Well, I can't possibly fill you in on everything that has gone on, so I'll just begin with Where I am Now.
I have tickets to Hard Rock Calling this weekend (being a lifelong Paul Simon fan - my first record was Bridge Over Troubled Water) but I won't be going. I am very upset about it. Suffice to say I needed some help with the planning etc, and it was not forthcoming.
What do I learn from this?
You can't trust anyone accept yourself.
So when I saw the psychologist yesterday and he said to me "It may be that you have trouble trusting people..." I didn't argue with him.
My experience is that you can't trust people - people are only out to help themselves.
I think it sucks.
I think if people gave just a little thought to others then the world would be a much nicer place.
Recently I bought two (separate) items from eBay, both of which were sold as genuine, and both of which turned out to be fakes. Yet when I try to list a perfectly legal unopened DVD, I get a huge warning about selling copies. Do other people not see it? Or do they just not care?
The psychologist says I need to toughen up, and be like everyone else. But I'm not sure I want that. Why would I want to be cynical and heartless?
I think I will stay as I am thanks.
And just move to a remote log cabin in Canada.
