Someone named Jamie is amusing me greatly, making comments on some of the old blogs. She’s most notably present on “A Jupiter Story For Y’all” which I posted in May, 2006.

It’s a story from when I was19 and Babe, Pig in the City. I was getting on the first plane of my life and come to think of it, I was more “Piglet in the City” back then, as I remain “Babe-ish” to this day, though most certainly a full grown pig at this point.

Anyway, she is commenting on Part 2, I think so you can go read if you like -> Jupiter Story - Part two, or if you have never read the story it starts here -> Jupiter story - Part one, and then just follow the links at the bottom of each blog.

Now the gal I was “mean” to a few days ago… “Friends Dating - Crisis Results“, has also surfaced and I’m glad she did. I can’t explain everything all the time, but now and then I want to and this is a good chance for that to.

Most of the people who write me are strangers. But not all of them. And this gal in particular, I had some knowledge of. And believe me, she is a stout chick. I guess you can tell this by her writing so you might imagine my surprise hearing her sound so completely freakishly consumed with the minutiae of these other people’s lives. Further, I cut 1/3 of her post! Yes. And I thought this out of character for her.

So when I wrote her response, I did not take any care. I just spoke to her as if she was a long time friend of mine who knows who I am. Because although she is not specifically a friend, she has been reading my blog(s) for a long time, and believe me I can be much, much, much ruder than that!

However, it was not my intention to be rude. It was my intention to tell her what I really thought which is why people write me, I think. To quote the AMF from a few months ago when something like this came up…

“What do they expect? This isn’t Dear fuckin’ Abby they’re writing! And no one ever said it was…”

And it’s hard to argue with that, isn’t it?

So anyway, the main thing I am trying to say, is on that blog where I was so rude… that was actually the best love I have. Because it’s so hard to find someone who will tell you what they really think. Consequently, it makes it very hard to progress if you are stuck in something like this.

It’s like being caught on a branch when you’re supposed to be floating down the river. You ask your pal, “Hey man. Am I stuck on a branch, here?”

“Well golly gee. I don’t know. Maybe you are. Maybe you aren’t. Maybe you should ask a few dozen more people. Sheesh, man. I hope you figure it out…”

So there you go. There’s your non-offensive but worthless answer. Which is not what I deal in, obviously.

I think direct questions deserve direct answers so that’s what this blog is about and will always be about. And this is what I am about and will always be about. So if you need an Excedrin after reading here, oh well. That’s like going to see a surgeon and then complaining it hurt where he/she cut you. Well come on! You’re off your branch, aren’t you?

So I just wanted to say this. It was fun for me to write and hopefully fun for you to read.
