Fuck it. - 04-03-2001
Hate, Anger and I don't take too well to veiled threats.
"Oh I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration?"
Fuck me gently with a chainsaw! Guess I touched a nerve, eh? Jeezus. I can't really say I'm surprised, but I had hoped that it would have gone over better than that. I figured everyone would have started reading the entry, looked up at the date, and then realized what was going on. Some did, some didn't, some decided to just wait and see. Well, if you're waiting for me to apologize or to say I'm sorry, well, don't hold your breath.
Oh, I offended some people? Hurt some feelings? Well, shit, I'm sorry, I thought I was entering an entry into my diary. Where I'm free to post my feelings, my opinions, and yes, my fuckin' jokes. I didn't realize that I was posting in the Diaryland diary and that I have to take into account the feelings of every fuckin' person on the internet. Hell, if I did that, then I wouldn't even post stuff here. There is always going to be someone that's offended.
Oh, and as far as "too well thought out", um...yeah. I've had bowel movements that were more thought out than that entry. This is basically what happened. I had to go into the office Sunday evening to e-mail a few work items home. While there, I took advantage of our T1 line to read the diaries that I read regularly. As I read, and realized it was April Fools Day, a thought popped into my head. "Do an entry like you and the wife had a fight and are getting divorced...it'll be funny because everyone will know it's an April Fools." So, I logged on and started typing. Everything just flowed out as I typed it. The idea kept snowballing and I kept typing. And the result is the entry that was posted. I honestly thought that everyone would be smart enough to realize that it was a fuckin' joke. I mean, there are a lot of intelligent people here in D-land. I consider myself to be pretty low on the intelligence pole, in fact. I actually thought that it would be too obvious and everyone would have caught on half way through the entry. Guess I was wrong. Oh well.
That said, the past is passed. Guess I've learned my lesson, eh?
If you have a problem with me, then you come to me and you tell me. You can insult me, you can shit on me, you can threaten me. As long as you have a point and a valid reason for it, then I'll give you my full attention. If you're going to resort to veiled threats and vague insults, then you can fuck off. Like I said, you can threaten me all you want, but you threaten my children or threaten to have them taken away and you and I are going to have more than words.
A woman gets pregnant, lets the father know and in less than a month, he bails on her, will have nothing to do with her, won't even claim the kid is his (and she has proof), but she has the child and raises it anyway. I'd say that pre-empts any fuckin' test. A young man moves 1500 miles to be with a woman he cares the world for, leaves his friends and family behind, has no money in his pocket, and scrimps and works to raise a child that isn't even his. I'd say that pre-empts any fucking test! You wanna question my ability to have and raise children? You come the fuck down here and you do it to my face. Until you've raised your own children and have a point of view, shut the hell up. No veiled threats of phone calls to "the proper authorities". You have a problem with something I or my wife did (even if it was all in jest), then you come to us about it. You NEVER EVER threaten to take my kids away from me.
We may have financial problems and we may bitch about them, but this is our forum to bitch about what we want. If you're tired of reading it, then go the fuck somewhere else. The internet is like a big TV, only with a lot more channels. If you don't like what's on one, you can always switch to another. Yes, we know that our financial problems are our fault and responsibility, but we don't need you to preach down your nose to us. Next time I want advice I'll ask for it.
I thought diaryland was a place where people could post their feelings and thoughts without everyone taking it all personally and getting all bent out of shape about it. Seems that isn't the case. Grow up people! Fuck! I'm not perfect and I don't claim to be, but at least I've learned not to take everything at face value.
Shit, I'm so pissed off right now that my thoughts are all jumbled. I can't think straight. Maybe I'll just wait until I've calmed down a little to post more or maybe I'll just leave for real. Diaryland has certainly lost all of its appeal over the past few days for me and I think my wife feels the same way. Here's hoping that everyone will just get over it. We have.
