"Part of my bent towards..." (Is this right)
I so truly love your rants. They are so brutally and hilariously the best to read.
Hey, bring the candels and the deep voice, I have the wine and the hot bath...lets be faithful together.lol

Yeah. A "bent" means a leaning. I'm leaning in that direction, I'm drawn towards it.
HAAAAAAHAHAHA! That's the line of the year. "Let's be faithful together". LOL mikey

Comment from Ric Myworld
What? What do you mean I'm not perfect, that no body is? I'll have you know, and you had better sit up straight and listen to me, you hear! Me not perfect. I'll have you know that HELL NO! I'm not perfect. I'm not even good. At least most of the time, come to think of it . . . most the time I'm bad, and sometimes really bad. But when I'm at my worst, you can bet your . . . whatever you want to bet, that's when I'm at my best. Thanks for another fine story. And yes, we are all just people, most of not knowing what we might do in any situation by tomorrow. Great job. :-)

I didn't mean you. Those other folks, the imperfect ones. I have to pretend we're not perfect or they get all hurt. LOL
Glad you enjoyed. This stuff is kind of fun to write. You'd do killer with stuff like this. mikey

"You'd do killer with stuff like this?" So what are you telling me, that I'm full of kashit too? I appreciate you! :-)

Comment from Gloria ....
I think it most interesting you have selected the Myth of Sisyphus as your artwork choice, Mav. You have grasped that he is the unusual hero doomed to repeat a series of actions. He exists as much through his passions as through his torture. His scorn of the gods, his hatred of death, and his zest for life and achieving the impossible have won him that description. Your personal essay could very well fit side-by-side with the myth.
Couple of points:
Lacking patience doesn't seem all too damming (damning) a trait.
I've found writing about it is often a surprisingly revelatory way. I've found writing about it is revealing in often a surprising way.
Honestly, it devastated me for a while, also another story for anther (another) time.
Her sister married an overbearing unpleasant gentlemen (gentleman) herself.

Anyway an interesting and entertaining personal essay, Mav. So good job! I think it's a fine entry and I wish you all the best in the contest.

Good call on the artwork, Ange. Christ, woman. That's a rather chilling synopsis now that I think about it. It's pretty damn accurate to be honest and that doesn't bode well for me. It seems like I'm doomed. HAHAHA! What I'm laughing at I don't know. I suppose being doomed to repeat the same actions might work out well if I could chose the actions to repeat, but I have the funny feeling it doesn't work that way. Well, I have that zest though, there's always the zest.
Thanks for the thorough edits. Most appreciated.
I won't hold my breath for the contest. But, thanks for the good wishes.

Comment from robyn corum
Sooooo.....This tends to make me think we may have been twins separated at birth, Mikey. Sorry to break it to ya. Far too many similarities here to even begin trying to understand it any other way. *smile* Surprise, brother!
One tiny note, if I may?
1.) Honestly, it devastated me for a while, also another story for (another) time.
Thanks, bro. See you at the fam reunion!

Did you happen to get the inheritance? I didn't. Just curious, sis.
You'll love Mom, she's nutty as a loon, but she's lost all her feathers. I think she plucked them all out with her teeth. LOL mikey

This is making sooo much sense!

You just soar in this style. I know it is not your favorite, but you could write this stuff for days without boring. I see myself all over this and you too. A wonderful piece, Michael. You turned out pretty damn good. NG

Really? This is the easiest stuff to write for me and it seems the best received. How ironic. I bust my ass trying to write a story and everyone could care less. This, eh? I could write this stuff in my sleep. Go figure. You are a sweetheart. michael
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written story. It seems you are the good guy and always misunderstood. Everyone expects the worst behaviour from you. You are attractive, so you will charm the ladies wherever you go, so you must be a player and unfaithful to your commitments. Lol.

People think I'm a player, but I'm not. LOL
I'm totally loyal to a fault. I guess I'm flirty.
Love your analysis. Always the best fun. mikey
Comment from Taffspride
Mikey to say that I found your story interesting would be an understatement.
It is good to find out a little about our fellow writers. I already had you down as a very loyal person, one who would go the extra mile for a friend.
I think perhaps we might have been twins separated at birth, because like you, don't ever tell me that I'll never be able to do something. I will go out of my way to prove you wrong.
This is well written, and very much Mikey. Great job.
Thanks for sharing

The impossible is a great motivator for me. If it's easy, I'm not too interested. We could be twins, I'm a little crazy in that regard. LOL
Glad you enjoyed. This is fun to write for me. I'd never speak a word of it in the real world though. HAHAHA! mikey

Comment from Susanne M. Psyris
If I were a man, I would have already laughed my friggin' balls off! This is so endearing, but so damn funny, I can't stand it!!! Correction, so minute I hate to mention it, but: damming (think you meant "damning", I'm gonna teach to swear like a sailor and do it with dignity!!!).
I see you wrote this as non-fiction! Really? You let assholes control the way you run your life and, tell me, do they suffer the consequences of your actions? Doubt it very much.
At sixty years old, I have learned one incredibly important thing in my life: I have lived my life, with all my mistakes and problems, the way that I wanted to live my life!!! I can never go back to change what I have done, and, I don't want to. It brought me to the "ME" I am today...and, I like me very much. I have learned well from all my mistakes along the way and now live a great life with such experiences behind me. Let go, let God! It is so liberating and makes you understand how worthwhile you past years actually have been. This was a fabulous writing, mikey! I loved it. Gave me time to step back and reflect on my own life. lol Great job on this writing. I love it! God bless and hugs, Susanne

Welllll, I'm pleased you found this fun and amusing. It was the best fun to write and I'm glad you don't have balls and you're not missing any parts. I do let people control my life to a point I suppose. But at some point I kill them. LOL
Thanks so much. I guess I'll write more of this stuff. mikey
