    <content type="html">First I want to apologize for not being very active when it comes to keeping up with journals.  That's not going to change anytime soon.  Things are getting rough.  On top of the depression I have a lot of homework to do.  I have so many papers to write and presentations to prepare along with studying for finals.  This semester will be over in about another month so i'll have two weeks off to enjoy.  Don't get me wrong, i'll still be stopping in to comment and write when I get a chance but it won't be often.  If you need/want to delete me feel free.  I completely understand and there will be no hard feelings.  Take care and wish me luck!  Later.</content>

    <content type="html">Ironically, i'm not listening to music now.  I'm watching television but I just felt like doing this post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've noticed that lately, probably around late last year, that when I hear a song i'm usually trying to find the sound of the bass guitar.  Good bass playing can make me listen to a song that I think sucks.  I've tested this and have noticed that songs that I didn't really care much for are more appealing after hearing the bass guitar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess this is why I like listening to bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and No Doubt.  Flea and Tony Kanal are great bass players and they'll keep you bobbing your head to the music.  I heard something that just blew me away though.  It was on Tuesday.  A guy that I work with and I were going to Genuardi's and he had this cd in.  It was Bela Fleck and the Fleck Tones.  Great instrumental stuff.  I heard this bass solo and was really caught off guard by the sounds that this bass player was producing.  The guys name is Victor Wooten and he is the best bass player in the world and I dare you to prove me wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended up looking online and he has a cd&lt;img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002030.01._PE17_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg" alt="A Show of Hands" /&gt; that he released in 1996 I think.  It's simply incredible.  The whole album is basically this guy play a 4 string bass and there is occasionally a voice here and there.  This guy, on just a 4 string bass, could put alot of actual bands to shame.  Now I know this isn't for everyone.  Most just want that catchy tune, but if you like to listen to people that can hold a conversation with you through their instrument then you've got to hear this.</content>

    <lj:music>No Doubt-It's My Life(The Singles 1992-2003)</lj:music>
    <content type="html">Well, what to say here.  To everyone that still reads this pile of rubbish.  Thank you and Happy New Year.  I'm not really into New Years Resolutions but......nah, nevermind.  I'm not going to make any.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure my life will continue to be boring, but I will try to post more.  I know some people really like reading these things and it's a helluva way to kill time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess i've been through alot of stuff that I've left out of this thing.  I guess even in now I fear judgment sometimes.  I'm just going over some dates that are in my day planner and moving them over into my new one.  I know it's hard to believe I even bother with them but I need them.  I'm surprisingly forgetful.  I have birthdays to remember and now I guess I have to remember how long i've been dating Josh.  I know it was early December.  I have a date for it but I have to check it, seeing as I kinda pulled it out of thin air.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't worry, my entries aren't going to get all sappy now.  Although this is my longest relationship to date.  I believe it'll be a month next week.  Yet I remain very skeptical.  I don't know, it just feels weird.  I kinda have get that feeling that i'm supposed to be alone, there is actually some comfort that comes from that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December was a hell of a month.  What a way to end 2003.  I got ripped off twice on ebay and once on amazon.  I got the money back from the ebay ones on New Years Day.  I wonder how far the secret service goes with those investigations.  I didn't really believe that the secret service was getting involved but I don't know.  In this day and age why would anyone bother trying to rip people off on the net.  By being on the net you've created a trail that's damn near impossible to get rid of and then you go to a site whose business is putting people in touch to do business.  If you rip people off then you affect that company's business so of course they'll make an example of you.  It's not worth the risk for a couple hundred bucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also in December my grandmother was hospitalized.  I know this makes me sound like a bad grandson but I didn't know she was as far along in age as she is.  I called her on Christmas Day, she was back home.  I wished her a Merry Christmas and she seems to be doing better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whoa!  This entry turned out to be longer than I thought it would be so let me end this here.  Thanks for reading if you took the time.  I'll try to post more.  Take care.</content>

"Don't worry, be happy" - Worry, need money&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;43. You wore like, EIGHT pairs of socks over tights with high top Reeboks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;44. You wore socks scrunched down. - I'm starting to think the fact that I still do is a bad thing&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;45. "Miss MARY MACK MACK, all dressed in BLACK BLACK BLACK" Or, Ms. Susie had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell (toot toot) Ms. Susie went to heaven, the steamboat went to... - I can remember doing this stuff with my nieces a few years ago&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;46.

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By the Bell," the ORIGINAL class. - Yeah, even the characters that were there for only one season and some of the support characters&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;54. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - I guess it depends on the song&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I look back over that I see that I can suck the fun out of damn near anything, lol.  It also appears that there were some tell tail signs of my sexuality growing up that even I missed.  You'd think the crush on Joey McIntyre would've made it so damn obvious.</content>

    <content type="html">It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If                     &lt;br /&gt;we see you wearing $350 Prada sneakers, and carrying a $600 Gucci Bag,                       &lt;br /&gt;we assume you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a                     &lt;br /&gt;raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money                           &lt;br /&gt;better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need                     &lt;br /&gt;a raise. If you dress in-between, you are right where you need to be and                     &lt;br /&gt;therefore you do not need a raise.                                                    &lt;br /&gt;                                                                                            &lt;br /&gt;SICK DAYS                                                                                    &lt;br /&gt;We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If                       &lt;br /&gt;you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.                              &lt;br /&gt;                                                                                            &lt;br /&gt;PERSONAL DAYS                                                                                &lt;br /&gt;Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year.

There is nothing you can do for dead                     &lt;br /&gt;friends, relatives or co-workers! Every effort should be made to have                        &lt;br /&gt;non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee                       &lt;br /&gt;involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late                         &lt;br /&gt;afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour                      &lt;br /&gt;and subsequently leave one hour early.                                                       &lt;br /&gt;                                                                                           &lt;br /&gt;RESTROOM USE                                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. There is now a                        &lt;br /&gt;strict 3 minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes,                       &lt;br /&gt;an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door                       &lt;br /&gt;will open and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your                       &lt;br /&gt;picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic                      &lt;br /&gt;Offenders" category.                                                                         &lt;br /&gt;                                                                                            &lt;br /&gt;LUNCH BREAK                                                                                  &lt;br /&gt;Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to eat more,! so that                     &lt;br /&gt;they can look healthy.

    <lj:music>Linkin Park - Faint(Meteora)</lj:music>
    <content type="html">I am so bored right now. I'm sitting here watching Scarface, been listening to music on and off. I wanted to go out, but I know if I go out i'll spend money. I did enough of that yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just feel kinda weird. I haven't felt this way in a good while. I didn't miss feeling like this at all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's that feeling of missing someone I guess. I just don't know what to do with myself. I am too familiar with this road of "recovery". I've traveled down it far too many times. What is it about me that makes me so gullible and willing to believe things even after I say I won't? Then on top of that, I come here and whine afterwards. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been trying to analyze myself I guess. Trying to figure out what's wrong. What is it about me that pushes people away? Why do I lose all of the people that call themselves friends. How come most of them only talked to me while I had something to offer them and when they got it (or didn't get it) they moved on. Why is it so hard to find just one good friend? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know some of it is my fault. Like with Anthony. I guess maybe I over reacted, I wanted too much from the friendship. The problem is if someone you call one of your best friends disappears for about 3 months without returning phone calls, emails, etc your views on the whole friendship change. So you can't just call and expect things to be the same as the last time we talked. I know i'm weird and I shouldn't let it bother me so much, but I can't help it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that's bugging me is the whole situation with my student loan. I just paid half of the bill and told them i'd send the other payment on the Friday after the one that's coming up. They want me to send it this week coming up. I don't get it, it's the same month just a different week. These people get on my fucking nerves. On top of that I always get the operator that sounds like they haven't been speaking English for very long and they tell me to repeat myself because they didn't understand me. Of course that comes after the insults of me not making an effort to pay the bill that I just called to pay. Some people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right about now I have about $100 missing from my bank account. I don't know were it is, I've been watching my money and of course it isn't on my statement. If it's not on thing it's another, but most times it the one thing and the other. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhoo, I think i've done more than enough whining in this entry. I'll save some for later.</content>

    <content type="html">I'm not even sure where to start.  I'm just sitting here at work taking my lunch break. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of an entry I read in someone else's journal, we've spent the morning talking about that old case with the lady suing McDonald's for the hot coffee.  After reading that entry I understand a little more about where the lady was coming from.  No one agrees with me.  I guess it's a split type of thing, it can go either way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What else is going on?  I got wrote up yesterday.  I was coming in on Friday, but it would've been late.  I called my boss and told her that I was still an hour away but was still coming.  She told me that she was going to write me up either way so if I wanted to just turn around and go home I could.  So, of course if i'm feeling sick, barely got any sleep, and am going to get written up either way i'm going home to take that cold shit and go to bed.  Turns out if I would've come in I wouldn't have been written up.  Oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been chatting with &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;span class='ljuser ljuser-name_milkchocoholic' lj:user='milkchocoholic' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://milkchocoholic.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://milkchocoholic.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;milkchocoholic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; everyday since the end of November.  We're gonna get together at the end of the month.  I'm really excited about that.  There's a lot more too it but i'm not sure how to put it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a call from an old "friend" lastnight.  We were kinda close at one time, at least I thought so.  He tends to disappear for months at a time and then calls expecting everything to be the say.  I can't do that, so I guess he's mad at me now because he thinks of me as rude now.  I just couldn't think of anything to say, we can't just jump into a conversation the way we used to.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm also worried about some family members of mine.  My grandmother is in the hospital.  I hope she's ok, I gotta try to get in touch with her soon.  There is also some stuff with one of my cousins.  Now that I think about it, a couple of my cousins are having problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gotta get back to work now so I guess i'll try to up date later.</content>

    <content type="html">WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE BLACK PEOPLE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were a total of 15 passengers boarding a small plane on their way to&lt;br /&gt;Florida. One black mother and her child were on&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;their way to visit relatives while the other passengers consisted of the&lt;br /&gt; KKK on their way to a convention.&lt;br /&gt; The plane took off and after flying for approximately 12 minutes an&lt;br /&gt; announcement came over the intercom from the pilot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;saying: "We have overloaded this flight. We are going to have to start&lt;br /&gt; throwing luggage out the window so the plane won't go down." Two minutes&lt;br /&gt; later you could see luggage being thrown out the window.&lt;br /&gt; Five minutes after that, the pilot made a second announcement. "We are&lt;br /&gt; still experiencing problems. We're sorry, but the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;plane is still overloaded and we're going to have to get rid of some of the&lt;br /&gt; weight so the plane won't go down."&lt;br /&gt; "We're going to have to ask some passengers to jump out of the  window&lt;br /&gt; when we call you by your name. To make it fair, we'll go alphabetically.&lt;br /&gt; We'll start with A. Will all the African Americans please jump now?" The&lt;br /&gt; black woman and her child continued to sit. The pilot came over the&lt;br /&gt; intercom system. "Next is B. Will all the Black people please jump now"?&lt;br /&gt; The Black woman and child continued to sit. The pilot came over the&lt;br /&gt; intercom system again. "Next is C. Will all the colored people please jump&lt;br /&gt; now?&lt;br /&gt;   All the KKK was now staring at the mother and child. The black woman and&lt;br /&gt;   child continued to sit. The child then looked up at her mum and said:&lt;br /&gt;   "Ma aren't we all of those?" The mother then replied to her daughter,&lt;br /&gt;   "Baby, we niggers tonight  and the K's come before the N's."</content>

    <content type="html">What a fucking week.  This is part of the reason that I increasingly hate holidays.  Aside from only having myself to talk to I ended up getting sick.  Now my mom is finally back in Philly and she wants me to come get her.  When she called me yesterday she said she wouldn't be back until 5:00 P.M.  She called me back lastnight telling me that she would be here at 9:00 A.M.  Now, I haven't been to the bank yet.  I usually pay my bills and shit like that before I start messing with my money, but you gotta do what you gotta do.  So she calls me at 8:30 this morning wondering why i'm not down there waiting.  Let me remind you that i'm still sick as fuck.  I tell her i'm on my way.  I get cleaned up and run up the street to the bank.  Then I run back, but the train was early.  Now I think I did pretty good considering i'm sick and the run up and back is about 4 minutes each way.  I passed out on the steps when I came back inside.  I just got a call from my mom asking why I hadn't left, I told her and she gets pissed at me.  She tells me to call my aunt on three way.  She asks my if she can pick her up but my aunt says she doesn't know how to get there.  Even though she took us there the first time we went and that's also where she picked us up when we first got into this area.  Anyway, my mom was telling my aunt what happened and basically blamed me for it.  I don't know, I guess I whine too much.  Time to suck it up.  Gotta head out to get the train.</content>

    <content type="html">How long has it been since I last posted?  I guess it doesn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was going through a phase, I guess, where nothing really seemed to matter.  For the most part I liked it.  I got used, dissed, etc. but I didn't care.  Unfortunately, I think the phase is over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be stuck home alone for the holiday and immediately following the holiday is time to pay more bills.  Yay for me.  I guess on the bright side I can afford to pay my bills.......well, atleast put something on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess i'm just looking or a constant.  I want to get away from the past, but it continues to haunt me.  I keep having dreams about my childhood friends and past relationships.  Blah, just got a lecture.  I forgot what I was going to say, actually I just don't feel like typing anymore.</content>

    <content type="html">I got this in email and found it kind of interesting.  *Note: I have not checked these facts so i'm not sure of their accuracy.*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OKay.. I hope no one is offended by this but its really interesting..&lt;br /&gt;thought i would share.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GEORGE W. BUSH&lt;br /&gt;ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I attacked and took over two countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent the U.S. surplus and bankrupted the US Treasury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shattered the record for the biggest annual deficit in history(not easy!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set an economic record for the most personal bankruptcies filed in any 12 month period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the stock market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the first president in decades to execute a federal prisoner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the first president in US history to enter office with a criminal record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my first year in office I set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any president in US history (tough to beat my dad's, but I did).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, I presided over the worst security failure in US history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set the record for most campaign fund raising trips by any president in US history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cut unemployment benefits for more out-of-work Americans than any other president in US history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set the all-time record for most real estate foreclosures in a 12-month period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I appointed more convicted criminals to administration positions than any president in US history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set the record for the fewest press conferences of any president, since the advent of TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution than any other US president in history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I presided over the biggest energy crises in US history and refused to intervene when corruption was revealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cut health care benefits for war veterans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously take to the streets to protest me (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history.&lt;br /&gt;(The poorest multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the first president in US history to have all 50 states of the Union simultaneously struggle against bankruptcy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud in any market in any country in the history of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the first president in US history to order a US attack and military occupation of a sovereign nation, and I did so against the will of the United&lt;br /&gt;Nations and the vast majority of the international community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have created the largest government department bureaucracy in the history of the United States, called the "Bureau of Homeland Security"(only one letter away from BS).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set the all-time record for biggest annual budget spending increases, more than any other president in US history (Ronnie was tough to beat, but I did&lt;br /&gt;it!!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the first president in US history to compel the United Nations remove the US from the Human Rights Commission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the first president in US history to have the United Nations remove the US from the Elections Monitoring Board.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I removed more checks and balances, and have the least amount of congressional oversight than any presidential administration in US history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I rendered the entire United Nations irrelevant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I withdrew from the World Court of Law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I refused to allow inspectors access to US prisoners of war and by default no longer abide by the Geneva Conventions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the first president in US history to refuse United Nations election inspectors access during the 2002 US elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the all-time US (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest lifetime contributor to my campaign, who is also one of my best friends, presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history .....(Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent more money on polls and focus groups than any president in US history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the first president to run and hide when the US came under attack and then lied,saying the enemy had the code to Air Force 1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the first US president to establish a secret shadow government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I took the world's sympathy for the US after 9/11,and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest&lt;br /&gt;diplomatic failure in US and world history).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the first US president in history to have a majority of the people of&lt;br /&gt;Europe (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and stability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I changed US policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set the all-time record for the number of administration appointees who&lt;br /&gt;violated US law by not selling their huge investments in corporations bidding for&lt;br /&gt;gov't contracts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than any other&lt;br /&gt;president in US history. In a little over two years I have created the most&lt;br /&gt;divided country in decades, possibly the most divided that the US has been&lt;br /&gt;since the Civil War.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in less than&lt;br /&gt;two years turned every single economic category heading straight down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RECORDS AND REFERENCES:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have at least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas driving&lt;br /&gt;record has been erased and is not available).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was AWOL from the National Guard and deserted the military during time of war. I refuse to take a drug test or even answer any questions about drug use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All records of my tenure as governor of Texas have been spirited away to my&lt;br /&gt;fathers library, sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All records of any SEC investigations into my insider trading or bankrupt&lt;br /&gt;companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All minutes of meetings of any public corporation for which I served on the&lt;br /&gt;board are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any records or minutes from meetings I (or my VP)attended regarding public&lt;br /&gt;energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PERSONAL REFERENCES:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For personal references, please speak to my dad or Uncle James Baker&lt;br /&gt;They can be reached in their offices at the Carlyle Group where they are&lt;br /&gt;helping to divide up the spoils of the US-Iraq war and plan for the next one).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: this information should be useful to voters in the 2004 election.&lt;br /&gt;Circulate to as many citizens you think would be helped to be reminded about his record.</content>

    <content type="html">I'm not even sure what to post here.  I never have anything interesting to say.  Dealing with more drama but trying to let all of this roll of my back, not quite that simple though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm gonna go wander around Philly again this weekend, this time it won't be alone.  Gonna be hanging with a former friend and his friend.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He doesn't want me to bring up the reason that we stopped being friends.  I won't, in fact i'll even dodge the subject, but I was thinking about it again this morning and it pissed my off again.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It makes me wonder how we even got to the point where we're going to be hanging out.  We never even really discussed what happened and the effects.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, my uncle is barred from all further family functions, i'm not even sure if anyone is talking to him now and here I am about to hangout with someone who was just as responsible.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should I be so forgiving of him?  I mean, I have no intentions of talking to my moms brother again yet i'm about to hangout with this guy and pretend like this shit didn't happen.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know, I guess I always kinda blamed my uncle more, he tends to prey on young guys anyway plus he's spreading shit.  I guess all the shit he's doing is going to catch up with him.  Blah, gotta get going.</content>
