All,

What can I say that you all don't know? I admit that I am a complete moron/ass/self-righteous/retard/fat/stupid/lazy-ass/ad-nauseum/add your own description here

I have been trying to find some real meaning in my life since my divorce.

Things have been incredibly painful for so long now. I am trying to get to the core of my problems.

So many things I have discovered about myself along the way. I wouldn't want to bother anyone here about it. Nobody would want to suffer reading all that stuff anyway.

I have been a complete hypocrite to myself and most everyone else for my whole life and now face complete ostracism if I continue on my own path. I don't know what is right or wrong anymore. I just know I have to find my own path and stick to it.

I just want you all to know that all those days I posted with such angst, vigor and irresponsibility were still some of the best days of my life (even though I was a pompous ass more often than not). This is a really great community of people here. A friend of mine told me what his father taught him many years ago. He said: "It is better to be polite than right", and I totally agree.

Pappy, I have probably offended you more than anyone here and for that, I am truly sorry. I do miss those frivolous arguments we used to have and the way you always goaded me.

Ace, sorry for dropping out for a long time and the whole IM thing. It was accidental when I removed you. I was so depressed and frustrated at everything I was getting rid of all the contacts (but I swear I did not mean to include you) feeling that I needed a complete new start.

To everyone else, I am very sorry if I cheesed you all off in any way, shape or form.

Recently, I have completely lost interest in computers for technologies sake. I have begun to write a screenplay. I hope that my nephews and I can do a really cool movie in Flash perhaps. I know nothing of film direction, but if we could make a really cool short movie, maybe somebody would take me under their wing.

Peace,
Pete

Hey Manny, there is no reason to appologize. It is all good. Arguing with you has always been a good time and you are always a most worthy participant.

Even though I have made some great friends here and elsewhere, this is the internet. Life and family will always take the front seat. I consider many here to be part of my family, but I will always have to put my wife and kids first.

I am sorry you are going through a hard time. I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through and would not insult you by trying.

Just know that you are always welcome here with open arms. You will always be part of the 4peeps family, no matter what.

I am sure I speak for many here, if there is ever anything we can do for you...we are here.

Thanks Bull. Coming from someone such as yourself; that really does mean a great deal to me.

only thing that bothered me is you were right most of the time!!! LOLPP

we are here if we can do anything
Manny we LOVE you just the way you are!

I can't really add on to what bull and pap said except say ditto. You have always been, and always shall be my friend.

I Love you guys as Brothers, I honestly do.

I dunno... I'm still kinda up in the air about how things were left after the whole Honda Element thing.






Hang in there Manny.

Best wishes to a new start!

Hey Manny, I gotta be the lone dissenter. These guys are all grade A wussies.

Since you're being totally honest I hafta return the favour in kind. Sometimes, you were a jerk, HOWEVER, you were a jerk like ALL OF US have been from time to time. This is called LIFE, my brother. We can't all be sweetness and light (like me, sorry, even I'm gagging at that one.) all the time.

From my interactions with you, you were true to yourself, vehement in your discussions but never cruel. When empathy was required for others, you were right there first in line. It takes someone in pain or having experienced pain to understand other people's pain. A person that has won most of the time won't understand the person that has lost all the time.

But having lost just enough to have humility, understanding and empathy, one will see the other person's P.O.V. and appreciate the courage it takes to continue when the odds seem against you.

Thank-you for the apology but it wasn't neccessary for me from my perspective. All of us have suffered loss, grief, anger, and been confused by life and what it has tossed at us. Welcome to the world community. Just continue being a nice guy, that's all I ask. Be well and never lose faith: in yourself and in humanity.

thanks everyone

Manny be youself....never had a problem with you...you always bring out more conversation

Plus Neptune washers suck....


dont let life get you down...we all get kicked in the teeth sooner or later in life...so keep your head up...It will get good again sooner or later...

Dont sweat it bro, been through some tuff times myself in last couple of years and believe I came out a better person for it (I hardly ever yell at Ace anymore ).

Ace Who?

You did? I mean, you did! LOL.

awww... GRUOPHUG!

It's good to hear from you mbeeston and BigO
