totally off topic but i need to get it out.
10 minutes ago i saw a person i had not seen in 6 years. weird part is that i just had a dream that i saw him. the last time i saw this person he was lying to police in an attempt to send me to prison, and it almost worked. if i had not spent 12 grand on a lawyer i would be there today, and for another few years.
i saw red. he was standing not 3 feet in front of me. for 6 years i have been thinkin what i would do if i ever saw him again. you can bet your ass that i wanted to fight him right then and there in the market. but i didnt. my adrenaline is still pumping because of it. instead of doing anything rash (which would have ensured my return to jail and severely complicated my now happy life) i took a few steps back, out of the line and browsed the candy aisle. i let him turn and leave while i cooled my jets in the aisle, and watched as he drove away.
i like to think that i am a far better person than i was at that point in my life when i was incarcerated. this has proved it to me, back then i could not have done this. even though he did me wrong (we were once best friends) i let it go. sure it would have felt good to swing on him, but no drama is worth going to jail for and losing everything i have worked so hard to accomplish in my life.
i hope that a weed nerd can learn from my situation, this guys lies resulted in my being a felon for 5 years until i got my record expunged last year. but i still let it go.
i lost my right to vote, my right to hunt, took a big hit in the public face of the small comminity, and now have an estranged relationship with my remaining grandmother. but i still let it go.
some things in life are far more important than settling old scores.
if i can let this go, whatever problems you guys are having, just think... does it amount to more than losing your freedom for years, and is it really that important?
i reallly hope you guys take this experience of mine as a life lesson, and that there are always more important things in life than any drama any person has ever caused you.
that being said, its time to vaporize away the remaining anxiety. Keep it Green guys!
