The Book of Joshua P!!

You know, I can accept a lot of things. I’m trying my hardest to live a peaceful life, and that includes my emotions, and recent events have challenged me to work even harder to be as close to buddha-like as possible, and I don’t know how I restrain from losing my cool over things like some guy who calls himself Transitnerd and what he’s posted HERE on a major Los Angeles blog, Blogging.LA.

The genius goes so far as to try to make me feel guilt over my situation. Sorry, but I am a “recovering Catholic” as I like to say, and the first steps to me liking my life honestly were to let go of all feelings of guilt, shame, resentment, anger, etc… no one needs those.

I let a bit of the old me out, and I got angry, and replied as follows… somehow, I know I should feel bad for being so hard on TN, but, well… I can accept the karmic payback for verbally handing him his ass.

Transitnerd, this is NOT even funny. I encourage anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex to check out what groups YOU are a part of, and it’s fairly transparent where the fillings of your pockets and your accolades are from.

Unfortunately, in a public forum, everyone is allowed to speak, regardless of how self serving their agenda. If MTA loses money, status, or power, your lifestyle will be impeded. I’m sorry, but having broken few teeth, the ability to eat anything that won’t flow through a straw, and my feeling of safety as a citizen, I have a hard time finding empathy for you.

An “eternity in Metro time”?! Well, oddly enough, the first call was when my GF called them FROM THE HOSPITAL, while I was still checked in, before my jaw was wired up and was hanging loose! The FACT is that they never showed up; they didn’t even bother to call back. It’s not because we didn’t call for three days…. it’s that we couldn’t get them to call us back, never mind show up to take a statement. Again, just because it took that long to get a result does NOT imply lack of effort on our part.

Ironically, it was your willingness to blame the victim that made me have to figure out the “why” of your need to publicly tell me I was all wrong… I wonder how you speak to other victims of assault? What’s your personal statute of limitations on how soon one must call in a rape, homicide, or child abuse? Did you even consider that I COULDN’T physically speak and I STILL can’t? I have to have my GF drive me everywhere and “translate” for me because no one can understand me. I can’t even speak to my own mother on the phone without help.

You heartless, soulless, self righteous sack. At some point in time, I hope you learn to care for something bigger than your own agenda. There are other people on this planet.

…and to think the other night I was making allegorical comparisons of the various prophets in recorded history and Tony Robbins.

It would be nice if jerks like this guy would just leave me alone to have my mental breakdowns on the couch without reproach… I’m not even trying to be a drain on the system, I just want to do what I can to make sure this doesn’t happen to someone else, and Humpty Dumpty is gonna need some help to get put back together again.
