Dave! I'm sorry I didn't know you were still here until this afternoon. I loved your story, though! Very nice.

Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a blast and that you're not all too worn out to recount your fabulous weekend to us all.

Wacky fun!

That's ok. Funny thing about the annoying little facets of the infotainment age. You finally get to relying on features like email notification for replies and then the software goes and gets all wonky on you leaving you unaware that you've been replied to at all.

Thank you. It got a bit more Twilight Zone than I thought it would but that's the way of story telling. Sometimes the stories take you places you hadn't meant to go.

i'd already had so much to drink by the time I had a broadside that I didn't even really notice it, lol

I'm glad you liked the Broadside. They do rock. I do however, completely regret having three of them followed by all the rum. Not because of hangovers or pain or anything like that, there was none of that. But because I turned into a complete ass, and I hurt people I love. For that I can never appologize enough, but I'll keep trying.
I'm sorry. I truly am.
I let my personal issues and frustration with my selfish thoughts fuel my need to be numb for a while, and my need for answers lead me to running my mouth when it should have stayed shut. Some of the stuff that came out of my mouth, was never even in my head. I have no idea where it came from, it must have been jumbled with other things. Thoughts crossed paths. I didn't mean those things.
I am sorry.

Now She'll Never Know

In the after-silence fighting leaves behind
I try to think it over
But my mind's gone blind
I lost the right to argue somewhere down the line

I had to tell
She told me to
Go to Hell
And here I am

In the gaping hole
Home truths tear in a home
Married to this hurting
I know it's all my fault

Who can tell
Looks like we have
A house to sell

Now she'll never know
What anyone could tell her
Now she'll never know
What anyone can see
Now she won't believe me
Ever again, completely

Now I hang around
Feet back on the ground
I just can't stand
I just can't stand

Now she'll Never know
What anyone could tell her
Now she'll never know
What anyone can see
Now she won't believe me
Ever again, completely
Now she'll never know
Or ever dream
How much she means to me

Scared of changing who I am

Heya, Jade.

Relax, man. You were entirely honourable throughout. Better than: gorram cool costume, f'rinstance, as in, better than anything I wore, eh? Nothing that you said drew any vibe suggesting offence. In fact, kudos from me for trying to work out the deep thoughts. Cuz, trivial gets too shallow too quickly -- I oughta know.

I'm immensely glad to have met you in person. You have added to the positives in my life. And I thank you for that.

As for those Broadsides: nothing but excellent reviews! *Clunk!*

***
For those who remember anything after being "broadsided", eh?

Had a blast and a half of the finest kind. Took no prisioners, drank lots and made even more friends, can't have too many. I even got a chance to defend my happy place from invaders when a bunch of uncouth natives tried to sneak across the wire and make mischief of our festivities. All in all It couldn't have been much better except the weather, over a hundred degrees and humid. Yes global warming has come to the California desert. The fighters really showed their mettle fighting in full armor under those conditions.

Ouch. Anything past 80 and I demand my air be conditioned.

Adversity builds character. If it was paradise we couldn't afford the rent and everyone would be there. So we comprimise. We get the best people and make do with the rest. For the really hardcore, check out Burning Man. Those guys are truly dedicated to partying under the harshest conditions. At least we had shade and the winds were reasonable.

I appreciate the sentiment Cozen. I'm glad to have met you also, and look forward to the next time we've the chance to raise glasses together. But I think the Sunday night was worse than that. I hear I did some pretty bad things. I hate not remembering them. But, my mind was spinning from all of the questions in my head about a great many things. I used the wrong method for running, and must watch myself with that tool more closely in the future.
It's sad that even in that state, I stay with the deep thoughts and trying to reason out my severely mixed up head.
Yes the Broadsides were a success. I'll have to make more at some point, I just won't have that many.

*was broadsided into stupidity.

But I have never seen these streets so fresh Washed with morning rain
I have seen this face a thousand times Every morning of my life
But I never saw these eyes so clear Free of doubt and pain
Like the whole world has been made again."
