There has been way too much that has happened over the last month for me to stay away for any longer than I already have. I basically caved in last night when certain events happened on Facebook by me stating my opinion that I knew it would only be a matter of time before I came back to get all this shit out of my head because we all know what will happen if I don't. I become one really pissed off, cranky person. Thank the lord none of you really have to see this first hand, but for poor Christopher, he isn't so lucky.
So where to begin...
Well I know I posted about being back in school. 1 class this semester. But let me tell you this is by far one of the funnest classes I have ever taken in my life. She makes it fun and very interactive. I have met some really awesome people in this class. We seem to stick together for everything. When we have to partner up, we don't even have to move or worry about anything because we all know who we are going to be partnered with. I say everyone should take Human Sexualities. If you can, come take it down here at Modesto Junior College(MJC) with Suzie Corman. Bitch is hilarious. I did find out that I have my final day of completion at MJC. 795 days away. December 20th 2014. I know it seems like a hell of a long time but it's because I procrastinated when I first started college that now it's kicking me in the ass. On top of that I have 2 years at a University and then another year for my credentials. I swear I am never going to finish school. Someone want to just do all the work for me? That would be nice.
Oh yeah... I moved back in with Christopher. It was just easier because I watch the baby. I don't watch him as much anymore with John Paul home with back issues but still I am here when I am needed. Plus I think it was better for me because I just didn't fit in with everything going on over at Big Mommas. I was not comfortable with people coming and going at all hours. There was a lot of stuff going on over there that I thought I would be ok with but it ended up just getting under my skin. Oh well. Live and learn right. I had even thought about moving back home but that was not what I wanted to do and plus my life is down here now, not there.
I have still been looking for a job. I have a lead for next week. An interview with Macy's. It's only for seasonal help. It's better than nothing right? A lot of people I know that were hired on as seasonal help ended up being brought on after the holidays to become full-time help. That would be even better, but I am not going to think that far ahead. One day at a time. Still looking for something more permanent. Going on 15 months of not having a job. I am going crazy doing nothing. Most of you know that I can only do nothing for so long.
Ok so on to the events of last night....
Baseball season is starting to close. We are currently viewing the NLCS and the ALCS. The NLCS is the San Francisco Giants vs. St. Louis Cardinals. There was a play last night when Matt Holliday(STL) was sliding into second base and tried to break up the double play. He was going into for the slide. To me, and to a bunch of people I have talked to about this, saw that Holliday's toe of his shoe got stuck in the dirt which prevented him from entering a full slide. He ended up, unintentionally, taking out Marco Scutaro(SF). He ended up hurting his hip. All the Giants fans on my page began to talk mad shit saying that Holliday was a dirty player, that he intentionally hurt Scutaro, blah blah blah. I made a post last night, as follows:
So I got to see the slide to second that Matt
Holliday had and NO GIANTS FANS, it does not look like he intentionally
did it. If you look closely his foot got caught on the dirt which
prevented him from entering a full slide. Go ahead jump all on my ass,
you all are going to do it. But I don't give a fuck. Take someone else's
opinion into account for once.
I knew that people would jump my ass, hints the reason why I said what I said. A debate went back and forth and ended with some of us agreed to disagree. Until an ex of mine, who is still a friend decided to have this conversation with me, as follows:
Jessica,
you may not want to hear this, but dirty play or not you invited
aggression with the way you phrased your original post. As has already
been said, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but unless I missed
something you basically started out by picking a fight. You can't get
mad when people accept the challenge. It's just a game everyone and
Scutaro is fine so people need to quit acting like babies and chill out.
Both sides.
My response was as follows:
There
was no picking a fight. I'm sorry you took it like that. I didn't know
that stating my opinion was picking a fight. But I understand your side,
but I still don't see me picking a fight.
His response:
"Go ahead jump all on my ass, you all are going to do it. But I don't give a fuck." is mainly what I'm talking about.
I came back with:
I
know how people respond to posting opinions on Facebook. That's why I
posted what I posted and how I worded it. Was no way shape or form
trying to pick a fight. If I was picking a fight, I'm sure I would of
had more people on there chiming in.
Then things began to get one sided:
Well
like I said, people on both sides should take it down a notch. It's
over and done with. Expressing an opinion is one thing, but this thread
goes way beyond that. I'm sorry you got the messages you got, but in my
opinion you could have handled it better as well. Be the bigger person.
Just my two cents. I hope you have a better night.
I chose not to respond to that comment. I want to know how me stating my opinion was trying to pick a fight. Shit is ridiculous. I have had a night to sit and ponder on this, so I am not as pissed off as I was last night, which is probably a good things. I would of said things that probably would of made me sound down right stupid. I was expecting people to post their opinions, which is fine, but when you go past that and start putting me down and putting things in my mouth, like I was out of line with my responses and that I was 'trying to pick a fight', you went a little too far. If you didn't like what I posted you had 3 options. You could of posted that you do not agree, ignored my post all together, or delete me. I have known this person for well over 10 years and he knows that when something bugs me I will post about it. Ugh. And on top of it all, people were sending me messages because of this post. I think I got 15 in total, 4 people ended up deleting me because of it, but I thought I would share the best of one them all:
"You
are a ghetto ass bitch of an A's fan. You wouldn't know a dirty player
if you saw one because your teams is full of them. So shut your damn
fucking mouth when you don't know what the fuck you are talking about."
Obviously this person does not know me for me. They are a friend of a friend. I met them a few times through a friends, and they added me just because. It didn't bother me. But if they ever paid any attention to anything I have said over the few years I have known them, is I cheer for the A's because they are my home team, but I am a die hard Red Sox fan. Born a Sox fan and I will die a Sox fan. I sure the fuck am not ghetto. I may have grown up in Pittsburg, but I am not where near stupid, ignorant ghetto that this person thinks I am. And as for the A's being such dirty players, let me just remind this person, that you have a few old A's players on your team that at the time of playing with the A's have had a few 'dirty' plays. Everyone has one eventually, but not intentionally. Oh and yes I am a bitch, but I was never one to you. But as of right now, I am going to be the biggest bitch whenever I see you. I do not hate the Giants, but I am beginning to hate some of the Giants fans that cannot take the opinion of someone other that a fellow Giants fan. Stupid pathetic people always seem to make me laugh.
