I just want to clarify again that my last post has nothing to do with anyone on this site. I tried to do this before, but it was hard considering I couldn't give details. As far as I know nobody is gossiping about me on here. The situation i was referring to has nothing to do with anything I have ever talked about before or anything about my relationship with someone on this site. Now I'll try and go back on my sabbatical and put this behind me because I got a lot to do homework wise and despite being on spring break I haven't gotten any of it done.
Its just that I don't think I'll be around to defend myself and that is why i posted what I did. Hopefully nobody will ever find out what I had to do, but just in case you did, I wanted you to understand that I had to do it rather than it was something I did on a whim or without really being sure that what I did was the right thing.
Thanks for all your support everyone, including (e:leetee) who behind the scenes has given me lots of kind words of encouragement. imk it was definitely good seeing you. I'll pass it on that you think my friend is cute. She certainly is! thanks jason and metalpeter. you guys are all so nice and caring people which makes all of the ugliness I have seen in people lately (again not referring to the (e:peeps)) not so sad.

In case you hear my nameIf anyone hears someone running their mouth off about me and a decision I had to make recently please tell them to check their facts. What I had to do was the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. This was something I have been agonizing over for days and not something I did to be vindictive or petty. This is about somebody's life. I did the right thing regardless of whatever this person THINKS they know about the situation. Sorry for being vague, but I think it is necessary for me to protect the privacy of those involved, unlike the person that doesn't quite have their facts right.

PS. This doesn't have anything to do with anyone on the site, but some of you know this person. Just in case they haven't finished with their ugly gossip yet.
I'm doing my best to hang in there. These days have been terribly sad for me. Everything I have had to deal with lately is making me much stronger. I'm not going to let other people's hateful selves ruin me. I have seen enough of people's dark side (Not anyone on this site) in a period of less than two weeks to last a lifetime. It really makes me suffer, but I guess I can say that I am not blind and I would rather see the reality of the world instead of closing my eyes and pretending that it is something it isn't.
Take care everyone.

Every one has a darkside. It is just have they learned to keep it in balance. I too am usually vague to protect people's privacy! You are doing what is best for you and that is what matters! Keep the faith!

Libertad, there will always be haters, and this is a fact. Try not to let them affect you. Hang in there man!

I doubt I will hear anyone running there mouth about you. Even If I did I really couldn't say much since I don't have all the facts. I think that often people just listen to the person they know and assume that what the herd is the entire story. Without taking lies and Manipulation into the equation, there are all ways (if only two people are invovled) 3 stories. One from each person and the truth of what really happened and most of the time they are all different. But most people don't take that fact into consideration or don't think, "I wonder if I have all the facts".

SabbaticalHello (e:peep) friends and (e:voyeurs),
In case you haven't noticed I haven't posted in almost two weeks. That is cause I am on estrip sabbatical right now. Maybe I'll come back in May. Time is moving faster than it ever has in my life.
One thing I couldn't resist looking at was (e:metalpeter)'s great pics of the st. matty's day affair. There is one pic where it looks as if I'm going to slap the shit out of (e:terry). Really I'm just leaning against a wall and am not winding up to unleash my wrath on terry.
Lator Gators,
call or send an email if you want to get a hold of me.
peace in the middle east ya'll

That's so awesome that you can do that stuff. I wish I knew how to do some of that.
Were you at the bookstore cafe thursday afternoon? I thought maybe I saw you walking out there, but I wasn't sure.

What do you regret?This is completely random and I feel like posting it even though you are all sick of me bringing up Cuba. Really I haven't seen any of the people that I went there with since we got back. So now all in the same week I see 3 out of 7 of them. This guy I ran into day was only with us for a month, but we all got to know him pretty well considering we were on a bus together for twelve days traveling the country. Anyways he came to a Buddhist meeting tonight that I was emceeing! I didn't recognize him because his hair was all long and he looked compltely different and he was introduced by the english pronunciation of his name. All of this is bringing up so much in my life. Actually amazing thing is that the Buddhist organization i belong to JUST became officially recognized by the Cuban government and they are now compltely official. Daisaku Ikeda, the president had met personally with Fidel many years ago. The revolution has seriously impeded religious freedoms in the past and they are now slowly opening up. This is such a great victory. To share one of my biggest regrets, not trying hard enough to connect with other members in Cuba. I had a chance to meet these people and be a part of something truely historical, but didn't. Regrets suck.
It was so good to see all of these people. Wish I could say more about all of this, but......It's top secret.

First of all you are welcome. From what I have seen of you on the site and at parties you seem like a pretty nice and level headed guy. I also wanted to add that I think what (e:jason) said about he being the nasty person before is probably true of everyone at least once. So I wish you luck in dealing with what you are dealing with. I hope you enjoy the rest of your spring break and I look forward to reading your posts again when you return.
keep your eye on the prize chamaco
Libertad, hell man I've been that nasty, ugly, hateful person before. All of us have to an extent. One of the things I learned in, ahem, treatment is that we can see and recognize things in other people that remind us of ourselves at some point. It makes it easier for us to forgive, and to take it easy on someone who's having a rough time (instead of piling on).
Not knowing your situation, all I can say basically is that I hope things get easier to deal with on your end. My ex girlfriend said she had to break up with me. She didn't want to, she had to. I had (and have, to an extent) a very difficult time swallowing that. Regardless, I know that people sometimes have to do things they don't want to do, that don't feel good, but are for the best.
Anyhow, I'm in my usual form (long winded). Take care of yourself, and hopefully see you around here sooner than later.
Sorry for whatever has brought all this angst on you. Anything I can do, let me know. You got friends here
