Life can suck

I guess we all know life can suck. Sometimes I think things are going too good and I expect something bad to happen. This week it did.

I can't trust the woman I thought I loved. What kind of love is that? She confessed something to me that upset me greatly. She knows she upset me and hurt me and does know how I feel about her. Right now I'm just hurt and depressed. I hope someone takes joy in my misery!

On top of that I found out my ex-girlfriend has a brain tumor. I really shouldn't call her my ex anymore. We were last together as a couple in 2001. Despite that we remain really close friends.

For months she'd been complaining about headaches. She couldn't go to the doctor because there was a 90 day wait on benefits for her new job. June 1 the insurance kicked in and on June 6 she went for a complete physical. A scan revealed a tumor on the right side of her brain. Pending a biopsy, it's unknown if it cancer or not. I pray to God it's not.

This woman has the worst luck of anyone I know. Granted some of it is of her own doing and some of it is just plain shitty luck. When she does stuff like walk off her job abruptly it's hard to muster any sympathy for her. She lost her apartment. She lives with a friend and friend's husband but I get the feeling he's not too thrilled about her and her kid being there. She won't admit it but I think she's fucking around with an old boyfriend of hers from a few years ago. Whatever, she's got issues. All I can do now is play shrink to her. That's okay cause she does the same for me.

Only good news for me this week: My Beloved San Antonio Spurs won a fourth NBA Championship. Now the on going debate is whether or not they are a dynasty. I don't buy it. At least not yet. Yeah, they've won consistently for a decade and won four titles in nine years. But do they rank up there with the runs that the Showtime Lakers, Russell's Celtics or Jordon's Bulls? I don't think so. At least not yet. Repeat or get another title or two in over the next three years. I'll change my thinking then.

That's it for now.
