Empires End IV: The Albatross VII

We cannot avoid meeting great issues. All that we can determine for ourselves is whether we shall meet them well or ill.

The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.


When I put something or someone in my rear view mirror permanently, i do not look back. I made that mistake only once in my lifetime. It was a bit odd that yesterday I wasn't somewhere I normally would have been. But these last few years have to stand for something and I can't sell everything away just because it's fucking money. It means something, victory or failure I'm not sure yet, but the one thing I know for sure, it's enabled me to stand and fucking fight on my own two feet, on my own terms the last few years, either the last of it stands as a monument to a relationship taken away or it is the last of a memory that should have been shared. It means something, it will always mean something. I am a lesser man for him not sharing the adventure. But there are things leftover that belong to him, and no amount of money is going to convince me to let it all fade away.... I made a choice to walk away from it in the fall, now it's time to leave it where it should have been a long time ago, remembered, but dead... It served it's purpose, it proved it's worth, on more than one occasion, but like a lot of fucking things in my reality, it's in my past.... It is something that should stay dead, just like everything else, bad things happen when you resurrect old ghosts.... Trust me, my skeletons have been rattled enough.... Too many people have used this thing I built for it to ever matter much to me anymore, it's like anything with money, people always have ulterior motives or want something for nothing and don't care how the get it, I've been there, the difference is, even now, this has always been a job, a source of income, but now even that purpose has become flawed and self defeating, I'm not the type to be taken advantage of, and I'm not chasing the last fumes of a few dollars. It's ended, it stays that way. No regrets, save one.

The patience level is becoming extremely low and it is time to reevaluate things. Money is owed, it's not freely given and when I'm feeling like I'm being taken advantage of over and over agian, its a warning sign, it's time to seriously consider what my options are, trying to ignore things and just make this work into July and august until I have some resolution doesn't make sense anymore... Neither does walking away, but there is the fact that I do feel sold out, that I'm not important. I don't like being treated like a wallet and when it's obvious that's my only current contribution to the relationship, maybe it's time to walk away, it's pretty sad that I'm the only person this toy thing has never been fulfilling for, I'm not happy, I need to take the rest of it and stick it in a fucking glass case and pretend that it means something, I need to be done, the longer it remains a source of income and not my personal collection I will never be anything but miserable. It has to stand for something. There has to be something left, even if he has outgrown the hobby. This is a memory for me, not just an income, sadly for the most part, like most things in my life, it's not a good or happy memory, but that's like most things in my life, even if it's momentarily happy or a good thing, eventually, it all turns to shit, every time. I don't like feeling like I'm sacrificing to support someone beyond my means, and I've been doing that for over two years, once upon a time it was due, I'll give her that always be eternally grateful, but there is a point when I'm being fucking used. We are past that point. If I can't be there, if it's not being solved and feel like I'm the only one truly taking a stand, you know what, I'm one of those people that has always judged people by their actions, just as I have always been judged by my actions and behaviors, right now, actions not words of others are speaking very loudly to me, and it's clear what's being said, but not what's being done. it's time for actions and actions only to speak loudest of all.. because that's what a man is judged on... and what a man judges other people on. i hate not having control and i am frustrated when i don't trust agenda's.

A brave man could conquer fear, he had learned that, but perhaps only for a time. It was something the young did not understand, the way it could gnaw at a man, the way it came back stronger every time, until you were alone and gasping for breath.

They left like you knew they would. They went away and you fell like a stone. All the way to the bottom of your room. I see you, yes I see you. Sitting in your chair, hating every minute of it. Falling like a stone without even moving. It hurt you to know that you were right about all the shit you wanted to be wrong about. They always leave you. You put yourself in the right place to get left.

Those who choose differently must suffer the consequences. They must take the pain their decisions bring.

Father and Son.

I dont know the next step. I don't claim to. I just know I'm working to rebuild a relationship that has been fractured for many years. That includes both of you. I am here. I will always be here, I have always been here that will never change  This weekend was epic and it felt right. I don't know what will happen but i do know that I am at peace with being civil and polite with your mom. It was nice to have a little adventure as a family. It felt right. It what was missing in our lives. Thank you.

  I want you in my life. Don't ever fucking confuse that for needing you in my life. Those two things are mutually exclusive to each other. I'm fine with my life and it's not my freind's and my social life that I'm jealous of. We both made our choices. My life has always been an insane carnival. You were merely an extended chapter. But if you think I'm going to sit at home being sad and depressed and shutting down because your not in my life. Your delusional. Then agian we already know this. If my life is going to be a sad comedy then I'll make it a metal massacre. I'm not sitting around waiting for anyone. The least of all you.  I sacrificed enough time on the altar of what might have been. I'm just enjoying the time that we have left. This way if it go out, it's on my own terms. I always told you that my funeral pyre will be a blaze of glory.. I just never told you when.  Now I'm gonna live and have adventures. Remain jealous. You know how ...

The Villian

I've never gave a rats ass about being the bad guy. But I have cared about being a fairweather freind and how I reflect on being a role model to my son. I will walk away from any bad actors or bad relationships that endanger the relationship I am slowly attempting to rebuild.  I know I can be a prick. But when you hurt someone I care about, I do not trust you that you may affect those I care about. I burn bridges with gasoline while I'm standing upon them.  It wont be the first multiple decade freindship ive demolished, it won't be the last. Im starting to reevaluate a lot of drinking buddies agian to see who is actually something and who I just party with. If I'm obviously moving in a direction thats going to have me ghosting someone whose been around for a minute, so be it. It wont even be the first one this year. I dont look back. And I dont care, if I exclude you from my life, thats an ending that's where its done.  I am making choices for my future and its pret...
