Bothersome


Sigh... This post kinda pisses me off. This is actually in responce to sexydisaster30, in her post [post 560513].

Anybody and everybody that reads me, knows me from FriendFinder-x, or knows me in RL, knows that I'm not one to donate my time. I am from the right side of the spectrum, concerning polotics, and I just don't like donating my time due to me being taxed out the ass already for such things. However, after tonight, I'm glad that I did.

What she claims in her post is that I wasn't expecting anything in return... sigh... she's right! I don't expect a thing in return, however, she's not telling the whole story. She has not mentioned the babysitting time spent from her, and her non-boyfriend/boyfriend/short fucker/whatever he is elbman, nor the times she's helped me. Let me digress. This girl has consistantly organized meet and greets for the Atlanta Bloggers. She set up, organized, payed for too many free-loaders (including myself) and in short, made sure everybody had a good time at the Atlanta Blogger meet here in August. She and her boyfriend tried too many times to shove me into a cab after being too drunk to drive, on too many occasions and were actually successful on one occasion.

The disturbing part of all of this post is the fact that this area is pretty large in Atlanta bloggers. We usually have a pretty nice turn out. Sure, she got a lot of calls from others in the area offering their sympothy, but how many stepped up to help?? After everything that she has done to help this group, how many were willing to lend a hand? After being on many calls, many emails, many IM's, listening to the pains of others, how many offered her help? Zero... that's right. Read that again... Zero!

I am not a good person by nature. I am called Napoleon for a reason. I have attitude issues. I am probably not right in the head, but I do know one thing... with as much as this person has gone out of her way to make me comfortable, I was not going to let her do this by herself. You see, her boyfriend is out of town. Her boyfriend could not help. He would if he were here. A lot of people knew this, and still did not a damn thing to lend a helping hand.

I am no hero for helping her. I am not looking for credit on this at all. I am calling a great number of people out for not helping. I am calling out a group of 'friends' for not being friends at all. Sure, pick up a phone and call... whatever you do, do NOT step up and lift a fucking thing!

Lastly, I decided that I'm not so left afterall in my quest to lend a helping hand. This is an entrapraneur that I'm dealing with. This is a girl that works for herself. This is one that understands that when you lose it all (no shit), you lose it all. I respect her courage. I respect her internal fortitude to carry on. I respect that she does whatever she needs to do to climb back up on the . That, my friends, is why I lent a helping hand! I'm sick of working for the man, and she clearly, does not! Take note, all...

Why waste time and emotion on something that is out of your control?

If you have done your part to help, then focus on the joy that comes in giving rather than bemoan the inaction of others.

Just a thought.

Blog On!

Keith, you make a valid point. However, I'm one to always blow steam when I feel I should. It is not out of my control to point those people out. You see, maybe by doing so, they will learn to think of others, rather than just for themselves. That is purely in my control. I did accomplish what was in my control last night.

I do see your side of it, for sure. I guess it's that I get sick of SexyD being run over for her kindness. She's really not one to say anything about it either. Since I consider her a friend, I will stick up for her.

Good for you for stepping up! Be the leader and show the others how it's done.
