freaky and fucked up update . . .. *sighs*
We start the new year each year with such high hopes. The higher they are the harder the fall, right? Major fall this time around . . .
To start off, a few days after the new year officially began, a dear friend was brutally and senselessly murdered. Strangled with his own silver necklace, stripped and left half naked in the desert not far from town. His name has been being dragged through all manner of muck ever since by the 17 yr. old murderess who is trying desperately (in the most obvious of fashions) to cover her own ass. Yes, we've all tried to strangle someone from the front in self-defence with their own necklaces when they couldn't stay awake long enough to finish sex. *shrugs* What part of that sentence makes sense to anyone?!?!?! Because I would dearly llke to understand the logic of it. It is well-known that the girl had been stalking him for a year after he dumped her . . . it was also well-known that she had sworn revenge after he announced his engagement this last fall. His poor fiancee is just devastated, as is his mother. This is one trial that will drag on and on . . . this town milks things like this. It's one huge mess, that just keeps getting messier. The autopsy proved that not only was Jesse only slightly tipsy, it also proved that he hadn't had sex at all in 24 hours prior to his death. Our coroner is so inept, he couldn't figure out a COD and the body had to be sent to Colorado for examination. ??? What the hell do we have a coroner for if he can't even detect 1 1/2" ligature marks?? Hell, one season of CSI will teach you how to recognize those. :/ The murderess just keeps digging herself a deeper and deeper hole with her inability to tell the truth . . and her family is determined to squash all rumors that this girl was nothing more than an obsessed psycho who acted on an earlier promise that no one could have him if she couldn't. *sighs* To complicate our involvement, my daughter got engaged last fall to the girl's cousin . . .
More recently, my daughter's Marine fiance created a chain of events that has left our lives messy on a more personal and intimate level. They had an unscheduled party at my house while I was out of town overnight and all hell was unleashed. First he punched her in the face for no apparent reason while intoxicated, and slammed her right hand into a countertop breaking several bones. Then he punched a hole in my wall in the hallway, threw a mostly full Corona bottle through one of the specialty etched glass bar doors in my kitchen, broke my screen door and tried to punch-out a glass divider insert in my kitchen by the front door (it's now hanging over my sink, surrounded by massive structural damage). Over $1000 worth of damages. She of course summarily dumped him then and there in front of everyone and gave him back his ring. As if that's not enough, charges were pressed (otherwise insurance won't help pay for shit) and he was summarily ordered back to 29 Palms (base). He chose to ingnore a direct order, and is now beyond AWOL . . . it's been 4 days since the return order date, and he has been declared a deserter and the hunt is on. According to his mother, he is now bouncing from motel to motel doing and selling Meth. Joy. Everyday we deal with police, harassing phone calls, and stupidity from those few who have decided that this boy's choices are directly my daughter's fault. She has spent the last 3 days moving to a location he knows nothing about, and nearly lost her job. She is a wreck, she can't hide the black eye well and is bombarded daily with questions and such. The empathy she can handle, its the loud pity she'd like to do without. The boy keeps calling from numerous cell-phones and won't quit . . he is insistant that they need to talk so they can patch things up before his deployment (he was due to leave for Iraq March 3). He has gone over the deep end and is trying to take us with him. I have spent a week in hell, and am only now clawing my way into Purgatory (and despite Dante's reassurances, it's not much better really). I won't even ask if this can get any worse, because I know it will long before it gets better . . . there's not even much hope for peace once he's taken into custody. She and I will be required to attend his courtmarshal in Cali and then his eventual trial in civilian court. Who knows when those will occur. *sighs* I only hope that life can return to normal before too long, and that maybe after they catch him they can help him . . . because he really needs it now.
WE have decided to amend the popular saying . . .. All the good men are taken, gay or dead. :(
Any wonder why I've been MIA for the last couple of months? *sighs*
