Cali, Balla, DT--

Please understand--I haven't, don't, won't take any unintentional shots at any of you.

I think that all of you are pretty cool. But this post makes me a little nervous (and I know--if I didn't like it-I didn't have to respond. But here is my take on the situation:

Cali--pretty much everything that comes from you lately involves how hurt you are. I am VERY SORRY TO HEAR that. You sound like you are pretty cool person. And it kind of bothers me to hear that you are having a hard time.

But this is what I am thinking--the more that you read stuff like this--the more depressed that you are going to be. I mean, you already sound like you are a little depressed (based on your posts) already. Why make it worse by reading/posting stuff like this? Again--I am not trying to tell you what to do--I am trying to give you a different perspective. If you feel like I am out of line--my fault.

Balla/DT--if you know girls who wouldn't want to tell their boyfriends/significant others the truth about this situation--again--my fault. My opinion is that, if my wife (or even when she was my "girlfriend", pulled a stunt like this--I would never consider offing my self. I would feel more like I have an OBLIGATION TO HER--to make MY LIFE WORK--or more along the lines of honoring her memory by trying to live life in a manner that would make her proud. And you know what--I know for a FACT--that she would not want me to off myself. She would WANT ME TO FIND A WAY TO BE HAPPY. And that probably has a lot to do with the fact that she loves me more than she loves herself.

I understand the need to back your friends here--but the 3 of you seem to bring up heartbreak, depression, etc a lot lately. Do you wonder why?

Seriously--all 3 of you are GREAT! Find something that is a little more uplifting. It makes the day a lot easier to get through.

And last--if this type of stuff is circulating through myspace, I am glad that I am not a part of it. That is my own opinion.

Like I said--do me a favor and think about where I am coming from. I am not trying to put you down--but more like trying to get you to realize that it is time to start building yourselves up. At the END--things can always be a lot worse.

Great great post and I agree with all of this guys! You guys are great, I thank God every day I wake up alive! No matter how much crap I have to do at work, how far behind I am on some projects, no matter how my love life is going, try it, it helps!

God Bless! Great Post Hillbilly.
