So the founder of Blackwater, the non-state military company most associated with the Iraq war, is publishing a memoir this October. Apparently the dear Erik Prince will name names of those in the Clinton and Obama administrations who backstabbed him. All this with the explicit intent of affecting the up-coming elections. Oh, and he's written a screenplay of said memoirs already.

no reason for that feeling at all

Oh, I'm sure Prince has something worthwhile to say. He can make a case how his company was fucked over contractually. That's the problem though; his defense will rest almost entirely on technicalities and contract law. Where the book will go off the rails is with the issue of morality and use of force. Prince will make a standard neo-conservative argument, a thoroughly debunked one at that, and claim his employees were placed under far too constrictive rules on engagement and use of force. The technicalities and contract law will establish that, yes, legally his company was made scape-goat for all mercenary work in Iraq. The morality of those actions will get slathered with a heavy layer of neo-con talking points. The book, however, is not a court of law so establishing a legal defense does nothing to actually defend his company.

End of summer? I suppose if you count a week of rain. Does feel different though. September lends itself to that. Fall has a sense of renewal for me, which is odd since it's the beginning of nature's hibernation. Then comes October, my favorite month (not because of my birthday, but there is that). The nights are longer and cool. Feels like shaking the sweat...

Ah ha! Bipolar is back! Texted me on Saturday afternoon asking what she did (or didn't) do that drove me away. Followed up by "miss your kiss." So terribly sweet of her. Makes me want to drive a nail into my hand.
I do like it when a girl chases after me. It's a wonderful boost to the ego. This, however, is entirely different. My...

It's very hard to get someone to see their beliefs are "wrong" because beliefs aren't rooted in fact, they are rooted in a deep seeded need to believe.
You're right though, she is trying to play you, and she doesn't see the inabilities in herself so she's looking for justification and vindication that it was something she did, and not who she is.
*hugs*

Thats amazing.
I've started a new project at work for a close friend. Never knew she wanted something made by me. It's an ambitious project she inspired. Making a completely custom ring that embodies her. Lately I've started having odd ideas for jewelry. Making a piece that expresses lust or happiness. It's simply a question of how to make the non-physical tangible. There's a lot of reference...

fun times?
So far nothing new on the Bipolar girl front. She did try to entice me to lunch yesterday, but lunch is a bit of "catch as catch can" sort of thing at the store. Difficult to step out for an hour unless you're running to pick up stones or findings. That and I don't think she quite understood what very slow meant. My hope is...

We are all connected, to each other, biologically, to the earth, chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically. So the universe does care about you, he's just too busy to call sometimes.
I really respect and admire your honesty with yourself and situations. Hopefully this will end up teaching both of you.
*hugs*

Oh joy. Bipolar girl is back! I'm so thrilled! More excitement, drama, hostile boyfriends. Think it's time to buy a new box of .380 auto.
I need a new life.

Oh, it gets better. She's, and I quote, "not comfortable divulging any more via text," and "I have a few things I'm uncertain about, I'm sure the same holds true for you." You could...

You don't need a new life you just need to remove bipolar bitch from it!

wow
Haven't slept at all. Not because of the girl. I'm surprisingly relieved that the whole thing is over. No, I went to the Lizard Lounge with my unofficial little sister and her friend. Stayed until after 2am but ended up chatting with this girl in another episode of Dallas: Where Everyone Knows Everyone Else. Interior designer apparently. Fortuitous as we're starting to work on remodeling...

Shockingly, I'm now single again. Fuck me, I'm beginning to think only the most fucked up women find me attractive.
rory_b_bellows:
That's because all women are fucked up. Just to different varying degrees. I have a theory on it all. All men are dumb. You, me, every other human on the planet carrying a Y chromosome is retarded to a degree. All women are batshit insane. The trick is to find a woman who's crazy is equal to your level of stupid. For example, if you're the kind of guy who locks his keys in his car, you shouldn't be with a girl who thinks Alf was based on real events.
Conversely a woman who's only mildly nuts, lets say she can't by seafood from the grocery store because the fish look sad. she doesn't need to be with a guy who's waiting on a check from a Nigerian prince.
But in the rare occaisions where stupid equals crazy. You get a guy who buys an extended warranty on everything he gets at best buy and pair him up with a chick who believes that George Bush and the entire Bush family are lizard people. Then may their first child be a masculine child.

Actually that's similar to the Spaceballs theory: all men are good, but dumb, while all women are evil, but smart. Per Spaceballs, evil will always win because good is dumb. Thus smart women manipulate dumb guys. Not really that hard because the guys are dumb. Still evil though. Then you have the converse where a woman tries being good only to end up with an evil guy, better known as an asshole.
At the same time as a general rule one should look for those approximately as fucked up as you are. Now that doesn't mean fucked up in the exact same way, but simply to a similar degree.
And it does well to remember that all guys are dumb, even the ones playing at being evil. You could win the Nobel Prize in Literature and get named People's Sexiest Man of the Year and still make a bag of hammered dog shit look intelligent. Guys are just dumb, which is why girls make no sense to them. They're not smart enough to get it.
What we have in my case is a good (I think) but obviously dumb guy dating a girl playing at being good, but obviously so evil it's driven her around the bend and dropped her off where the buses don't run. Took me a bit to realize the full extent of said crazy. And let's not forget the not-an-ex-boyfriend constantly texting me, insulting me, lying to me poorly, reading her texts, threatening to show up at my house or the store (which would have ended with him being shot either way; the only difference being what caliber used but hollow points all the same), calling her demented and a slut. Actually a diseased slut come to think of it. I'm still thinking of calling the IRS on him just for shits and giggles.
Still, all too much drama, which gives me a headache, and bores me, and makes me sleepy. I'm not all that broken up about it either. I actually feel a sense of relief. I suppose that's a sign I did the right thing.

This newly minted relationship is losing its sheen rather quickly. I mean, the sex is great but she can only go for so long. That's not the issue though. My doubts come from the continued presence of her ex in her life, and the subsequent hell he's throwing on her and me. I've never directly contacted him, but I know he's still checking her phone...

Yeah, while I don't think she'd do anything so drastic there are a lot of nagging doubts. I have enjoyed the time I've spent with her face to face. It's all of the other nonsense surrounding this relationship that have me up in knots.
