Title: Bring It.
Post by: Saxman on April 27, 2014, 01:08:08 AM
Out of work, book not selling, the woman I love just got engaged to another man, and now my bourbon is wearing off. Can anything else go wrong before the weekend is out?

I could name a number of such things, but... Sounds like the sorta thing the rules are there for.  Just not much point in stirring up really black vibes, yeah?

Take it easy Sax.

You can come shoot me down, look for the Knight G-14 with the skin Rob Zombie would choose. I'm logging in soon.

Hope things get headed the other direction for ya.

Sorry to hear Saxman.  Things will turn around for you.  Good things happen to good people.

Sorry to hear man, that sux (especially the part about "married another man" - that's gutting.)

Breathe in, breathe out. Repeat.

I'm the LAST person on earth you want to hear this from, but I think there's an old saying about the measure of a man being how he reacts to disaster. Hang in there.

Yep.  Been thru the same as Sax describes.. You can't do anything about that dead-end, but you can make the best of it.  It's a giant, possibly life long hurt, but.. It's a good hurt.  If you use it well, the rest of your life burns "Good".  Sooner or later you can make peace with the hurt and still keep that fire burning.

IMHO unless the other guy is Jesus, keeping your head straight this way, it's really hard - if she's decent - for the other guy to not seem at least that little bit less respectable if/when she sees you again down the road.  At very least he'll not have gone thru that trial by fire, and more likely he'll also have been slacking. Resting on his laurels.

It's good to binge and purge (e.g. dissolving in booze) if you have to at first, but eventually it's a waste of time.  There's no point disrespecting, torturing yourself for what she does or doesn't do.  If it's truly love then it should, eventually, inevitably lead to a better outcome - a better you.  The rest of it - work etc, that is more like routine.  If it doesn't kill you, it strengthens you: “We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”

Your computer can get a virus.. your dog ends up pregnant.. your mailbox can get run over.. you mistakenly use preparation H as tooth paste.. and tooth pastes as a Preparation H.. your car gets repo'd by the guy your ex is marrying...

Look at it this way .. it could always be worse.

Yeah you could be a 5yo in a childrens Hospital dieing. You could be looking for dinner in a garbage dump. 18 mos in a 3rd world crap hole allows me to keep bad times in this country "on the real".

Im not trying to embarrass you. We all have feeling like your having when things dont go right, but keep it in perspective. Its sounds like the woman wasnt worthy of you. If the book aint selling then learn from it and write another. And lay off the booze. It only makes things worse. Good luck.

I don't know about you guys, but viewing any photos or movies containing Jaime Pressly usually brightens up my day.

Life could be worse. 

Your toilet could be plugged.  Your leg could fall off.  You could lose your hearing.  Your place of residence could go up in smoke. Someone could announce his intentions for a third term. ICE officials could knock on your door and detain you then tell you you're "going back home to Bolivia". You could have the mange. Your previous meal could have been loaded with salmonella.  Etc etc.

So whatever your troubles be thankful you have what you have and do the best you can do with the punches life throws your way. Head up and trudge onward. The sun will rise tomorrow. 

I'm sure you'll walk out of this just fine.  Best of luck.   :salute
