As you may have read in the last post, I've begun to see a therapist about my anger management issues, which is a side of me I rarely show, but someone really made me mad enough to cause me to backtrack on my progress. It's my friend Teddy from Charlotte, and he's become such an idiot that I cannot help but lose my temper over him. I've tried to handle his many screwups as calmly as I can, but the more I think about it, the angrier I get, and I'm being pushed to the edge. For the most part, we've been very good friends, sharing bulletin posts on MySpace, sending each other emails, and just having a good time being buddies. But lately, he's become more and more annoying to me, and he's doing things to upset me. For example, when I last came to Charlotte in August, he never showed up, and that led me to call him an idiot. This time, he's gotten into a terrible argument with his friends, and he's led me to believe that everyone hates him. For one thing, he deserves to be hated, and for another, he's no longer worthy of the coveted No.1 spot on my Top Friends List on MySpace. He's already lost two chances to do something with me: When he abandoned me in Charlotte, I took away his piano lessons, and I think he's moved on to guitar ever since. I was planning to invite him to Chicago for Christmas, but since he messed up again, I'm rescinding that invitation. And the next time he messes up, I will delete him permanently from MySpace, no ifs, ands or buts about it. I already know who would make a good candidate for the top spot: Rhanda, my MySpace wife (LOL)! Teddy may still be No. 1 on Top Friends, but if he is to stay there, he must take back the things he did and said that turned his friends against him. I still want my friendship with Teddy to continue, but now it's lurking in the danger zone. Just for the record, life was good for the first six years, but it has all gone downhill in the seventh. If the end of our friendship is near, then so be it, because I have lots of other friends who could be an able replacement. I should make another appointment with my therapist right away, because I'm very pissed off at him! Although I do wish very much that my friendship weren't on the line, I would end it at any time now. Just look back at the last couple of months, when he made the first mistake to ever make me mad. I hope this serves as a wakeup call to him, and if he agrees to change his idiotic ways, maybe we can salvage our friendship. But remember, ours is still in the danger zone, so he better be careful!
