			yeah, so, i've had a couple of beers.  for the first time in 4 months.  i miss beer.  i miss a lot of things.  like not feeling like my life is ending.  yeah, i kind of miss that.i had the opportunity to do a few things today that i really really enjoy. or at least i used to enjoy.   all i could think is "YOU ARE STEALING EVERY FUCKING DREAM I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY POINTLESS FUCKING  LIFE YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 but then i thought i might be overreacting.
 
 so i threw a dining room chair through a plasma tv.  fortunately i owned it.
 so she comes home and asks "why is the tv in the trash?"  the only rational response i could come up with was, of course, "blow me whore, i'll leave the money on your nightstand."
 
 
 yeah hours later i pretty much feel like shit.  as much as i know she deserves every cruel thing i could think to say... i love her.   i miss her.  the real her.  i hate this person that she is.  i mourn the person she was.    i miss the quiet nights after cam is asleep just watching [i]friends[i]or some other stupid thing.  i miss waking up early to talk about our day's plans.  i miss looking across the table at some restaurant laughing about what it was like when we were shit poor eating peanut butter for dinner.  i miss planning our next vacation.   i miss having my hand slapped away after getting out of the shower.   i miss telling "the guys" that i was the luckiest man on the planet because i had everything i had ever wanted.   i miss standing in a store while a lady flirts with me and my response is to think "oh, she's cute, but nothing compared to Mrs Lookout" instead of "who the fuck cares - she'd only shit on your heart given the chance."   i miss my life.  i miss my wife.  i miss being the confident guy i was just a few short months ago.
 
 i miss being something other than the pathetic lump of co-dependent flesh i somehow became.  how does this happen?
 
 in another thread someone asked "is the cellar real?"  fuck yeah it's real.  it is midnight and i know i have to be to work to put a smile on my face for my clients in a few short hours.   i have tears running down my face.  once upon a time i had friends.   i had friends standing by that would take a bullet for me.  one who did.  now i have a bunch of distant aquaintances that remember the old days.  they have wives who love them.  kids who need them.  and i sit alone.  everything i have thought, planned, and done in the last 7 years is gone.  everything.   everything i did before that has been pushed aside or erased for the priorities of the last 7 years.   the priority.  the woman that i love.  the woman who i thought loved me.  the lie that i lived.  so now i get to sit here and realize i have nothing.  well, that isn't true.  i have a beautiful son that i want to watch grow into a better man than i can ever be.   unfortunately for him, he needs a father who is a better man than i will ever be.
 
 so those are my thoughts for the night.
 
 so if you are ever sitting around and wondering if the cellar is real - read this thread to assure yourself it is.  there is some sorry son of a bitch in phoenix arizona pouring his heart out to you all.  anonymous though we may be, you're all i've got. so yeah, to me - the cellar is as real as it gets.
 
 thanks for reading my bullshit.
