What I Got

[thatnewcarsmell]

Last Friday was weird. I had to think about it kind of a while before deciding to write about it. I mean, I could've done it that first weekend, but I've been busy and putting it off, but I also wanted to think a bit. I got fired that morning. That was really no big deal. I laughed about it. I got called in and walked in to my supervisor cussing

I agree, you are a great guy. I'm proud to count you as one of my friends.
However - airing the dirty laundry for all to see is not the gentlemanly, kind, or merciful way to handle your pain. You can't have it both ways - you can't be the knight in shining armor and the gossip. Every time you feel the need to remind us all how wonderful you are I cringe because I know you're going to follow it up by saying something dreadful. Even if it's true, that doesn't make it the worlds business. Even if this is your journal and you don't feel the need to censor yourself, saying all this - harping on it- is just for the benefit of the people reading it. If it were just for you to remember then you would make it private, wouldn't you? I think I can say all this because I've done it myself in response to the ending of a relationship of my own and I'm so ashamed that I did. It didn't help anything.
You are for SO many reasons a wonderful and awesome guy, but these entries are not proof of that.

Brutally honest. I like, but disagree. I can honestly say that I do not write in here because I want people to read it, and that I'm not concerned about making things private because it doesn't matter to me. I think I only wrote the justifications to back things, even if it was subconscious, to make myself feel better. Often it helps and I think I've earned at least that much. I've made several really good friends from randomly finding them on the internet, because neither my nor their whatever profile it was, was not set on private. That includes you, whom I never would have met without Robin having a dorky hotornot profile, which was kind of like the prehistoric myspace, and I'm very glad to have met you both

I feel slightly opposite of "silkenmaiden". I have always held the belief that what happens in the world is for the world to know. I do not see how someone can see it disrespectful of others when you write about what has happened to you. If they did not want you to tell horrible stories of themselves, they should not of done horrible things.

i'm not at all worried about his ex being disrespected. she gets what she gets and i'm sure she deserves it often enough. i'm more concerned with aaron respecting himself. to me - him posting all this doesn't put him in an ideal light. he isn't being the best he can be by giving in to the anger.
does that make more sense? i don't want what i posted before to be confused as concern for the best interest of candy over the best interest of aaron.

I dont see how this is him "giving into the anger". He is more just recalling the events in an autobiographical sense with his opinion.

But thats just how I read it.
