Dr. Creep
Joe was here for Christmas week, and I was glad that he was. He helped me get the tree, and kept my mind occupied which really helped me out a lot. Plus he lent me an air card while he was here to get me some temporary 'net access for the week which was greatly appreciated.
Our mutual friend kind of blew him off the whole week and he was pretty pissed about it, and understandably so. (the guy is currently not talking to me, so I guess Joe had to choose. Pretty shitty situation to put your friend in if you ask me). Bottom line... It was really good to see him and it helped me a lot just to have somebody to talk to.
On the last day we had a problem though. We went out at night, Joe wanted to go to an old arcade down in seaside but I was still taking a shower when he showed up and we got a late start, as a result most everything was closed. But I got a phone call from my cousin rob that he was heading out to a local bar and we decided to go down there.
Well, without going into too many details that do not need to be brought up here, I left the dude sitting at the bar talking to some strangers when I finally found my cousin during a bathroom run. And even though I went looking for him he apparently thought I was blowing him off and got all pissed and left. My personal opinion is that he overreacted to the situation, no harm was meant.
Was I drunk? yes.
Did I mean to make the guy all pissed? certainly not.
Anyway, he was royally pissed off at me and didn't even want to talk on Saturday morning. He stopped by, grabbed the air card, and took off for the airport and I haven't heard from him since.
He did however, take the time to give my wife a call and tell her that she might as well file divorce papers because I'm just waiting for her to do it anyway so I don't have to be the bad guy; and, oh yeah, tell her what a selfish self-centered prick I was. I'm sorry he felt that way, as I said I did not mean to piss him off.. I was glad to have him around. But that was simply not cool. at all.
And Joe, please don't make some big long lambasting comment here. If you have something to say to me that is of that much importance just give me a call.
