Right on Ira!

What is it with some people?

Because of some of the things I've done in my past I'd say that I'm a little more aware than most folks about certain things. Perception can be a bitch!

There was once this fella that enjoyed the "high" life. He stopped for a reason or two. He used to enjoy it with some buds. One of the buds that used to hang out with him continues to enjoy the "high" life (just not with the guy that stopped). So, you'd think that because these two guys hung out with each and done other things that they might still continue to be a on a different level than most folks but, that is not the case. I mean I guess it is. I guess its more like a classic case. Anyway, these guys still have a professsional place they both go. The one guy, talks bad about the other guy now, the guy that stopped living the way he was. As if they were never friends and used to hang out and do stuff. I was very disappointed to hear the one guy talking so bad about the other guy. Especially after I knew how much of good buds they were with one another when they both enjoyed the "high" life. But...check this out, of course the one guy NEVER says anything to the other guy to his face, he says crap about him behind his back. Then, knowing the guy that stopped is still a good guy, asks favors from him and, of course, knowing the other guys is a good guy, he knows he'll get the favors he asked for. I seen a perfect example of it the other day. The guys house broke and he knew the other guy was good with repairs on homes and he knew the other guys had all the tools and he asked for help from the other guy. Well, of course the other guy (the one who stopped) obliged him happily and helped him with his home repairs. The very next day the other guy (the one who still enjoys) was bad mouthing the hell out of the good guy about how he doesn't do this or do that...blah blah blah...just steadily disgracing the good guy. I should have said something. but the bad guy is in a position that could screw things up for me so I didn't say anything. In my past I would have said something regardless because that is just the way that I am/was but, now I have to look out for me and my son.
