I've developed a bad habit of getting a dab of poop on my right thumb when wiping as of late. Used to be a once a month occurance, but now I'm shooting 50/50. On the bright side, I'm much more aware of my hand-washing now. Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise.

Good luck, Dave.

That's fucking awesome dude... can't wait to hear how it goes!

The reward for putting up with snot noses all year? 2 months off? that's beautiful. Enjoy.

I had a dip dream last night that my mother packed a can of chew with a label that said "Smokeyg".  She opened the lid and inserted me into her lower cheek.  I remember it was dark and I was rolling around like I was in a washing machine on the spin cycle.  Suddenly Cowboy Curtis floated by me holding a lantern and shouted, "Howdy Pee-Wee".  My mom spit and I landed in the back of my grandpa's old pickup truck which was full of moldy cherries. 

I woke up and realized I came on my dog's ear.  I thought wet dreams ended with puberty?

"... a can of chew with a label that said "Smokeyg"..."

This means nothing. It's dumb.

"...She opened the lid and inserted me into her lower cheek..."

Your mom is fucking huge.

"...Suddenly Cowboy Curtis floated by me holding a lantern and shouted, "Howdy Pee-Wee"..."

Your shit is small.

"...My mom spit and I landed in the back of my grandpa's old pickup truck which was full of moldy cherries..."

Your mom hates you and your grandpa is a slob.

"...I woke up and realized I came on my dog's ear..."

Your dog is hot.

Dude...That *cannot* be for real. If that dream WAS real, you're coming with me the next time I go to therapy...and you can have a whole bunch of my medication.

Fucking hysterical, though....especially the label.

What? No Blumpkin?

Shit. Just got back from soccer. I made one of the all time greatest saves of my life. Full extension off a deflection. But I'm a relatively old man now and my back is fucked. I can't even bend over to put on my shoes.

I'd better be healed by Friday night.

As some of you may remember, I showed the Keanu Reeves masterpiece Little Buddha in my class a few months ago. I received this e-mail today from the woman I borrowed it from:

"Hi Dave,

Can you please put Little Buddha in my box when/if you're done with it? gracias!"


Sometimes I call it Fernando, but this may be better....

This rules..... Better an email than face to face. No way you could have held it together.

[DeanTheCoot]

HAAA!

I'd have to quit my job after getting that note. HA! Funny funny. And yes...NO doubt that Little Buddah  Fernando

jesus christ *laughing*

So, I've been pissed off about Terry's return all afternoon.  Honestly, I don't know why I can't just let this shit go.  Will staying out of August 09 from this point forward help me separate myself from Terry's betrayal or will it just make me stew on the situation even more because I'm letting it control my support?  Or am I just being a little bitch about this whole thing and I should let bygones be bygones?  Welcome back kid? 

Allow me to rant for a moment since it's weighing heavy on my mind and I really don't feel like talking to anyone about this.  The whole situation is so fucking pointless I'd rather just leave it here on the interweb for strangers to read. 

Yes, Terry betrayed his quit brothers in April '09.  OK, if they're over it, then I'm over it.  I can't put any faith in his word ever again, but I'm over it.  He could be a VERY patient internet troll for all I know, but I'm over it.  Whatever. 

After his admitted false posting, he stayed away from the site.  He posted his success with me via e-mail for a few days.  I was trying so hard to suppress my anger and give him a third chance.  Every time I read one of his e-mails, I got pissed off.  I wanted to chew.  I saw him report another successful day quit and I got to thinking - hey, if this dipshit can jump right back on the quitwagon, so can I.  For the first time in hundreds of days, I actually was thinking that maybe I could just go back for a while and start fresh with my quit. 

Then I saw him post on Friday in August '09 saying that he wasn't seeking attention.  OK.  I saw on Saturday that he failed to post roll.  I saw on Sunday that he failed to post roll.  I saw on Monday that he failed to post roll.  Well, maybe he posted roll Monday night, but whatever.  I seem to remember people getting a lot of shit for just disappearing over the weekend without giving word that they'd be away from the internet.  I guess he couldn't really text his roll call to someone, for obvious reasons.  Anyways, I see that Terry's back and dedicated and then he goes three days without posting.  He knows people (like me and his April brothers) are watching.  He knows that he has played a big role in our own success.  Is he just fucking with us?  Is he just completely thoughtless or is he an internet troll trying to fuck with people? 

I don't know.  I guess I'll have to forgive at some point.  Looks like all of April has already forgiven his treachery.  Me, not so much.  He needs to learn that he can't involve himself in other people's lives and completely disrespect them.  People will not always welcome him back with open arms. 

You know what?  What the fuck am I talking about?  Here's the only thing that matters.  I am quit.  Terry is just a hairy internet avatar with zero place in my life.  The only power he has over me is the power that I give him.  And that should go the other way too.  Like hydro pointed out - he needs to quit for himself, not for any aspect of KTC.  It needs to be about him and his life.  Smokeyg only has the power that Terry gives him.  If he's quitting for himself, that's the most important thing.

Fuck, I was hoping that writing all this out would help me feel better.  But now I'm as pissed off as ever.  What the fuck!!!!?????  I guess, I'm sick of feeling betrayed.  I betrayed myself and people close to me so many times in the past when it came to tobacco.  I've made a huge improvement in my life.  I just need to get away from the betrayal.  Fuck.  It sucks to be on the other side.  I was such a dick to my wife for years.  No more.  I'm quit. 

There, now I feel a little better.  I'm going to go buy her flowers.  God, I still take her for granted.  Time to turn that around.  I've been taking my students for granted.  Time to turn that around.  Time to focus more on the physical people in my life.  The bullshit on this site has been a crutch for my own selfishness and escapism long enough. 

See you in August '08.

don't forget the alternate profile Terry created. How low do you have to go to lie about being clean to a bunch of strangers on the internet??

If the day ever arises that I "must" use the nic, I will do one of the following:

1. Remove myself from the site and not post roll again
2. Come back here and face the music.

That's it.

There is no reason to return here and "fake" being quit.

But what the fuck do I know . . . that's just my opinion.

You're not alone....
