space here - nothing
black

screaming black

head games

final jeopardy

lawyers

what should I choose?

walking out this
afternoon knowing I
will not go back
unless things
change radically

they won't and I
know this

and sitting here in
paralysis for 5
hours already.
cannot draw a breath

in without pain.
constricted insides.
not even tears
emerge any longer.


I have no answers.
I do not want this
way of living.
Alone. without

warmth or comfort or
support. without
someone to love
unconditionally.
I
don't want to meet
new people either.
I've met too many.
It's time
to be
alone forever.

Too
many times my
efforts lead to
creation and then
death. This is what

life does to people,
it jades them. So
muh effort to the
avail of no
gain.
Excuse me. I live
in a nicer apartment.


I let Peter get away
with splitting any
of our assets with
me. I
believed his
claims that the
stuff was shared.
But I don't any
longer.
Not after he
reconsolidated about
a third of
everything without
even
flinching in
sharing with me the
profits or putting
me on title. Old

reason for not
putting me there -
not a known credit
risk. New reason?

The resources and
assets are not being
treated as joint any
longer.
Isn't he
laughing now. We
split up after 13
years and I don't go
for
half. Instead I
believed him.

Now
with FSC Internet, I
will pursue my
shares of both.
Time to call a

lawyer. A cheap
greedy and smart
lawyer, much like
either Richard or

Peter would be. A
lawyer who drools on
pettiness, and can
out petty
iether of
them and their
schemes. It's time
to play this game

seriously.

Over the
years, FSC was built
withthe help of many
of my friends.
These
people never
gained anything from
it, and each was
eventually tossed
out
by me and
Richard. Why? now
we have people who
will not smile at me
in
any way other
than as their boss.
Isolation tank. I
started a business

with friends for a
reason. I have not
enjoyed the pretense
of being
friends
with staff who are
not otherwise of any
interest to me...


And finally I do not
enjoy the pretense
of being anything
but an owner
on
paper at this place.
no room to move


told to be nice all
the time. and yet
being nice means not
being
greedy. It
couldn't be more
obvious.

I'll go be
whatever the hell I
want to be elsewhere.


I'll lay money on
his deleting these
pages. defect on
those who you
expect
nothing good from -
his motto.

I can
only wish and dream
that it were
otherwise. time has
told I am
wrong to
dream any longer.


ambivalence? less
and less.









And it is stil there.
the wish that ...
that Richard would
lighten up,
tell me
I am wonderful,
leave to do great
things, support
those things,
stop
treating me as if I
were some alpha male,
and then just relax
a
little.

repeat.
