Who Starving? Who Cares?
I don't feel anything for starving people. Certainly not in other countries, since I think this country should focus on its own for while, but I don't even give a shit about our own starving. It's not like Karissa and I were ever starving, but we've had to, from time to time, be resourceful. I'd steal food for Isabella before watching her starve. My worries never extend beyond my own family, and I think it's complete bullshit for any charity to expect someone to "give until it hurts". Especially when just a little help will "hurt". If someone wants to keep a parent from watching her kid starve, he/she should take some food away from the parent who lets their kid overeat. When I have the money and/or resources that I no longer have to use to take care of myself and my family, I'll start worrying about starving people. That's my 2 cents.

dido. What a nice observation Doug...
Nice comment from both you and Karissa about that "parent" that let's their kid overeat and what not. I don't know if you meant that like I'm taking it but if you did then that's a really low blow and the last person I would ever attack if I was angry at you would be your daughter and I know you as parents you have you own issues with her diet and weight and I wouldn't think to blame you for that at all. If you are meaning it this way and the reason I think you are is because both you and Karissa posted a similar thing and it's a pretty big coincidence that it wouldn't be me and then when April chimes in "nice obersavtion" it kinda pulls it together. And I'm not the only one who put those pieces together cuz I asked other people just in case maybe I was being over sensitive and taking things the wrong way. No doctor has ever said my child is obese or even overweight that she's just long and really healthy. I would never overfeed my child or anything horrible like that and then bitch about people in other countries who's children starve. I also think we have a big problem in the US. People can only do so much by talking, and I have done a lot more than you probably realize because really I have no need to tell the world every little good deed I do. But you also need to come up with a good plan before you can go out and "save the world." All I can say is , ouch, you guys have made your point loud and clear.
I also realize there are some grammatical erros in what I wrote but I think you get the idea of what I'm trying to write. I just wrote it fast. I'm not some idiot who can't spell or put sentences together.
Actually, I don't have a plan to save the world. Never did. How many god damned times do I have to say I'm a misanthrope before you figure out what it means? I'll save the world when it begins to directly affect me and my own.
Neither you nor Amadon have the right to be shocked anymore. This is pent up frustration from having to hear about your guys' pitfalls for the last year or so, and now all these issues are coming to the fore. I was personally nonconfrontational because I thought I had been mean enough to Amadon in the past. But why should I give a shit about a guy who's drinking himself into oblivion, and won't even aknowledge a friend's existence because his wife throws a fucking hissy fit every time he's invited to go see him? I have to say, Kevin's given him more chances than any of us. Their friendship was the one in this group that survived untainted, and I've watched his patience slowly falling away. Every time he calls, somehow you and Amadon get into a fight. Then Amadon comes up with this dumb fucking suggestion to April that if they acting like nothing's wrong, it'll go away.
You say you're not controlling, then why do you guys get into fights resulting in Amadon's blowing off seeing his friends? Amadon, what are you going to do, get pissed at me? Go right the fuck ahead. I won't delete any of your comments. Do your worst. Am I a piece of shit for not getting along with your second wife for practically the same reasons as the first? Am I a dick to think you're a loser for your alcoholism? Am I a pussy for not bringing this up a long time ago? Or maybe both of you should just not comment, because I, like the rest of us, are obviously not worth your time and anger. Maybe you should address your comments to Kevin, since he's the last of us to await your callback.
Ugh....well it has come to this apparently. And after I started up a new blog and everything.
I had just gotten done sitting around watching TV and thinking about stuff, when I get back on here and it has turned into a big throwdown again.
I posted stuff earlier tonite on

Karissa's right. I attacked your parenting, not your kid. Kids are off limits to me, parenting styles are not.
Amadon, you've seen and heard how I talk to people when I've had enough, you shouldn't be that shocked. Reyna and I said about as much to eachother at our worst.
Don't give that bullshit about your "initial interest was to try to cope". We've all seen how you treat this.
You want someone to blame for the flare up? I'm the first one who posted after Josie's post. I got pissed because what I read came off as self-righteous crap. I heard the same thing from a guy on a commercial about starvation telling me I had nothing better to do with my time than to feed poor kids. I get so sick of hearing that I should be helping others, or that someone is better than me because she does try.
I also lose my patience when my friends are making stupid decisions like moving here without any kind of a plan. Like I said before, when I moved here, we didn't have a plan, and we were fucked for a while. Honestly, there was no reason for you guys to move here so quickly, and now I hear talk about Josie needing a second job, or you needing more hours. And I know it's not my life, but I hated seeing you guys having to go to such lengths just to be here. When I drove you guys around that day in January, and you actually asked my opinion, I didn't know what to say. I wondered why I should be weighing in on where YOU'RE living?!
About the "acting loike nothing happened" comment, maybe I got it wrong, I don't know, but it's an excuse you've tried to use and apply in the past. When Reyna was going all psycho on us, you knew I'd always forgive you, so you tried to downplay how she treated us and said we didn't understand her like you did.
Forgive me for going to extremes in trying to get a reaction out of you, but the last time I insulted you directly to provoke a reaction, you called me noble.
I try to get a reaction from you, because every time we get into something like this, you get this doormat enabler attitude, like you're just supposed to tell me you're sorry, and that's the end of it.
I've lost all patience with you because you totally quit on life. You were once happier on Everquest and World of Warcraft than with reality. Have you earned your friends? Let's see, everytime you were over, you asked for something to eat. How many times did each and every one of us drive you to and from work? I guess we're enablers in a sense, too, aren't we, because we let you mooch from us on a constant basis.
If Josie encouraged you to see your friends, then why did you lie about going grocery-shopping that night? Why did a huge fight ensue afterward, and why did it take April to drag out the fact that Josie didn't want you seeing me? Is that false information as well? Because I was there, while April was hollering at you. And that's what I got from it.
And why, then, did you make plans to come to Kevin's (4 times according to Kevin), then not even show up? You didn't even call. So if it wasn't because of fighting with Josie over this whole issue, then what was it?
What just kills me out of all this is that this is exactly what it takes to get you to respond. To anything. We've all had to holler and scream and bitch and moan just to get you off your ass to do anything or respond to anything. And then later on, you come in with some odd words of wisdom, and expect everything to go back to honky-fucking-dory.
So, yeah, that's just my "way". Hey, it was probably over 6 years ago, but how could we tell, right? You repeat behaviors long enough, that becomes normal.
Yes, Amadon that is EXACTLY what you said and you know it. "if you go out to the car and act like nothing happened I'm sure everything will be okay and things will get back to normal" Screw you for calling me a liar.
On Josie's behalf... enough with personally attacking her...She's right, too far is too far, and we all know that Karissa and Doug were talking about Adele in their comments.. and sorry guys, but if you're going to make comments like that, you have to be willing to stick by them and admit to them... sorry.
I didn't mean for my post to turn into a mob attack, and I honestly don't think AMadon and Josie deserve to be attacked on blogs like this... I was wrong in writing it on my post... although I stand by most of what I said, I shouldn't have posted it because she was right, She hasn't contacted me, written about me, or said anything about me.
I know... morals suck, but I'm gonna have to step up and say STOP IT DAMNIT! I dont care how much you don't like a person, we've all said pretty hateful things... things that may be okay to think once in a while, but to angerly shout them out for the world to see.... meh.
