In a sick way I want to thank you
for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself,
you were trying to stop the fight
     — “Hate Me,” Blue October

1. The Magnificent: Name someone you absolutely adore, and tell us why.

     Two hundred eleven days, ten hours and forty-two minutes ago, I met someone who made me start getting my shit together.  I needed that. 

2. The Muddy: Tell us something about life you just don’t “get”.

     An Order of Protection can keep an unstable person from owning a gun — and if they’ve never owned a gun, or even plan on owning one, it’s sort of a moot point.  However, if you’re served with an Order of Eviction, no matter the situation (oh, for the sake of this, let’s say, “Retaliation” for serving an Order of Protection), it not only screws up your credit rating (because Evictions are immediately reported to credit bureaus), but also makes it quite difficult to find another place to live, secure employment, gather business capital and, in many cases, causes companies to cease to do business with you.
     The ol’, “You screw me, and I’ll screw you, even if I did deserve it!” mentality is just ridiculous.

3. The Magnetic: Name something or someone good (or bad) you’re drawn to and you just can’t help it. Tell us if you want to change this or not.

     Right now, I’m being drawn to change… changes in lifestyle, work, home, business, and pretty much everything in my life.  Things are looking up, and some time away from the tumult of several situations will afford me the insight and subjectivity that I’m desperately lacking right now.  I’m making some rather serious decisions regarding my future … and loving every minute of it!

4. The Mainstay: Who or what is something you just can’t live without? Why?

     For the last year, I’ve lacked the stability I desperately needed.  The more I get back, the more I realize how much I’ve missed it.

5. The Masquerade: Tell us something about yourself we wouldn’t already know.

     Would anyone guess that I actually sprang from a family of moonshiners & coal miners and spent the first part of my life in a trailer park?  *grin*

6. The Mettle: Tell us about a time you showed courage in yourself, or tell us what you wish you had the courage to do.

     Like everyone else, I have a healthy degree of fear.  Sometimes they’re rational fears, and other times they’re irrational.  But every single day, I try and face them and move forward.  I don’t feel like getting specific right now, so let’s just say that as of this past weekend, fear or not, my life is about to change drastically.
     And I wouldn’t miss it for a second.

Now it’s your turn.

I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
I know, right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me
     — “Unwell,” Matchbox Twenty

1. The Magnificent: Name someone you absolutely adore, and tell us why. 
     My Wildcat found me through a series of bizarre coincidences, and latched on like there was no tomorrow.  She went out of her way, through all of my cynicism, to prove that things some things are meant to be.

2. The Muddy: Tell us something about life you just don’t “get”.
     When going out for breakfast this morning, I listened to a couple of Preacher’s relatives sitting far back away from everyone, talking in no unspecific terms about how cool it was that they were safe, since they’d blamed their accountant for fleecing money from their Church.  Thinking back, I know too many Church accountants who’ve committed suicide over crap like that.  How the Hell can people who are supposed to be leading us be such rotten bastards?

3. The Magnetic: Name something or someone good (or bad) you’re drawn to and you just can’t help it. Tell us if you want to change this or not.
     I’m drawn to my Wildcat, Hell or high water.  It’s a hopeless case.

4. The Mainstay: Who or what is something you just can’t live without? Why?
     See #3.  Retrospectively, I’ve always met a “special someone” at a time when I probably shouldn’t have, when I wasn’t prepared.  This time around, things were different.  I was ready… and now I’m hooked.

5. The Masquerade: Tell us something about yourself we wouldn’t already know.
     Most of my time growing up was spent in the care of other people, usually elderly people.  My Grandmother. Mary, the sister of one of my mother’s managers.  I struggled a lot growing up because I had a lot of Wisdom way too early… and too often forgot to be a kid.  I flip back and forth a lot these days…

6. The Mettle: Tell us about a time you showed courage in yourself, or tell us what you wish you had the courage to do.
     A while back, I had a really intense migraine.  The next day, I lost my mind in a bad way.  I just woke up that morning, and it was gone.  I started therapy… and while a lot of people think that’s not a big deal, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.  These days, I know where my mind is.  I just misplace it sometimes.

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

It’s risky business, hating something about humanity, as it can lead to more dangerous drugs, like self-loathing. Today, however, I’m in a brave mood, so I’ll take a stab at hating voyeurism, or better yet, gossip. Is there no cure? Okay, I think that’s enough hating for one day.

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

I think oxymorons are bogus. For instance, we love to say ‘Good Morning,’ knowing there is really no such thing. I’m going to protest against Webster’s Dictionary and insist they start spelling it ‘Mourning.’  Mournings suck, and I can speak from experience now that I have joined the world of day-shift employees, or associates, or whatever HR insists we are called these days. Having to go to bed early, and not quite managing it, and therefore never getting enough sleep… how could anyone call that good? Honestly, I’m just mourning my bed, so please, STFU.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

I’m unhappy with the Monday Melee. I can’t write the Monday Melee on Monday. I have to sit here on my wondrous Sunday nights, after my most awesome weekends, and pretend like Mondays are acceptable days of the week. Mondays are not acceptable. Mondays are mournings. Please see number 2.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

Exactly 53 weeks ago today, Fracas started doing this Monday Melee thing.  Kudos on a year and one week of Monday Melee! (Thanks Mark, and Fracas.)

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

Some days, I can read what Mark writes. (Mwahahahaha)

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

I wish Mark would stop dissing our home on Monday Melee! What’s wrong with our home, Dude?

“Well, I can feel the heat
from across the room
Ain’t it wild what a little flame
can make you wanna do…”
— Rascal Flatts, “I Melt“

     Ok, so I’ve been remiss in doing the Melee for a while… Here goes:

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

     Some days, no matter what you do, no matter what you say, you just cannot win. Everybody has those kinds of days, and they suck. Fortunately, there’s tomorrow.

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

     A lot of businesses these days wanna run themselves by doing absolutely nothing but blowing smoke up peoples’ asses. It starts from the top. They blow smoke up a manager’s ass about what they’re attempting to accomplish. The manager blows smoke up the employee’s ass that they’re doing an outstanding job when they have plenty of evidence that that’s not the case. The employees then blow smoke up the customer’s asses: “we attempted to ____ but…” (but didn’t), “we feel that we can offer you ____” (but can’t), “We’re sorry you’re unhappy, is there anything we can do for you?” (but won’t).
     Even worse is the whole “potential employee” category, where Management and Upper Management will blow smoke up the ass of every piece of riff-raff that comes through the door. “Oh, your resume is outstanding!” “Yes, you’re a perfect fit in our organization!” “We’ll get the offer letter out to you by the end of the week!” But it’s all smoke and mirrors.
      Business cannot work this way. This is a bullshit, fuzzy-feeling mentality that does nothing but dash hopes and create a customer base who will quickly become impatient at spending their hard-earned money on pipe dreams while getting absolutely nothing in return.

     The exact opposite of this is the service industry business which focuses purely on “new business” instead of taking some care of their existing clientele. I’ve said it a billion times: “What good is new business if you can’t keep it?” Most “first deals” will not earn a dime. Repetition is where that kind of business earns capital. Customer Service is mandatory to stay in the black.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

     I miss my Wildcat.

     Painfully so.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

     Exactly 52 weeks ago today, Fracas started doing this Monday Melee thing.  Kudos on a year of Monday Melee!

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

     Some days, I can write.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

     I found out what “home” is.  I wish I could be there all the time…

“She can’t remember a time
When she felt needed
If love was red then she was colour-blind
All her friends they’ve been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
— Savage Garden, “To the Moon and Back“

     Hey, it’s Monday NIGHT … I was busy!  Cut me some slack.

 1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

     There’s a nasty little thing that all of us get from time to time when we’re unhappy.  Instead of vocalizing what we’re upset about, we go off on everyone single person around us… And we just can’t accept or apologize for it.
     Some of us get over it… and some people don’t.

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

     I’m leaving my answer from last week, because, seriously, that’s a crock:

“I dug my key into the side
of his pretty little sup’ed up four wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires…”
  — Carrie Underwood, “Before He Cheats“

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

     I’m unhappy with my choice if business banking, Suntrust. 

     Suntrust are a bunch of asshats, and unfortunately, completely nameless because their so-called Customer Service department refuses to reveal anything anything more than how much they value me as a customer.  Of course, after saying that, and knowing they’re recorded, they take absolutely no responsibility for their actions, regardless of the fact that they’re not actually doing anything helpful or proactive when faced with what is an absolute catastrophe on their part.
     If I had one name, I’d make an Asshat of the Day post.  But they just won’t give me one…  Wonder why?

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

     This weekend, I was repeatedly mauled by a Kentucky Wildcat.  Damages include many bruises, bite marks, scratches, sporadic blood loss, various serious abrasions, slightly seperated nose cartilage and swollen extremities.
     And I so look forward to the coming weekend…

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

     Knock me down on the way to the goal, and you only strengthen my resolve.  The further down the hole I get, the harder I’ll dig, because I know damn well I’ll see the other side.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

     There’s a place I wanna be… and I can see it… it’s so close… I’ve been there before, and I’ll get there again… and hopefully, just hopefully… Oh, man, that’ll make our lives so much easier… *grin*

    And I thought, “Well, Hell, I’ve written a crapload in the last year…”  We’ll call it a debut, and maybe by this time next year, I’ll have final, finished products, eh?  I’ve been too busy, and trying to stay away from doing anything too damned meticulous… With music, I always end up getting caught in technicalities…

no reason to abstain

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate adore.

The outpouring of love for the daughter of a friend really goes to show ya how supportive people can be.

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus true, honest and good.

Acquaintances comes and go, but true friendship is forever.  My friends … they are my family.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

I’m really happy with the way my weekend turned out given a horrible beginning.  Hanging with friends and making new ones is always a good thing.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

Even when my give-a-damn factor is bottomed out, where circumstances are completely beyond my control, sometimes I wish there was something I could do to help.  Like now … I wish I could wave my hand and go, “All that stuff your going through?  It’s over.  It never happened.  Neat, eh?”  Unfortunately, cancer just isn’t one of those things.

Instead, you do what you can in your own way.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

I hate the fact that there are so many awful people out there that would wait until their wife/girlfriend/lover is about to burst at the seams with impending child birth and kill them.  I mean, come on.  If a man is cheating, or doesn’t want a baby, or whatever… WALK OUT ASSHOLE!  Don’t kill her because you are a bottom-feeding freak of nature. 

Don’t prey on someone who is in too vunerable a condition to be able to appropriately fight back.  She (and her baby) has a right to live.

Pure evil.

And, as usual, drama queens and attention whores will forever be something I just loathe.

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

I have only one in mind, and I’m not so sure it would be a good thing.  So, since I can’t say something nice today, I’ll keep my yap shut.  ZZZZZip.

I will expose myself though.  I am a complete fake.  I am not the sweet, kind, loving, caring, angelic individual that you all know and love.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

I’m unhappy that I am simply not a morning person.  I would go so far as to say I’m anti-morning.  I manage to drag myself out of bed just in time to have a shower, pour some coffee down my throat and drive to work with my head hanging out the window in order to get that wicked windblown look. So, I am unhappy that I can’t appreciate a new day any earlier than 5:00pm.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

Today I give my fiancee complete and total credit for putting up with my constant string of shit.  I generally give him a run for his money.  But, lately I’ve been extremely emotional (imagine that) and have been taking him on the rollercoaster ride of the century.  Lately I’ve been worse than a spoiled 5 year old.  He over looks my sarcasm most of the time and doesn’t take it totally personal.  Go Tony.  You’re one hell of a man, man.

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

I think it’s good that I can admit being a total ass-munch.  See #4.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

This week to hurry and be over.  We go on vacation next week.  So, all the good stuff I wished for on last week’s Melee may just come true. 

At least the cold beer and sex part.

Go Diva, Go Diva, Go Diva

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

I really hate when coworkers taunt one another. Why are some people so incapable of accepting their own faults and weaknesses that they point out every fault and weakness in someone else as a ridiculous attempt to feel superior? I’m the fearless leader who gets to build a team with young’uns like this. Where’s that play pen?

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

Coke adds life. (Would you believe me if I told you I haven’t watched TV, or commercials, in a really long time?) Coke used to add life, before the Moral Majority got ahold of the recipe. Now all Coke adds are big hips, zits, and tooth decay.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

Cat hair notwithstanding, I really hate being confused over the appropriate use of the ‘b’ word versus the ‘c’ word, like there is anything appropriate about either word. Big thanks to Mark and Zacque for clearing that one up for me.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

The Shakespearean Insulter… dis ‘em with style.

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

I don’t have a ’special purpose,’ but I am bright enough to consult Freud’s library and learn to deal with the envy.

I wish for a hammock under a thatched roof, a Calypso band, and a plentiful supply of Goombay Smash.
