Being left behind.......

I saw my ex girlfriend at tesco (supermarket where i work) today. Man, it was tough. I guess i still feel for her u know (we broke up last september).

She's at uni doing drama and has already been extra's in films, and what am i doing? Stacking shelves at tesco. Even though my job is kinda amusing, seeing my ex doing so well for herself makes me feel kinda small.


How is it like if u bump into an ex? Are they onto better things now?

no no no! Why should you feel small because of your job , you are working , it doesnt matter what you do , be proud of yourself biggrin

Of course it gonna hurt when you bump into your ex , these things take time , you cant turn your feeling off and on like a switch

it shouldnt matter where they are in relation to you and your life because whats happening in your life is uniquely yours... it has nothing to do with where they are unless youve taken on the responsibility to be responsible for the stranger who is not your life

it has been my experience that each individual's life is uniquely intertwined within the context of others lives however each path is also personal... example... lets say that i have an average of ten interactions with other human beings per day... thats over seventy per week... if i say something like... prince's music is interesting on this album, given a demonstrated dynamic relationship with other's paths added to a given respect they may have for my opinion on topics musical multiplied by geographic interactive connectivity, i may cause a ripple effect that affects all those connected to me

perhaps youd like to piss me off by subliminally suggesting a path not interesting to me... this path is uniquely mine and has nothing to do with your path... as to explain in any way what the true nature of the path is will ultimately not only destroy other paths not understood by those less cogniscent

understanding ultimately the true path and nature of dynamic creative interaction leads to a more personal understanding of what this will all become... ergo, if you fucking piss me off with another subliminal path lass than my own accomplishment level, i will ultimately demonstrate subliminality not understood by a clever copycat who will learn the up last

Are you Dan Fogelberg?

confused

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling christmas eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

She didn’t recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried.

We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totalled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged.

We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn’t find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car.

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.

She said she’d married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn’t like to lie.

I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn’t sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude.

She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell.

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another ’auld lang syne’...

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away.

Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain --

bad blood huh? U know, she saw me and i really did not want to talk to her. My ex is sweet, but so naive. She is condesending, but she does not mean to be.. "oh, as long as ur making money". Still, she was great, and uni got in our way. Long distance would not have worked.

She would tell me "u can do anything if u put ur mind to it" etc..... well thats easy for her to say, she is gorgeous. I guess society has taught her dreams are possible, whilst my upbringing has done anything but.

We would argue. "this is the real world" i would say. "what chance have i got of becoming an actor or a musician?"

I could try my hardest, waste all my money, and be trapped by a belief that i matter, but i'll just get bitter wondering why not me for the rest of my life, searching for excuses or reasons as to "why arn't i a pop star, a tv actor, a film star". We were so different really

Who cares if she's been an xtra in films? Just means you're getting paid for doing a job. Don't worry about it.

she could wear anything. As mico weaver said "she could turn butter into cream". I was surprised too. Tempted to sing "fishnet black pantihose" by morris day to her. But, she never did get my bizarre taste in music.

Who cares what your ex is doing? Screw them. I could care less what my ex girlfriends are doing. And the odds that she wll become a successful actress are slim to none.
