As many of the OB's (original uberer's) know, I recently returned from Afghanistan. I've been quite busy catching up with my life and what have you so I haven't had much time to enjoy the comfort of uber's play ground. Anyhow, as some of you may or may not know tiffany( the girl I was engaged to) decided that I wasn't good enough and left me a half hour after I got off the plane from my deployment. I honestly thought my life was over, I mean every night I was in such a state of melancholy that I couldn't function. I stopped sleeping, stopped eating and began to consume copious amounts of alcohol to try and ease my woes!
Since that dreadful day, I've come to find a few facts about the situation. The first one was that she had met her (now) boyfriend a few weeks before I got back. This is when I began realizing that there was something very wrong with the relationship, as she was going out and doing other abnormal things. Anyhow, her new boyfriend is down here temporarily from N.Y, he has no job so she is supporting him basically. While I Was away we got into a discussion which lead into an argument about where we would live. I suggested we get an apartment so that we could save up some money and have less hassles from dealing with a house. Her retort was " I've never lived in an apartment and I never will." I should have known right then and there to just drop her, but I love(d) her. Can anyone take a stab at where she is living right now? I am willing to bet you are thinking that she lives in an apartment! Well, if you thought that you are WRONG! She is living in a double wide trailer with a married couple, their son, and her new boyfriend. Believe me when I tell you that just knowing that makes me feel Soooo much better about the entire situation.
Going back to the life being over thing. I had honestly thought that my life was just fucked from that point on. It was quite traumatic, having post war syndrome then having to deal with the breaking of my heart. The entire time I was over there, that's all I went to bed, and woke up looking forward to... Coming home to her warm open arms. Well, since she has left me my life has made a turn for the better! I've made BTZ (below the zone) which allows me to put on rank 6 months earlier then all others that have the same time in service I do. I've also acquired BAH (basic allowance for quarters) which allows me to live off base in a house/ apartment of my choosing. On top of all that, I've also been put in for Amn of the year. So, my personal/love life went to shit, but my career has just sky rocketed!!
This coming year I am going to drop the woman thing, I am just going to focus primarily on my study's and put women to the side. If one should come along and be interested then so be it, I will get to know her! I think I've given up hope on ever finding my punk rock princess anyway!
in time she might see how foolish she was for leaving me
might take a bruise or two before she longs for my kind of abuse
running away was easy, i guess, but you left my mind a sloppy mess
was it so hard to talk about stuff that i couldn't figure out?
whoa is me, she took her things and she ran away, whoa is me
she says she's feeling so much better
she says the air tastes so much sweeter since she left me
sometimes i might suspect that the cause couldn't be as bad as the effect
crazy girls which i seem to collect and then scribble down notes
like a science project
your argument has no defense, it's a big fat lie built on false pretense
but now i roam from home to work singing songs about you and feeling like
a jerk
running away was easy i guess but you left my chest a hollowed out mess...
- What a crock of shit this was huh?
