Cram Time
So I am cramming for a professional exam, security professional type and apparently a ball buster. Oy, have not done this since the Navy.
Like the picture in the profile? There is a guy at work who's hobby is cartoons. He did this one day and showed it to me, his view of me. Interesting, I am not quite that buff, but it does capture things pretty well. Truth be told, it has always been my fantasy to drop my everyday life and follow Aragorn into a desperate battle for the salvation of Middle Earth. I suppose that, as much as anything, explains me.
One thing, I hereby give any of you who care permission to rant in the comments section of my blog. Much of what I write is meant as a way to process the events of the last few years. I have other blogs up for other reasons, but this one is the online support group blog, even if the readership is a group of one. My hope is that it has value to others as well, and so it is only reasonable that it causes people to speak there mind. Feel free.
One quick observation from my last blog. I was reading a rant someplace else where a woman was classifying her husband as a looser because he no longer did the things that they used to do. Point in fact, if you read between the lines, they got married, had a kid, she quit work, and all of a sudden he is hyper focused on the career and stressed a lot of the time. Etc, etc.
I could write a book on the implications of that rant. What struck me was the selfishness of it all, on both of their sides. Selfishness and cowardice seem to me to be at the root of a lot of divorce drama.
It is also at the root of most of the long term hurt. It is selfish not to own up to what happened and to take the time to process properly with your ex, and especially your children. If you choose this road, you need to commit to cleaning up your messes.
Especially the ones with your kids.
