I’ve grown tired of apologizing here…
I think this is my third post of apologizing for things that I've written. Third times a charm right?
People start blogs for various reasons. Mine was quite simple. I was incredibly fucked up after I broke up with DD.
This was my therapy and I thought it still was. I write things that come out of my own mind…how I felt in a certain situation that no one else felt or saw even though they were there.
Maybe because they aren’t me.
If I can't openly write here then what's the fucking point?
none.

Don't you ever apologize. This is YOUR slice of internet paradise...you do with it what you will.
ON YOUR MAC.

So, I'm long winded...all of this for the first and last paragraph.
How you, O Athenians, have been affected by my accusers, I cannot tell; but I know that they almost made me forget who I was, so persuasively did they speak; and yet they have hardly uttered a word of truth.
But of the many falsehoods told by them, there was one which quite amazed me; I mean when they said that you should be upon your guard and not allow yourselves to be deceived by the force of my eloquence.
To say this, when they were certain to be detected as soon as I opened my lips and proved myself to be anything but a great speaker, did indeed appear to me most shameless, unless by the force of eloquence they mean the force of truth; for if such is their meaning, I admit that I am eloquent but in how different a way from theirs!
Well, as I was saying, they have scarcely spoken the truth at all; but from me you shall hear the whole truth: not, however, delivered after their manner in a set oration duly ornamented with words and phrases. No, by heaven! but I shall use the words and arguments which occur to me at the moment; for I am confident in the justice of my cause: at my time of life I ought not to be appearing before you, O men of Athens, in the character of a juvenile orator, let no one expect it of me.
And I must beg of you to grant me a favor:, If I defend myself in my accustomed manner, and you hear me using the words which I have been in the habit of using in the agora, at the tables of the money-changers, or anywhere else, I would ask you not to be surprised, and not to interrupt me on this account. For I am more than seventy years of age, and appearing now for the first time in a court of law, I am quite a stranger to the language of the place; and therefore I would have you regard me as if I were really a stranger, whom you would accuse if he spoke in his native tongue, and after the fashion of his country.
Am I making an unfair request of you? Never mind the manner, which may or may not be good; but think only of the truth of my words, and give heed to that: let the speaker speak truly and the judge decide justly.
I knew those 15 years of college would pay off someday and here it is.
By the way, I had a super long day yesterday...I flew into LAX for a meeting in...get this, Inglewood.
I caught a 4:15 flight back out of LA but I thought of you.

i almost erased my whole blog the night i wrote this post but then everyone that has issues with what i write wins and once again i lose and i have to say it was not just one person.
brad...it is my slice and i'll take it every chance i get. heh.
otis...yes, those 15 years of college did pay off.
i always know when you are in town. it's either raining cats and dogs or somethings on fire.
