how about chomping at the bit then?


Hell yes... exactly...... ;\)

Quote:
I would think that we/you/I do in our own reality..hence my frustration..my version of normal may not exist and that frustrates the hell out of me.


Problem with that is you and I are dumbasses and coming of of a heartbreak so our vision of normal is all wacked out. Your vision of normal right now is probably a little overprotective due to not wanting to be let down again.....


Quote:
and that is the deal right there..are we actaully getting ourselves back to normal in an abnormal world??

Do we just settle? if we can't find our perception of what normal should be?


No Mr. Negative... our perceptions are clearing up as we progress and you know that. Your idea of normal will be much different in 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, etc....

We don't settle, we change our standards as we let down our guard a bit and we find a healthy level of insanity that we can cope with. Mike, let me ask you something.... Is MHS38 abnormal or is her situation a little to close to home for ya?


Quote:
or just lock myself up in the house and be content??


I wasn't even gonna dignify this with a response but I have to... shut the hell up.......


Quote:
and Ian..I know the lighten up thing..I know I'm negative as hell right now..and you know this is my way of trying to get into ME and what I need to do to be better.....


I understand that Mike, and you darn tootin better understand that because this is a safe place to "vent" your frustrations does not mean that I am gonna sit here and coddle you, pat your belly, and stick a tit in yoru mouth for you to feel all warm and fuzzy. You can be mr frowny face all you want and many others here will validate you to make you feel better, I am not gonna do that. You know I empathize with you and understand you are just in a funk, but I am not into sitting by and watching my friends hurt just because they have their head so far up their own asss they can't reach their own ears to pull themselves out.... not my style.....


Love ya buddy....
