MUST VENT

Do any of you have friends that seem to think that the only time you contact them is when you want something from them?  Well this past week and a half or so, I have had 3 people say that about me....even my own mother said so.  Now I am a busy guy, I go to work between 7-9pm, get home between 4-7am, sleep, pick my son up from school, eat dinner and repeat Sunday through Thursday.  Friday nights, Durty has her kids, and I have mine here and were pretty much consumed with kid time......Saturday we get rid of the kids around 4-6pm, and the remainder of the night will either involve, me and Durty doing something, my band practice, or inviting friends over to hang out.

My best friend whom I've been friends with since Kindergarten, is a mechanic, he has always helped, and fixed what ever automotive problem I've had.  And I compensate him for his efforts.  Last week the transmission in my GMC Jimmy went out, broke down 6 blocks from my house, this was on Friday.  I call my friend let him know what has happened, he said, ok, l'll get you home when I get off work.  And no return call for the remainder of the evening.  Saturday noonish, I get woke up by Durty freaking out saying that there is a cop pounding on the door.  I get up, go to the door, he asks me about my car, that is on the side of the road.  I tell him I haven't been able to get a tow to get it home, but I am working on it.  I call my mechanic buddy, he says that he cant get his truck started to tow me.  Time goes on, my ex calls to make arrangements for the pick up of my son, and I tell her what's going on, and her boyfriend, says he has a tow strap and can help me get my Blazer home.  So we go get it, he pulls me with his little Saturn, and a 6 foot long strapping strap to tow it with.

I get it home, I call my mechanic buddy just to tell him that I got it home......he doesn't answer his phone.  In the middle of all this a mutual friend had come over, and helped Durty change the tire on her car, and swap out batteries so her car would work, and he tells me that Tom (the mechanic), is pissed because the only time I call him is when I want something........never mind the time I offered him an extra baseball game ticket, or the time I let him take Durty to a GWAR concert, where he got drunk and asked her to suck his dick.  The point being I just don't call when I want something.

Now on to my mother.  I love her to death, but she really doesn't know how to show love or affection, not only in a physical way but emotional as well.  3 weeks ago, I had worked a long two days worth of driving, and had maybe 5 hours of sleep in 2 days.  It was Friday, at 8 am, I called my mom at work to see if she could pick up my son from school, which is 2 blocks away from her work, and they leave at the same time.  And she acts like I asked for her soul.  Saying "Do I have to".  She may see her only grandchild once a month, and its always by my doing, not by her asking to spend time with him.  SO I went without sleep to go pick him up from school, and went 2 weeks without speaking to my mother, and Durty calls her the other day, that's when my mother said I only call when I want something.

I don't have time to call everyone I know to "chit-chat".  I'm busy with life, and I realize most other people are busy with their lives.  And the thing that pisses me off the most about it, is these same people that bitch about me not calling 'unless I want something', don't take their own time to call me....... ever.......why, I'm guessing its because I have nothing to offer them.

What comes around goes around, you reap what you sew, etc.....

and you wonder why I hate people

Thanks for listening
