sorry to hear that things turned out like this. You need a long bus ride...take a nap...you'll wake up and some very nice stops will come your way.

I must tell you, however, that I concur with the above post. If things are getting weird, you just need to confront- stay out of someones personal stuff.

Wow, I think we must have dated girls brought up by the same parents.

Same thing down to the journal I bought her about 5 yrs ago.

Chin up, your better off finding out now than further down the road. Just a bump in the road before meeting someone much better than she.

Not when the stakes are this high. All is fair my man...all is fair.

**The Reverend Floater** · 03-24-2004, 11:57 AM

I had one experience back in college where I found out in a rather indirect and unpleasant manner that my gf at the time had been cheating on me. I was soooooooo in love with that girl that I was absolutely crushed and completely blindsided.

My immediate reaction was a bit unorthodox and not really physiologically healthy, but it honestly did wonders. I locked myself in my apartment with a bottle of Jack Daniels, some Coca Cola, some grass and one song on repeat for two hours:

Lyin', cheatin', hurtin, that's all you seem to do.
Messin' around with every guy in town,
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new.
Always the same, playin' your game,
Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you,
One of these days and it won't be long,
You'll look for me but baby, I'll be gone.
This is all I gotta say to you woman:

[Chorus]
Your Time Is Gonna Come

Made up my mind to break you this time,
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry.
Do want you want, I won't take the brunt.
It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore.
Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay,
Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart.
People talkin' all around,
Watch out woman, no longer
Is the joke gonna be on my heart.
You been bad to me woman,
But it's coming back home to you.

Blurred Elevens · 03-24-2004, 11:57 AM

Truth, that blows, but look on the bright side.

You now don't have to seek "permission" to stay out late, spend money on what you want to, do whatever the hell you want, when you want, not be responsible for baby-sitting her emotions, being concerned about saying the right things. You'll have more money to ski anywhere in the world whenever you want, only to find even better and hotter girls that can treat TRUTH better.

If it does not kill you, it makes you stronger.

You are TRUTH, have no mercy.

Werd. Even though it might not be obvious this early, the mang has a point here.

Yeah, ethically you are right. But if a girl just lies whatever you confront her with then that doesn't get you anywhere. It just leads to more friction, upset, confusion and so on. Knowing someone you love has been lying to you but won't admit it is one of the most difficult things to deal with. You know that it concerns something significant enough to continue perpetuating the lie. Pretty destructive to the relationship.

You might say that if things have reached that state the relationship should end. But it all gets a load more complicated when the emotions are strong.

I have been there too Truth and understand what you did.

I'm generally not supportive of snooping around, but keeping a written record of your lies... not the best idea. While I don't know exactly what she did, I'm going to guess invading her privacy wasn't nearly as bad. Confronting her with no evidence - just seems fairly pointless.
