The Saga Continues ...
This is in regards to my last post. Jesse has finally returned to the community and declared that he does in fact not have knives on his altar, this was apparently a figurative example.
This may or may not be true (all things considered), I certainly hope so and if so what a relief. But still, is that what his post sounded like he meant? No, it sounded like he was saying he was keeping knives where his two year old and an infant can reach them. Which is pretty much what everyone there thought.
But does he recognize this? Is he being apologetic, oh shit not at all what I meant, sorry for the confusion?
Oh hell no.
No, he's coming in there like an indignant ass. Snapping at people, demanding we return to his topic of conversation, insisting there is no reason whatsoever for everyone there to have thought what they did, blaming people's past history with him (see, this is why I didn't even bother) or their inability to listen when they highlight his own words for him.
Typical Jesse behavior. Jesse is *never* wrong, Jesse *never* misspeaks, its merely your inability to properly interpret the nuggets of wisdom that continuously drip from out that sacred font that is his mouth.
Seriously, this shit happens all the time. At the house, at the grove, in ADF, everywhere. Its *never* him, its *always* you. Continuing to insist that it may have been him will only piss him off, because Jesse doesn't like being questioned, he doesn't like being criticized, he doesn't like being told no.
For any reasonable person, the sheer number of times you have found yourself in this exact situation, that the people reading your post all read the same thing into it, should signify that its not them at all, that it just might have been you. But once again, we're talking about reasonable people, and Jesse is not and has never been a reasonable person. And yet he continues to wonder why he alienates people wherever he goes.
He hasn't changed at all from when I knew and lived with him. He is probably never going to. Its sad really. Or at least it is when he is little more than a distant memory of an unpleasant ordeal I had to endure to get where I am now, alone in my nice apartment with my lovely girlfriend. When faced with his same old dumb fuck behavior once again, its merely frustrating; dealing with someone whose head is that thick and safely encased in a soundproof colon, no message is ever going to get through no matter what you do.
I want him expelled from my world space. Even at the periphery, he's just so fucking unpleasant to have around. Every time I think he's finally gone for good, he shows up again. I know sooner or later he'll get pissed off at the grove again, they'll go from being his supportive center to a horrible mess of a church that couldn't get anything right if they tried (and when this does happen, it will be the grove's fault of course, not anything he said or did), but until that happens I'm still stuck seeing him out of the corner of my eye.
I don't know how I managed to put up with this as long as I did. I really must have more restraint than I think I do.
