By any means necessary

And still no response. I take it that after she read the email I sent her, all she had to do was wait until my birthday and she would be rid of me.


It wasnt till about a week later that i had enough of the bullshit. I needed to speak to her. I was mad. I was really angry. But there was still no way for me to reach her. Finally I had got it. I had to take mattters into my own hands. I told my friend Victoria to text her that I had been in a car accident. I had it all planned out too. I was driving down the the 80 and in order to avoid a pile up I had to pull a 180 off the road into the center divider. I waited to see if she would call me. She text Victoria back asking if i was ok. She said she didn't know. Then she finally called me. I just let it ring. For once I hoped that her heart was pounfing in her chest, hoping that I would be ok or that she would feel some kind of guilt about never talking to me.


I sat there for at least twenty minutes. just waiting. I finaly called her back. She answered this time She asked if I was ok, and I fed her my bullshit story. I hope she was smart enough to see how farfetched my story was. It didne matter if she believed me or not, and I didn't care if she did. I was glad that it worked cause I finally had her on the phone. I could finally say all the things that wanted to say to her, I wanted to throw everything I had at her.


But for some reason I didn't. I dont know what happened. Maybe it was just the fact that we were talking and that I was just glad to hear her voice. Or maybe I'm too much of a nice guy and I forgive too easily under pressure. I don't think I had it in me to just yell at this girl. Maybe she was right when she said that me being a libra causes me to overthink. I understood our situations, and I guess for one moment over the phone with her I couldn't see a reason to be genuinely mad at her.


We talked about things, regular things. The things that just dont matter. Maybe it was the type of conversation that two people have when they both want to avoid the real matter at hand. It was like two friends getting back in touch after years of not speaking to one another. She told me it was wrong what she did, but she never actually apologized.


And thats something that stuck in my my mind for a while. I've spoken to many friends, (some of whom might be reading this right now) and they all agreed that she did me dirty. It came to the point where I ended up defending her actions to make her sound less like the epitomy of evil. Also it helped me lie to myself that our relationship wasn't circiling the drain. I always knew it, everyone knew it too. I even predicted the outcome. Damn... I should have put money on it.


CUT TO: 3 days later... I hate everything.

The hardest thing I've ever had to write

Hi... I've been wanting to talk to you for the longest time, but that just seems unlikely nowadays. I just want to know what's going on between us. I'm not gonna lie to you, I've been trying to write you this message for a couple hours now, I just cant figure out what to say and what not to say. But this is me 100 percent honest. I don't know what happened to make you not want to talk to me anymore. I get that you're busy, but so busy that you wont speak to me for a month? I don't know what I did to deserve this. I really care about you, but i feel like you just moved away and moved on. I hope thats not the case. I want to be in this relationship with you, but there has to be a communication, I know you know this. But if you want to break it off, I want you to tell me and tell me why.. just don't leave me hanging please. that could be one of the meanest things you could do to someone. so i'll leave it like this; i want you to call me, anytime before my birthday. if i dont hear from you, I'll assume the worst and that you just don't want anything to do with me and I'll leave you alone.. you know where to find me and how to reach me. i really hope to hear from you and I love you very much p.s. I hope that our of respect of our friendship this message can stay a private matter..


well, i guess i didn't keep up my end of the PS.

It was dead before it hit the floor

When she left I went on with my daily activities. I chose to give her space and wait for her to call me. she'd probably be really busy moving and getting settled in. A week passed, and then another week. Finally I start to call her. Nothing, I text her and I get a response about a week later.


(This is the actual text conversation we had. I cant find my side of the conversation so ill do my best to fill in the blanks)


Jaime: How you doing?


HER: ITS BEEN ONE CRAZY WEEK


Jaime: I'd imagine, hope everthing is going well, im happy for you.


HER: THANKS JAIME HOWS WORK?


Jaime: Its going good, it hasnt picked up yet. hows class so far?


HER: GOOOOOOOOOOD. THATS GOOD.YOU'RE DOIN WELL FOR YOURSELF. AND SCHOOL JUST STARTED, SO I'VE ONLY BEEN TO HALF MY CLASSES. SO FAR IT'S GOOD. LOTSA WORK.


Jaime: cool... i dont mean to sound like a broken record. but, i just wanted to say that i miss you


HER: I KNOW U DO. ITS OKAY. I HAVE BEEN GONE A WHOLE WEEK. I'LL VISIT SOON.


Jaime: cool, i saw that you watched mega shark vs giant octupus


HER: INDEED I DID. EPICNESS


Jaime: good movie, a shark attacking a 707.


HER: MORE LIKE ANIHINLATING AN AIRPLANE


Jaime: Well I'm glad that everything is good. Call me ok?


HER: WILL DO :) TAKE CARE!!!


I didnt hear from her ever again. My friend Adam told me that if I wanted to call or talk to her then I should. So I did. I called her a bunch of times. Still no answer. Until one day I had to send her an email.



CUT TO: 2 months later, and I hate your guts

So things were sailing between me and her. We were together, and from what I thought, happy. She was getting ready to move to San Francisco. I felt like I saw less of her as the day she moved grew closer. I just took it as she needed time to get ready. the last day i saw her was the day before she moved. Thursday, August 27th. I spoke to her on the phone earlier and she told me she would be free to hang around four and go to the thrift store. (cause that was her thing) I drove to her house and knocked on her door. she answered with the most surprised look in her face. I guess she only speculated that she might be able to hang out if she finished packing, which she wasn't of course. I was embarrassed for showing up at her house unnanounced. No, i just felt stupid. I apologized profusley and acted like it was no problem. I said it was cool, and I almost joked that I did it on purpose. She thought I was mad but I assured her I wasnt and pretended to brush it off. I kissed her goodbye (which to my surprise, was goodbye for good) and I walked back to my car. I got in and before I turned the key to the ignition I just sat there to myself and all i could say was "Fuck".


at 4:48 that day i recieved a text from her and it read: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH JAIME.AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU CAME ALL THE WAY OVER JUST TO SEE LITTLE OLE ME. IM SORRY IM SO BUSY.


(no joke, it took me damn near ten minutes to search through my phone for that one text. I scrolled through so many of her messages. I felt an anxiety that only comes around during the worst of situations. It just reawakened feelings that were apparently buried in a shallow grave.)


Anyways, so I get the text but I decided not to answer it. I was confused for a bit leading up to the days of her departure. I didn't understand why we were seeing less of each other when she was moving away so soon. Some would think the opposite. Cause if that were me, I'd want to see her as much as possible.

Vampires

Do they exist? I think that every case of spontaneous combustion is the government tying to cover up the existance of vampires.

Foreward

Those reading should not consider this a book think of it as just me talking to you. If you're a friend of mine... Hi! If you're not... Welcome! I hope you'll find this interesting and if not, this will make really fancy toilet paper. If you're a family member, then this will probably explain why i keep missing out on those oh-so-important family get togethers.

Foreword to the Foreword

This is dedicated to you... and me.


I want to let everyone know that this is going to get crazy. There will be profanity. I'm crazy, this book is full of crazy, and if you're going to read further than this page... you're crazy. Don't say i didn't warn you.

Scrrenplay this Disaster...

So back in 2009 for some reason I had this crazy idea to write a book. With all the things that happened to me that year it would be a shame not to share it with the world. What I didn't know was that probably half of the book would be about this breakup that I went through. Henry Miller once said "The best way to get over a woman is to turn her into literature." I guess he said it best... The entries in this blogspot are completely true, the events happened the way I remember them and from my own personal account. This is by no means a stab at the ex. This is just the way life works. So lets see. Shall I start from the beginning?

2 Chapters walk into a bar...

CHAPTER 1
Do you think Chapter 3 will
be any better than the both of us?

CHAPTER 2
It better be. We completely
blew it out there.

CHAPTER 1
Another scotch?

CHAPTER 2
Yeah sure...
