I asked my mother, "He's the expert and supposed to know that he is going to heaven, and yet he is trying everything he can to stay alive." Because I think he, like most religious leaders, know that it is a bunch of bullshit.

]]> Comment on trying harder by Chrisfon http://www.beyondbuffalo.com/2009/12/trying-harder/comment-page-1/#comment-33 Chrisfon Sun, 20 Dec 2009 22:45:39 +0000 http://www.beyondbuffalo.com/?p=51#comment-33 Career advancement is kind of like exercise. It's easy to shrug off just doing it, sometimes there's fear, but when you do actually make the effort, no matter how small, you feel proud of yourself for at least trying. A sense of accomplishment has a high of its own. Okay, so it's not as high as some junk you could put inside you, but it lasts a lot longer and it gives you the confidence to try again and again. Congrats and good luck. Your life seems to really be getting better for you the past year or two, but taht's mostly due to your own actions. Don't stop now.

I don't feel so bad for missing out now seeing how I wasn't the only one who didn't make it out there - however, after seeing Homer's and Chrisfon's responses, I'm kinda angry that I'm the only one who *still* gets the cold shoulder for not showing up. And the only reason I missed was because I couldn't afford to fly out with Hubby outta work (and you KNOW I woulda if I coulda had I not been trying to keep BOTH of our asses from going homeless). I don't know why I care, but seeing these replies months later really angers me (especially when you didn't return any of my calls/emails all the times I've tried). Maybe you just needed a reason to stop keeping in touch? If so, then I'm glad my personal hardship made an easy out for you. I probably wouldn't have fit in with all the rich and uber-trendy friends surrounding your dinner table anyway... Nothing counts for nothing anymore - not even a friendship forged in Chicago. Fuck me for not slapping you with that chocolate martini when I had the chance. That would've been the best birthday present I could've ever given my sistah - a slap upside the head with some goddamn humility! (I'll keep the cherry, thanks). In fact, if I never talk to you again let me give you one last piece of sisterly advice for the road - just to show you how much I fucking cared even when I couldn't be there: Bitch, go to the fucking gym and lose weight because you want a few more days added to your existential tally so you can live out the rest of your life in happiness with your BF - and not because you want to look and be seen as something fantastic in and around SF. Life's too short at 40 to start giving a shit what other people think of you now. Now get your ass off that goddamn laptop and go take Stella for a walk - and give my home gurl a loving hug from me (assuming she even remembers me). Muthafucka...
