The death of my father. At the time the company I was working for was going out of business soon. I had a wife and three kids to support. i was going to grad school at night to train for a new career in IT. School was not going very good. I found the course work to be very difficult. Things were really bad. If I could not finish school I would have had to work two jobs to be able to make enough money to pay for everything. I could not imagine things getting any worse. Then my father suddenly died.

Now I always say that you cannot believe how fast things can go from bad to worse.

Being robbed and SAd after being drugged by a gang of women who latched on to our group of guys out celebrating changed my opinion of women to be just as capable of horrific sex based crimimal behaviour.

I dgaf about it happens to women too now because that's just shitty people doing shitty things to others.

Does it make me hate women, this is where I veer away from the norm in that I rationalise it to not being a woman thing but being a criminal thing so I don't see women as a threat or as criminal, unlike how feminism has conditioned people to believe men are such a threat always.

My first year in college a friend got into his car drunk and died that night on the his way home. I was at the party and saw him leaving and didn't take the time to stop him because I was sure someone else would. Nobody did. I've never been too busy again when something urgent needs to be done because if I don't act on it, maybe no one else will either. Sometimes tragedy is just a heartbeat away. I never again want to know that I could have done something and didn't.

All the men who are having too many heavy flow days it seems.

There is seems to be a big cry-baby sooky mentality with males these days.

Well, can you imagine? I was peacefully sleeping in a womb and then something, someone, people, nature, gods, the cosmos and capitalism, they all conspired to expel me.

I didn't even do anything wrong

I was just a baby 🙄

I can't even get back now. Screw these guys, all of them.

My breakup. I didn't live in the moment. I was always looking ahead to the far future.

My brother's death. My dad's. My wife's. Perspective needs to be flexible for some things. If it isn't you die inside.

The exact moment I realized my parents weren't smart and that they were woefully unprepared to be parents.
