    The first one is me.  I could have written it.  :-)
    The third one is one I have always liked.

    Is is me or does everyone seem to be in a funk lately? 
    Btw, thanks for depressing me even more with the goodbye stuff....

    We gotta pull it together man. 
  • botoni said on Aug 11, 2007....
    Your notes and quotes put me in a melancholy state of mind. When goodbyes are said or meant I always have tears. Tears for loss but also tears for having known and having shared the good times. All goodbyes are not sad, all goodbyes are not bad sometimes they re just necessary because of where life takes us.

    Dude, I'm totally lost? why are you leaving? I read you all the time, and suddenly the posts are gone. What happened? I'm so out of touch sometimes. I'm so sorry if someone here drove you away. [Hopes I didn't drive you away. :| ]

    We'll miss you and if there is any way I can talk you into returning, give me that chance...

    [gets on knees, begs with hands clasped and puppydog eyes.]

    Okay, keep reading us if you can and commenting, at least give us that. I had so few people that would comment, I could always count on some reply from you, Ed, Daniel68 and a sporadic few others. I'll miss you if you are REALLY GOING. but you are not RIGHT? Please? STAY STAY STAY.

    [waits for a long pause for ET to make my soul happy and stay. waiting. waiting. waiting. starts to frown. no ET around. :( sad. sadder.]

    Hey, I came back to say I'm ticked now.  I never got to read those last couple of posts about the in-laws and the man purse from you and Nat.  Now they're gone.  That sucks. 

    Don't make me throw a fit.  I'll lay in the floor and kick and scream.  I will.  Do you really want to see that? 

      
  • evil_twin said on Aug 15, 2007....
    You guys are making this hard for me, you know that? I've been gone for a few days, because I needed to be gone. At first, I was still here in spirit. I couldn't stay away entirely. But then I really did go. I needed a break. I needed to figure out some stuff. And I needed to decide if I could really come back here or not.

    Not everyone knows why I left, but that's good. That just means that the negativity and hate didn't reach you, the way it reached me. When something is happening to you personally, it feels like the entire world knows about it. When in fact, that's most likely not the case. You become pretty self absorbed during moments like that.

    But I chose to leave not because I was weak, but because I wanted to be strong. And in order to do that, I had to take a step back and get my thoughts together. I do let negativity bring me down more than most people. That's true. But I'm not going to believe that's a weakness or a fault. It's just who I am. And anyone who would use that against me, is a sad person. It just means that they, themselves, don't know how to feel anymore. They're lacking something in their lives and the only way to feel better about themselves is to try and destroy the spirit of those who still think life is beautiful.

    I can't let that happen to me. That's why I left. And the fact that I'm here typing this now, is the reason why I never came right out and said goodbye. One of the best quotes I left for you guys up there was, "A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again." So I'm saying hello. And that I'm still here. And I'm doing just fine. Great, actually.

    I have the most amazing woman to help me through these little challenges that get thrown my way. And I love her for that. And I'm sorry that her absence has been felt too, because that was my doing. I asked her to stay away too. And despite what some people might have hypothesized about us, we're not the same person. But she is part of me. And when I'm hurting, she's hurting. So out of respect for me, she took down the posts at her own blog that were about us. I wanted to protect what we have together and keep it safe.

    The intent to share it all in the first place was to spread our happiness to other people. True love is real and it can happen to anyone. Dreams can come true. But sadly, some chose not to believe that. And some chose to try and ruin our happiness by attacking my character and my integrity, simply as a way to make my so called 'perfect' existence seem more flawed.

    But it should come as no surprise to anyone who actually read me, and actually cared, that I'm a supremely flawed person. Just because I have something amazing in my life, does not mean I'm perfect. And if someone wants to point out my flaws, I'd prefer they be factual. I'll own up to those.

    Thank you all for posting here. And I'm sorry that I felt like I had to do this. I'm sorry I took the blogs away, but I had to. For my own piece of mind. I had to keep the one good thing in my life safe from those who wanted to destroy it. I will protect that with everything I have. I'm not sorry I shared it, because so many people did enjoy it. I made a lot of people smile. I can never regret that.

    I don't know if I'm ready to be back yet. But I could not look at this post and say nothing. Not when so many of you were sad that I was gone. I guess I'm just nice like that. And that's not going to ever change.

    -Kyle

    E_T!!!!!  Yeah!  I can quit holding my breath and throwing that hissy fit on the floor......momentarily.  I do miss you and Natalie.  You added a good thing to this site and I am incredibly sorry that someone ruined that for you.  I'm not pushing you to come back (though I wish you will) but I hope you see how much you guys are loved here.  I know you internalize that stuff and that's fine.  It doesn't make you weak.  BUT when you are thinking about it all weigh how much you are thought of here against the nuts who said ugly things to you and about you.  Okay?
  • silverwhisper said on Aug 15, 2007....
    i will continue to miss you, kyle, until there is no reason to do so.

  • evil_twin said on Aug 15, 2007....
    PT--I noticed that you were worried that I left because of you. Why, oh, why would you ever think that? I saw that Ed told you that you were wrong, but I certainly hope you never really thought it was you or anything you've said. You've been nothing but nice to me :-) And to be honest, you and fearing guilted me into speaking out here! You both got to me. And that's one of the reasons I broke the self imposed silence.

    fearing--I couldn't have you throwing a tantrum like that, now could I? I'm not saying that I'm fully BACK, but I'm around. And I'm sorry you missed some of the last posts I made. Who knows? I might put them back up at some point. I can't promise that. But everything is still there as it always was. It's just invisible right now. I put up the security glass! But don't worry, I've been doing a lot of thinking about what you and others have said to me. It's sinking in. You'll just have to forgive me if it takes me longer than normal people to get over it. I feel like I've made such a big deal over nothing, really. But I guess sometimes we can't help our reactions to things.

    Silver--I hear ya. But hey, I commented to you twice today! It's almost as if I was never gone, right? :-)
  • silverwhisper said on Aug 15, 2007....
    dude, i think i can speak for everyone when i say that while i dig your comments, it's your blog entries that i particularly love to read. :>

  • fearing said on Aug 15, 2007....
    I love a good guilt trip, don't you?  LOL!  Sorry.  I'm glad you could feel how much we think of you and want you back here in SC Land.  I really didn't mean to guilt you about it.  Everybody needs a fit thrown over them once in a while. 

    On a serious note, don't come back until you are ready.  If you don't get to that place, I respect that.  It will leave a huge void for me and I bet a lot of others here.  You've become like a brother to me......okay.....a first cousin........well, maybe a third cousin I never got to meet until we were grown and found out we were actually double cousins with a family tree that had only 1 branch........  I know I said I was going to be serious but I bet you're laughing aren't you?  It was getting too serious and I needed the comic relief.  Back to serious, you really have become a friend.  Someone there with a kind word, encouragement and somebody to joke with.  You got my stupid sense of humor.  I appreciate it.   All of it.  I can't begin to tell you how happy I am for you that you have Natalie.  Never met you in real life but the friendship is still real.  I love a happy ending and that's what the two of you have. 

    Don't ask my forgiveness or anyone else's in what you have to do for your well being.  Don't second guess how things that were said here impacted you.  All that is still real.  I feel like you are too concerned with the way you do internalize things.  Don't.  Your thoughts make you who you are - not the thoughts of others.  I know a lot of men.  Trust me when I say you are one of the stronger men I have had the privilege of calling a friend.  Emotions don't make a man weak. 
    Kyle and Nat - love you guys!  Hope you come back soon.....

    Evil_twin & nursecutie, I've only just come acroos this post, so behind as usual. I don't know what happened or what was said. Good luck to both of you, and hope you eventually come back, your posts will be missed. I don't blame you for wanting to keep your relationship personal now, it's more important than Soulcast {hug} to both of you.

    Silver--I know what you mean and thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed my posts so much :-) You never know, you might just get to read me again someday...

    fearing--We've already talked, but I'll just say hi again! And I must ask you, who's your favorite superhero? :-P I hear there's a new one in town...

    Imladris--Thanks for commenting :-) I really appreciate it! You're right that our relationship is more important and we will keep it private from now on. Some things just have to stay sacred, right? But we're both still around. And who knows? I might post something again too. Never say never!
  • fearing said on Aug 17, 2007....
    E_T, Wow!  What a deep question.  My favorite superhero?  hmmmm.  I don't know that many except the major ones - Superman, Spidey, Incredible Hulk etc.  Are we counting the newer ones like Mr. Incredible (even though you've lost a notch on the totem pole for not having watched it)?  Or can I decide based on the Hollywood actor versions like Michael Keaton as Batman?  Val Kilmer as Batman?  lol!  If I had to be pinned down right this second to one in particular, it would have to be a superhero I bet only a couple here would have heard of.  I'd have to do a bunch of  serious digging to come up with something he's starred in.  I don't know the names of any movies he has been in either.  He's kinda new to the scene of superhero I guess.  The last time I saw him, he had some really cool powers.  Can't think of his name.  I just remember where he's from...the Land of Tur.  You're big into that stuff - ever heard of him? 
  • evil_twin said on Aug 17, 2007....
    fearing--You never fail to make me laugh! Yes, the Land of Tur....I've heard of it. It's a very new place. I believe I know his name, but if you speak it out loud (or type it) he loses some of his powers. But I think his coolest power is invisibility...don't you think?
  • fearing said on Aug 17, 2007....
    Really?  You've seriously heard of my favorite superhero and the Land of Tur?  I can't believe it.  And I thought I had inside information too!  You know, now that you mention it, his coolest power is invisibility. 
    I won't speak it out loud - I promise!  It makes me want to start screaming "I do believe in fairies! I do! I do!" 
  • evil_twin said on Aug 17, 2007....
    Ooh, I don't know if he wants to be compared with a fairy. Unless you're talking about a really strong, masculine one. After all, he doesn't have a cape or anything...
  • fearing said on Aug 17, 2007....
    No capes!!!!
    I'm telling you - when you see the movie you will think that no capes thing is hilarious. 
    The fairy thing was from the latest Peter Pan movie.  When someone says they don't believe in fairies, a fairy dies.  The only way to bring them back is to chant loudly (over and over again) "I do believe in fairies!  I do! I do!".
    The Land of Tur is definitely a good city with good, strong, masculine heroes!  Got some really cool damsels too.
  • evil_twin said on Aug 17, 2007....
    Okay, okay, I'll watch the movie! I'll have to invite my niece over so I don't feel dumb renting a cartoon from Blockbuster! :-P And I do believe that the Land of Tur is populated with quite a few amazing people. The best people around! Some might say it's a magical city...
