Remember in the beginning of the year I had this whole new outlook on how things were going to be in my life?  Within the first couple of weeks 2009 kicked my ass showed me who was his bitch.  That would be me.

Honestly, the reason I haven’t written much in Random and Odd is fear of repercussion.   Whenever I write something, someone takes every thing I say and turns it around. They also give me shit for having this place on the in the internet. They give me shit for having five minutes to sit down and write.

It reminded me of the time I thought I would make my step-son’s mother  a very nice video (when home video cameras were sort of new) of her son playing with his daddy in our first home and she watched it and then proceeded to call us and tell us every health hazard she witnessed on the video (sliding glass door to close to the couch…might get off couch and lose balance and fall through it. Forgot to shut the bathroom door, he might fall in the toilet. ect..)  Except…looking back on how crazy my ex-husband’s baby momma was…she was a walk a park compared to now.

You know though…my 37th birthday is coming up and there is one thing I have learned in the last twenty years and that is to say, “fuck you.  fuck that. fuck off.”
I’ve also come to realize that if I write here or NOT write here I am still getting shit for it ….so I am going to write here.

In addition to that bullshit, this website caused my neighbors to go around and try to get my neighbors to sign a petition to make me move.  They have been reading Random and Odd for some time and I honestly couldn’t care less because there is nothing I have said about them, anyone else or even myself that isn’t true.
He confronted me one day and mentioned that I was making him out to be a prick on the internet.  I honestly had no clue how to respond to that because I thought a better name had never picked.  He said he wanted to ‘sit down and talk about this.’ and I agreed. I told him to get his wife and I would get my husband and we would sit down and talk about it.
He never called.
He has asked me if he could remove a tree because it was blocking up his pipes.  I said, ‘sure’ from the start. He removed the tree.  Haven’t really had any problems with him since. We do fine just ignoring each other now.  As long as my dogs aren’t being harmed and the cops have stopped showing up at my house because I have weeds growing in my backyard that are, without a doubt, normally taller than the fence…I’m happy.  Oh and when he goes out of town and takes his dogs, because when he doesn’t…hours and hours of yapping dogs…..but truthfully that isn’t that often anymore and I have to say my dogs do their fair share of annoying barking (thanks to the kids at the school)

I use to be that person that wanted everyone to get along.  When someone thought something of me that wasn’t true, I was hurt beyond repair.
No, i’m not perfect and I have these monumental flaws…but I don’t use people, I don’t say mean things to people out of anger or frustration, even when I have been done wrong I will still do respectful things and I don’t feel that I am owed any favors.
The one thing I truly stand for is FAIRNESS.

Never take more than you give.

and I will finish off this post with that because I’m pretty sure my dog is tearing up toilet paper in the bathroom.
