Sad.

Heather is right; we have several friends who just assume and the rumors spread like wild-fire. It's ridiculous. It's childish and incredibly sad on their parts. And the saddest part of all is - it will never change. No matter what is said, or done...those people will always be this shallow, this callous, this immature. It will never stop coming from some people. At least it's good to have a general idea of who.

I am who I am, and what I am, and where I am in life. I know the score, and those who matter know the score. And maybe coming from me, Mr. Insult-A-Minute, 'immature' is a heckuva label to start throwing around; but at least I can separate bullshit from reality.

But I have bigger fish to fry. I have a job and career to concentrate on, a future to build, and a family to pay attention to. And great friends who know me and what I'm about. The rest of this shit is just something for me to make fun of and ridicule, because it truly deserves that.

And this isn't directed at any specific person. I love all my friends, despite major flaws - although sometimes I question why, in light of certain things. Some I've lost along the path of my life, and with good reason. More will inevitably follow suit down the line. But at least I keep doing MY duty as "friend" and keep trying to be the best I can at that title. I can say that with confidence; they cannot. And I feel sorry for them because of that.

Tomorrow I hang with Mr. Nix. Wednesday night is "Guy Movie Night" at Joe's. The rest of the week is open, and then next week is the new frontier!
