Shared on Fri, 07/24/2009 - 14:34I made another attempt to contact a person from my past… I went on to facebook under an alias, because I really only want to talk to 3-4 people and have the rest of them leave me alone….so I sent this to his email
Hey _______.
It’s me, ___________, Its really been a while, almost 10 years since the whole gang got together. Since our glorious class decided they will not be holding a 10yr reunion I was hoping a few of the old gang could get together for a beer and catch up. I was thinking about meeting up at the Brewery, maybe hit up a club or two.
I thought I’d start planning this out early (yeah, I know it’s almost a year in advance) since the old gang is spread across the country, so let me know if you’d be interested, or if you are coming into town.
The response I got…..
Dear _________,
There is no reason why any of us would need to get together, we have all stayed in touch with each other and have had several get-togethers with the old gang, and there is no reason for us to get together with you, or ________. I know way back when, we always agreed to never hold a grudge against another person from our group, but if you don't know why everyone is avoiding you or _______ then you have a lot more problems that you let on. There is no need to try to contact the others, I’ve forward this email to them already and this is a universally agreed upon response. We know you have been emailing several of us to try to reconcile with the group, but our ignoring your emails doesn’t appear to be getting our point across. We don’t mean to be rude or mean, but a stand must be made and we all agree that you have no place with us anymore.
Now, I’m racking my brain trying to figure out what I did, or what the other guy booted from the group may have done…granted my memory isn’t the best, and that was a time when I had more concussions and heavy blows to the head from wrestling and boxing that I don’t remember doing or saying a lot of things…but you’d think something that warranted a letter like that would have been over something big enough to warrant some kind of repressed memory….a twinge of guilt….even a bit of indigestion…but all I get is an odd sense of confusion....and a ringing in my ear, but I don’t think that is from this….
So, lesson learned (again)….screw them, I have new friends now…and I think my wife would have taken one look at them and reminded me that I’m not one of those losers anymore and we have nothing in common with them…..which is the truth…they have kids…..we have jobs, a house, a life, a future…. Yeah…screw them…
Auto out-
Just noticed my article was posted to the homepage...thanks Drost!
