  • Man, my poor daughter.

    This was her life. When her mom died she dealt with the guilt that followed her relief.

    Having known her mom all of my life and seen everything she went through as a child, I wish some kind of ghost of Christmas past could take my daughter and show her so she can see that her mom wasn’t always like that. That at one time she was a little girl waiting on the day she could escape her own mom. At one point she was young and a lot like her.

    I always figured they’d get it right when she grew up, but she never got that chance.

    FUCK CANCER. Seriously.





  • I live deep in the Appalachian mountains and I haven’t met a single person interested in the things that I am since I was a kid.

    I’m so bad and hate socializing so much that I recently got the Mortal Kombat II deluxe arcade cabinet, the same dude kept joining my match every single time I played so I just stopped going online haha.

    He contacted me and we talked once, and that was that.

    I really like him too, I just can’t handle it. Even that tiny little bit of it.

    I don’t know why I’m like that. I’m not bad at talking to people. I’ve been told I’m damn good at it. I’ve been told I’m charismatic and all that. There’s just something broken in me.

    Probably comes from the abuse I suffered as a kid if I’m being honest. It was rough, and it trained me I guess.

    But then again, my whole family is like me. I don’t even know 90% of them, but I can tell you that 90% of them do not have Facebook. The ones that do, they don’t ever post, they don’t ever like, nothing. It’s like it’s just who we are or something.

    I have brothers who grew up in different households. Two of them never experienced any abuse as children, they were spoiled. They are just like me. They talk to no one.


  • I’ve done the whole therapy thing, I just do not have it in me to have friends.

    I haven’t had a desire to make a friend since I was a kid.

    I do get lonely. I’ll have a thought that I’d like to share and I know I drive my wife crazy.

    I wouldn’t even care if I could find a way to make some money. Right now I’m a stay at home dad. That’s what my wife wanted me to do. I was making money on the stock market, not taking big risks, just making above minimum wage. Then the election happened and now that’s over.

    Thank you for caring.



  • I initially thought it was a funny way to address it. I’m straight, but I got bullied and called gay constantly in school because I didn’t fit the rural, huntin’, big belt buckle, rebel flag, cowboy boot wearing stereotype of masculinity.

    To them, being called gay was the worse thing you could do to them because it called their masculinity into question.

    When I was 17 I called this cowboy hat, belt buckle kid a homophobe for calling me gay. At first he thought I was calling him a homo, and it was so funny to say, “it means you’re such a pussy that you’re scared of queers.”

    I think it was worse for him than if I had called him gay. Then he had to go on a tirade about how he wasn’t scared of queers, so I replied, “Ah, you’re just scared you might be queer. I see.”

    I went home with a blacked eye, but I never lay in bed wishing I had said anything different with that one haha.






  • Pay them more? So they can lose their benefits? Are you crazy?

    I’m kidding, of course. I know that what you mean is, “pay them so that they can afford to live without requiring benefits.”

    You get into some of the poorer places in the country though, that truly would be nearly impossible for most businesses. There are some places in West Virginia that would immediately have no access to gasoline, groceries, etc.

    It is crazy to think that Bobby McBusinessman gets to ride around in a giant RV all summer because the government pays his employees. They don’t see it that way though, as they collect their HUD payments and accept food stamps while all of their employees receive food stamps and medical benefits.

    All while the rest of the community lives on nothing and experiences very little joy in this life.

    What do I know though? I’m just a pissed off hillbilly who helped make someone who isn’t me very rich.
