Homer, after running into you around the board, now you've got me looking all over the board, to try to keep up with your progress. You can still post all over but how about coming here to keep us updated on how you're doing. I'm too old and fat to chase anybody anymore.

I appreciate your concern, I really do.

This evening, I'm on the top of the rollorcoaster. I'm doing ok. I had to talk to my wife today and everytime I talk to her, I go down in the dumps. I came home, cooked some pizza, listened to some love songs, cried, laughed at the boys on That 70's show, practiced a little guitar until my fingers hurt and then played at the cellar. All in all, I think it's a good night.

I'm going to be on this emotional rollorcoaster ride for a while. On May 4th, we go to court. Luckily, we are trying to do this as peaceful as possible, no lawyers, no fights. Just "let's get this over with" attitude. I dread May 4th. I don't want to go. I can't even fill out the paperwork. I do a little each week until it's complete.

Anyways, I'll keep you posted. And thanks again for your concern.

Yes, you will be.

But if you're determined to be a better person after it's all said and done, then you'll be fine.

Cool. I forgot to mention before, rather than looking for dates, look for friends. Friends of either sex can help you validate (to yourself) that you're a decent person that people want to hang with. They can also fill in bunches of time. Oh, and stay away fom sentimental music, it just beats you up.

Watch your back, she sounds ruthless.

[homerjackson]

She may sound ruthless, but she's really not.

She could have put me in a financial ruin and then left, but she didn't. She went as far as to make sure everything was paid off before we split. I have no debt at all. She even helped me set up my finances, since she's been doing it for us for 10 years. and she's great at it. I never dealt with any of it. She came over and taught me how to pay the bills, which bills come out of which paycheck, and everything else. I really needed it too.

If she wants to take me down, she could and unfortunately I'd let her. Her family wouldn't. They really love me. We got along great. Her sister even sent me a sympathy card saying that she will miss me and that I should come and visit sometime.

I'll be ok that way, no worries there.

And yes, I'm looking for some good friends to hang out with. I can't start a relationship right now, even though I really want to, it would not be fair to the other person.

And as far as the sentimental music, I like beating myself up. It helps sometimes.

we all do it, don't we? that's why that music sells. You don;t listen to it when you're happy, it's all about expressing feelings that you couldn't name. Some songs that you hear today will forever remind you of this time. So, listen to the shit out of them, and when you decide that you've grieved enough, avoid them at all costs.

Here's a good one:


the cure. like cockatoos

She walked out of her house
And looked around
At all the gardens that looked
Back at her house
(Like all the faces
That quiz when you smile...)

And he was standing
At the corner
Where the road turned dark
A part of shiny wet
Like blood the rain fell
Black down on the street

And kissed his feet she fell
Her head an inch away from heaven
And her face pressed tight
And all around the night sang out
Like cockatoos

"There are a thousand things" he said
"I'll never say those things to you again"
And turning on his heel
He left a trace of bubbles
Bleeding in his stead

And in her head
A picture of a boy who left her
Lonely in the rain
(And all around the night sang out
like cockatoos)



or pretty much anything else by the cure.



or this:

Led Zeppelin. In the light


And if you feel that you can't go on. And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong.
In the light you will find the road. You will find the road
Oh, did you ever believe that I could leave you, standing out in the cold
I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through to the very depths of my soul.
I just wanna show what I'd give you it is from every bend in the road
Now listen to me
Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was and really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me, oh, I would share your load.
Let me share your load. Ooh, let me share, share your load
And if you feel that you can't go on
In the light you will find the road
Though the winds of change may blow around you, but that will always be so
When love is pain it can devour you, if you are never alone
I would share your load. I would share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me
In the light
Everybody needs the light.
In the light, in the light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah
Light, light, light, in the light

COOL!! I got dibs on the ceramic insulators!

Hey Homer, we're gonna need help moving Bruce to the "home" and taking turns wiping the oatmeal off his chin and boxing up his doodads.

Wanna help?? You gotta bring the beer tho - seeing as how you're the new guy and all.

[homerjackson]

No problem, I'll bring the beer.

I'll bring the paperwork ...

[xoxoxoBruce]

Et tu, Wolf? Or do you just want to get me in one of your private cells?

[xoxoxoBruce]

You see Homer, you don't need a wife. Just stick around the Cellar awhile, you can get all the abuse you need right here.

[homerjackson]

Bruce,

That was the one thing I didn't miss
