A long strange trip it's been

[randude101]

Sharon some how found my new phone numbers. It is like she has a key logger on my laptop. She called my first wife and told her my new numbers hours after I changed it. I am an electrical engineer with almost 30 years experience any I cannot for the life of me figure out how she is doing it. My first wife is one of the three people I gave my cell phone number to after changing it anyway, but who else has she given it to?

I actually had a pretty good day. I went to work and come clean with my boss on the DUI in Virginia. I didn't tell him about all the other shit on the West Coast though. I had porn in my work email and went right to management and showed them what she did. It is funny that I mentioned that I was thinking about it here, so she must be reading what I write here. Everyone is being really cool with me and complimenting me on how cool I have been about this whole thing. I apologized to my management for Sharon's actions and they responded very positive and told me not to worry or be sorry. I really think everyone sees what is really happening to me. I went to my house. I have some little boobie traps layed out. Nothing dangerous, just some thing I have layed here and there so that I can see if I have had visitors. Nobody has visited my house. I can tell, the cops have not been there. I am crashing at my new girl friends house still, and well until my business in Virginia is complete. I went inside, turned on my big screen tv to watch the news and I had a beer. It was nice to be home and nobody was bothering me there to see if I had something illegal inside. But like I said, I am going to stay at my new girl friends house until I am done in Virginia. I talked to a lawyer today, Just over the phone. He could not guarentee that he could keep Sharon from harassing me. I am supposed to go see him tomorrow about 3:00. I think I will just cancel. I spent about $20k on attorneys in 2007 and do not have a lot of faith in those guys. I almost feel like you are better off without them. If he cannot guarentee that Sharon will not bother me why should I give him several thousand dollars? I still haven't gotten my thousand dollars back that Sharon tried to steal last week, but I got mail today that said that I got my over draft fees back because of theft. I will probably have that back tomorrow. I hope. I just bought plane tickets for Virginia and running my account kind of low. This was a bad time for Sharon to take that money and she knew it. Anyway, I bought plane tickets. My new girl friend cannot go to Virginia, and I really wanted her to drive thru Virginia because of my license and I do not need any more trouble there. I will fly to Virginia and use Taxis to get around, and if I get more than time served I will not have to worry about my truck getting towed.

If I disappear on the 9th I will be in trouble and doing some time in Virginia Beach jail. If you notice please pray for me or get high for me. I will survive. My new friend will have my dog and my rent is paid for the month. I will be hurting for money when I get out but somehow I think I will be okay. I have good people helping me and they will make sure I get out if I can get out. If they can't do that I am sure they will make sure I have everything I need.

I was worried that the judge may give me a urine test. They did it to Michael Vick. I do not like what Michael Vick did with those dogs, but do not see why the Judge felt he had to lock him up because he got high while on bail. This is one reason I hate the government. I know they are right hitting me hard for drinking and driving, but for a man to be punished for getting high at home is another story. Just like what Sharon is trying to do to me now, it is just a matter of control.

First of all, not preaching to the converted, but to the peeps that don't know, LOVE and HATE....two sides of the same coin. Ever wonder why a woman can hate you so much..? The answer is probably because, at one time, she "loved" you so much.

Ran - I've been there too man - to hell and back with the ex. Got a child with her - my son - who she has used at every opportunity to get to me. Hate campaigns, smear campaigns, you name it. I'm only glad she doesn't know how to hack into computers..! She pressed every button she could and I went into self destruct mode without really worrying about the level of destruction. My whole world was upside down to be fair...not dissimilar to yours. Outwardly I was coping; kept up my payments, bills - my duties towards my son etc. But inwardly, I was beginning to fall apart - drinking, getting high - not giving a fuck etc!

I feel you when you say; you would rather she died. I went through the same thing...wondering how someone could be that fucked up and just get away with it? I guess, the woman, being made of sugar and spice and all things nice remember, really can get away with a whole load of fabricated crap and people will just believe her over you and boy does that hurt.

Sadly, the only real answer is this...TIME. Time is a great healer - that much is true. It's been 8 months now and I'm over the self destruct. My job is back on track...in fact this time I'm really getting somewhere and I've met a new girl... a really sweet girl that makes my ex look like Satan's whore! But, like Chaman, I'm not a big fan of "love" now either. I really don't want to hear those love words for a while. I've got a feeling I'm about to soon though - and who knows what that'll mean? Maybe another bout of self-destruct as I question why I can't be happy with this sweet woman? But I know the self-destruct missions are slowing and decreasing in magnitude....until one day soon..the old me will be back....and perhaps soon some of my friends won't have to hear me drunk and ranting about the "fucking stupid bitch...!!" I'm beginning to get more and more glimpses...

I know that these thoughts helped me - as cheesy as they might sound now;

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going." If you're tough, you get going..
"You can't keep a good man down." Stands to reason.

My ex's family are beginning to see the light - coz recently I've landed a nice role - one they could have never imagined me getting. And soon they'll have no choice but to recognise just who the fuck I am and always was. And I reckon, the ex will just go on proving that she was the one with the deep seated emotional issues, as she goes from one fucked up relationship to another. But I can't say I really wish her that anymore. Whatever, you have to let it go, life goes on. As long as your life is good - who cares what anyone else does?

Try and stay positive.

PEACE.

My lawyer had always told me that my case depended on the right judge. When I seen him tuesday morning before court he told me we had the worst judge possible. I sat in court for 4 hours and watched him send so many people to jail. My lawyer was doing other stuff and would just poke his head in the court room and then leave. The judge took a lunch break. My lawyer walked in during the the break and went right to the clerk and got me up while the decent judge was there. I got a $766 fine, some driving restrictions and some classes I have to take. The MJ will be dismissed after a year of compliance, and so it is currently not on my record. No jail time (outside of the week I spent when I was arrested). I have to come back to court a year from today and prove that I am in compliance with the conditions (not getting into any trouble...which would be impossible if Sharon were still here). I was so lucky it went down the way it did. My lawyer said that the original judge would have given me two years in jail. I was about to puke the entire four hours. I was loaded up on Xanax the whole time or I would have.

Thanks Brother. She has been on a reign of terror for 2 months trying to destroy me, because I would not take her back. It has been quiet with her for about two weeks now and I am thankful. It was hard fighting her daily attacks. It really wore me down. I am sure she is stll trying to do something to me. I still have to worry and be very careful

 

[happyherb]

read all this before and just caught up again....duno if i thought this the 1st time i read this but reading this page if you replace you ex's name with my ex's name sounds like the same story even some of the same things done to me....i was looking at up to 10 years jail a few months back but still here....
pretty bad when kids are involved like in my case...ive got a family court trial comming up now next year.....good to know the judge is seeing that my ex is full of lies.....cause of my ex i lost my lawyer and in no position to pay for one...so im having fun doing it myself....yes im sarcastic lol....atleasted reading stuff like this reminds me im not the only one its happening too.

im still in the middle of it all and doubt i'll ever get rid of her.....just waiting till my kids 18 th and then there 21 st and then the birth of there kids and maybe there kids wedding and i recon i'll be out of her life....pitty my kids are under 10 right now lol.

we'll keep our heads above water and we wont drown...sounds like a plan..good luck with it all.HH. =]-~

 

[randude101]

Thanks everyone. It looks like the dude dodged another big bullet. The word for me now is caution. I have to be careful for at least a year now. I have to get one of those wizinators or whatever they are called so that I can pass a piss test. At least I am not in jail. For that I am very thankful. And, I have not heard from or had any more money stolen by Sharon. I think she may be in trouble or at least been in contact with investigators over the money she stole. I got the $1000 she took about three weeks ago, but not the $400 she stole on my birthday. I should have that back very soon. I do not think she still has the nerve or the tools to do any more internet and banking fraud on me. I feel sorry for her, but I cannot help her. She is so stubborn that she hurts herself. That is why she is not with me anymore.

So for the long strange trip.. I am still on the road, but this is the closing of a major chapter. Now I can consider taking an assignment someplace else and also starting to get my affairs in order in California. I would love to live there, but I have legal problems there that I have to settle.

No more Law!

[randude101]

Happy new year brothers, and be glad to be smelling the free air

Road Trip!

Hey All. I am heading for Virginia in about an hour or so to get all of my property that is in storage. I am bringing three country girls that I met out here with me too. They have not travelled that much and are in for the road trip. It is 1200 miles each way. I pass Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Both Carolinas and then Virginia. This is going to be fun. I will stay in some nice hotels and I will be logging on too.

 

[Highlighter]

Happy New Year, randude!

I travelled with three crazy women. Crazy in a good way, but they smoke like mad. I am out of shit now as a result.

LOL, traded in the one crazy for 3! Least it's the "good" kind! Smoked you out of herb, huh? Good luck w/ THAT! Watch the drinking! :wink:

 

[i.love.scotch]

Killer adventure man, glad to hear its all starting to turn around now. Kinda unrelated but isn't 400 bucks for 2oz's insanely cheap for Cali prices?

 

[SrPlantManager]

Wow, ran... my eyes are sore from the great read. Please keep it up! In some ways, at least where the alcohol is concerned, it sounds alot like my life. It wasn't until after the damage was done, but I let the booze go too, and I can tell...you're a better man for it. It's really great to see you bouncing back.

In all reality, you're living a charmed life, but I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. You've made it through so much that has taken so many good people down. You've seen the err of your ways and I have much respect for your tenacity. You're not a quitter. Weebles wobble but the don't fall down

To be quite honest, I envy you. Even coming from a broken home you've worked hard to make a great life and career for yourself. I wish I could say the same. I'm no engineer, but I AM an accomplished welder, and know very well what a good engineer is worth.

"Sometimes, we have to get lost to find ourselves"

If ever the mood strikes to bs, don't hesitate to pm me. I'd love to chat sometime if you ever feel like it.

Keep us posted on the legal issues, bro.

All the best,

SPM

 

[Polsevogn]

I just read it all and really enjoyed your story. I'm glad you're facing up to the legal issues and one-by-one putting mistakes behind you.

Wish you the best, and definitely want an update,
Pols

PS- Gotta spread the K around, but definitely owe you some for this.

 

[Chillyhead]

randude, loved reading about your adventures. Can you share your blog address with me?

 

[h^2 O]

oh my god randude...that's some seriously enveloping reading. I'll have to read more when I get time. Keep smokin

 

[Yes4Prop215]

wow crazy story, i was gonna get on here and lecture you about the drunk driving and alcohol use before i realized that we have certain parallels even though you are probably two decades older than me.


alcohol is just all bad, it makes your brain make decisions that are just totally random and insane. like you phoning your wife and cruising off to costa rica, then waking up in jail.

i got a DUI a few years back and it really woke me up sitting in jail, i still drink but i have been really good about not drunk driving until recently. In the past two months i have probably drunk drove three times. Everytime i am in amazement i did not wake up in jail.

You have a pretty uncautious carefree about life and the law though. Driving cross country with plants? Driving around with ounces drinking and smoking? A little common sense would have kept you out of jail and with thousands more dollars in your pockets. Whenever i decide to break the law i try and do it cautiously and carefully. But i guess your careless attitude is why you are the one writing the crazy cross country jail story and why i dont have a story like that...yet.

GLad to hear you dumped that crazy bitch Sharon too, what a bad influence.

Not really, trainwreck yeilds a lot, we got a few batches for as low as 2400-2600 a pound last year during the flood season, which means i could sell them "2 for 400" all day and still made over 500 on each pound. Shit is good too, super stinky, very frosty, just kinda leafy, i was selling them for $180 to my friends, they were breaking them down and making money. every one making money = everyone happy!
