    Public Appology to Riffraff and everyone.....

    I just wanted to officially apologize for publicly "going off" on Riff in a past thread, and creating a bad atmosphere here for a few. I was in a very bad mood last week, in fact one of the most stressful worst weeks of my life, and it seems I took it out on Riff for no good reason. Pretty much every post Riff has made has held a lot of facts and good info for most here, and I think we all appreciate his input and I am sorry for speaking ill of the one and only Riff. It is true we are all people and cannot always get along, but I just wanted to apologize to Riff and everybody else for my public criticizing of a fellow VXer's posts.

    I thought about not going into any details as to why I was in one of the worst moods in my life, but you all are almost like family, so I figured some of you might actually care, the others of you don't have to read at all. I don't think any one thing had really upset me it is just a lot of things piling up and it seems that not too many positives are going on right now. So within 2 days of each other all of these things happened last week:

    -Ended a 3-4 month relationship Wed thought it ended ok, then surprise yeah right, terrible hate texts out of no-where, very confusing
    -Ex-girlfriend from last year (March I think) shows up to one of my public speaking engagements and tries to publicly humiliate me in front of group, we mutually ended things back in March and we were very friendly after everything, I have no idea where that came from either
    -Increase of responsibilities at HBU (coaching), and Buffalo Specialties (sales), and having to decide whether to continue competing professionally through 2012 or not being forced upon me by others
    -School starts back up at HBU the athletic director asks me to start teaching a class in addition to teaching the FCA Bible Study in addition to all coaching responsibilities.
    -RX-8 battery died leaving me stranded at HBU, tranny scratching, rough idle, passenger visor fell off, sun roof stopped working
    -VX air intake mount broke loose leaving hole between wheel well and engine bay, front wheel drive starting to grind on high speed right hand turns, A/C lights starting to flicker, windshield cracked
    -Head coach at HBU is no longer encouraging me to continue competing professionally in decathlon, in fact she assumed I was done without asking
    -Also sit down conversation with head track coach told me I was not working enough hours and I needed to do more around HBU

    So needless to say, I just had a bad week and I am sorry for taking it out on Riffraff and the community here at VX.info Sorry guys and gals, won't happen again.

    Sheesh. I don't blame you! I'm surprised you are still sane! Like you say we all have off days and yes, you are amongst friends and family here.

    Understand the crazy ex thing... I check my old Hotmail account like once a month and found an email from my ex-wife last week. Apparently she ran into another one of my ex-es (girlfriend, not wife) and they decided to take a picture together and send it to me under the subject of "Is this yours?".

    No offense to Anita, Crazy, etc. but I think the break-up process must be far more damaging to women. All of mine with the exception of one have gone crazy after things went south.

    Women is crazy yo.

    That's very stand up of you to do an apology like that. Sorry things are not going the best for you right now. The key words are "right now". Things will turn again in your favor.
    Peace.

    However, it takes two...while all things mentioned are contributing factors, hearing the same rant for the umpteenth time, in ever more authoritative tones, is enough to push anyone to the edge...

    Got Heart?

    You're a good man LittleBeast (is it Ryan?)! You show good character making such a gesture. I hear ya regarding the build up of stressors as I have been influenced by quite a few over the last year or so, as well. I think I am getting a better grasp but MAN has it been taking a toll on me! I formed an all-inclusive apology for some of my postings as well... I feel it was warranted, however, everyone is dealing with an abundance of new problems and new stressors the world over. We all simply have different ways of dealing with them. An emotional leak is bound to happen here and there.

    You're a good peepz in my book!

    Hopefully everything will turn upward for you in the future Ryan. When your down there is only one way you can go. Now go out for a nice long trail run...that always seems to clear my head!
    Finally, stick with your dreams and goals. Don't let others influence your decissions. If you do you will always be left thinking "what if".
    Good luck!

    "Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got
    Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot
    Wouldn't you like to get away?

    Sometimes you want to go - where everybody knows your name
    and they're always glad you came
    You wanna be where you can see - our troubles are all the same
    You wanna be where everybody knows your name..."
