It’s official — I’m a sucker.
He gets me to meet with him, because he says he wants to talk, and he’s afraid that he’s burned his bridges.
Like a fool, I say yes.
He tells his side of things, and appeals to my better nature. Appeals to my friendship. Calls me brother.
Like a fool, I say “if there’s anything you need, let me know. I’m here.”
That was 22 days ago.
Not a word since.
Any news I’ve had, I’ve gotten from other people. He’s moving, apparently. Supposedly to West Virginia. Or so I’ve heard.
But not from him.
Yeah, “brother.”
I’m a sucker.
Having hope in the better parts of a human’s nature doesn’t make you a sucker. It makes you a good friend.
It isn’t your fault your hope appears to have been misplaced. I know that doesn’t really make it feel any better.
*pat*pat*
What she said.
I would hope that you would look at it from the perspective that one of the two individuals involved actually has a heart.
Frankly, I’m heartened that it’s you.
D.
I do not believe this is the definition of being a sucker. It’s called, being hurt.
And I am sorry you are hurt.
SNARK ALERT
You seem to have forgotten how cool he is…

Re: SNARK ALERT
WTF?!
You’re not a sucker. The word is friend. You didn’t enter that conversation blindly. And having hope in the ability of our friends to learn from their mistakes is a good thing.
Re: SNARK ALERT
i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you.
and i’m glad you’re already mine so i don’t have to kill people to make it so.
Re: SNARK ALERT
Jesus Monkey-loving Christ.
What the FUCK is that?
How much do you want to bet that he wrote those himself?
Re: SNARK ALERT
?????
I…I’m speechless.
Re: SNARK ALERT
My sentiments exactly.
Re: SNARK ALERT
I’m sure of it. In fact, there’s a witness to his building the site while in LA.
My favorite part is the quote from “Samantha.” I’d love it if someone more technologically savvy than I could determine when it was made, since Samantha died back in the early or mid-90’s…
The layers continue. This is just one. You’ve got to steel your stomach to keep going.
Re: SNARK ALERT
I understand.
Re: SNARK ALERT
Jeeez, enough with the killing already!!
Hmmm….would you kill a God for me?
Re: SNARK ALERT
I read parts and had visions of that person I used to be married to and heard snippits of conversations…creepy. I had to stop reading becasue I have a client in a minuts and I needed to get centered…
ick, ick, ick…
Re: SNARK ALERT
Don’t take it in, Star, he’s, excuse me, THEY aren’t worth it.
Love you.
Re: SNARK ALERT
I know that. It was just a dusting. Here’s hoping it’s not radioactive ;-)
Re: SNARK ALERT

According to this, the site has only been up since early 2002.
Re: SNARK ALERT
How very, very sad.

Re: SNARK ALERT

It’s either that, or everyone who “posted” (that I managed to read…ick) has exactly the same voice when they write.
Re: SNARK ALERT
I’m glad to hear someone else say that, too. It’s amazing. Not only is the tone the same, not to mention consistant with Mike’s LJ tone, but the grammatical patterns and errors are as well. AND they’re all the same grammatical mistakes he makes frequently.
Convicted by is own poor grammar….classic. ;)
Re: SNARK ALERT
Thanks.
Samantha speaks from the grave!!!
Or out of Mike’s mythos….same thing.
Re: SNARK ALERT
I agree.
Combine that site with the one listed on his User Info page (http://www.mdmenendez.bravehost.com/) and you’ve got a pretty astounding picture.
Re: SNARK ALERT
::raises hand::
I bear witness. I saw him updating it himself in Los Angeles.
I hate to say it, but I am so very not surprised. Which I am sad to admit. We all were hoping he was sincere, but now that Carlye’s leaving without him, he has no reason to try to fix things. After all, that’s the only reason he tried in the first place.
My shirt is officially ripped, he is dead to me.
Hey, wanna do some shots of grog and talk smack at Heartland? It really does help, I swear!
You got it, lady. I’ll be out there as of Tuesday evening. Smack-talking shall commmence.
Poor Carlye. How’s she doing?
She’s ok. She’s had a lot going on, but we’re all still talking and she seems to be generally ok.
Re: SNARK ALERT
It is very sad to be so desperate for the adoration of the masses that you have to create your own.
Re: SNARK ALERT
I suppose the thought process must involve something to the effect of, if you can make others believe that you’re that cool, then it will start to become true. Because the masses are never wrong are they. ::snort::
Oh my word. I think mostly, that you have offered a hand out in good faith, and that is a good thing. Having heart and faith and hope is a friend, and he and we are lucky to have you. I am especially glad that you will have each other to chat with about it at Heartland, company and cleansing.
(and damn those sites, wow.)
Oh…dear.
Re: SNARK ALERT
It is a stark insight into where he’s coming from, isn’t it?
D.
Re: SNARK ALERT
I would think what we see in those site is the thing Mike very desparately wishes that he actually was.
