In Which I Literally Give Up ...


So what to do ... when you have a friend who is both acting like a complete douche canoe ... but also maybe needs help?  When someone says stupid, self-destructive shit, it's easy to think they're just demanding attention.  But then what if they do something stupid and self-destructive?  You can't take that chance ...

Two nights ago, this friend was a mess ... saying his relationship was over ... saying he felt used.  He told me about spending a lot of time at the grave sight crying.  How it was hard to be around anyone because everyone made him jealous.  Meanwhile, he's telling other people that he's writing goodbye notes ... it's obviously time for some professional help.

So tonight when I got home, I reached out to him ... and now he's swung to the other extreme.  Everything's fine with his new relationship.   In fact, it's super!   It was a misunderstanding.  They're going out this weekend to see Thor.  Her ex is trying to get her back but he had his chance and screwed it up with her and by God now its "his turn" ...

Sigh ...

Seriously?  He's basically telling one person he's writing suicide notes ... then 24 hours later he's on cloud nine because a woman tells him she'll go out with him this weekend?  He needs medication ... or therapy ... or a combination of the both.  This isn't healthy. 

Primarily it isn't healthy because if he keeps this up, I'm going to kick his ass ...

I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job
I'm your average white suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and books about war
I've got an average house with a nice hardwood floor
