Rants: Everyday Venting

[Ben]

 My portfolio is failing

All that research made me feel good about my investments but as soon as I buy they drop now I'm down a few thousand...

It seems to just be a thing with me, whenever I'm feeling good life comes along and back hands me right back to square one and says, "you can't do that!"

My brother was attacked at random by a complete low life.
He is in critical condition in an induced coma. They have operated on his right eye but won't know if it is saved until he wakes up.He has multiple fractures to his skull at his face, but they can't deal with them for a few more days until the pressure on his brain subsides.
If things go their very best, it will be very bad for him.

Here's hoping that bugger who hurt your brother gets put away for a looooooooong time.

Seriously, **censor** yeah.

[Trixsie Vixen]

He should be.  He was arrested within hours and appeared before a magistrate in an after hours session last night.  There will be no problem with evidence issues.


It is appalling on many levels, not the least of which is that my brother is a very small guy (we are both adopted) and he has an intellectual disability from a prior brain injury.  He is what you might call a soft target.  The attacker threw rocks through his window to get him to come out then beat him with a steel letter box.


It was around midnight and his lights would have been on as he only sleeps for a few hours at a time.  He has about 90 epileptic seizures per month and he has a chip in his head which monitors him to prompt certain medications.


My instinct is to wish harm to the attacker, but the truth is no amount of punishment or suffering will do my brother any good in the least.  So I am trying to rise above, let the justice system do its thing and focus on what good I can do.


It is difficult, but a very small challenge compared to what lies ahead for my big brother.

I feel for you. People have hurt my family.

I find when I have emotions I can't process, then when I have to write poetry.

[HyenaKing]

You're a great poet, you've put alot of effort into your own thread too for that.

*hugs Trixsie*

I really hope your brother comes out of this OK.

At least the bastard was arrested, and is going to be in no position to attack anyone else for a few years.

[Trixsie Vixen]

Thanks guys.


  I will keep you posted.  Long road ahead.


On a positive note, I see my poetry thread is approaching 10k views, which is utterly astounding.

[Cecilia Peromi]

Oh my goodness. That's horrible, I'm so sorry Trixsie. I really hope that you're brother pulls through.

[Raven MacKenzie]

Every time... and he doesn't wanna learn it.

Good, I feel better now.

I seriously can't believe how ignorant and crazy my family is. These are people that literally do terrible things, and then either act like they never happened, or try to say it's a "two-way street type of thing" and can't take the blame/responsibility.

I'm so glad that I'm done with them. No more dealing with them, seeing them, interacting with them. Literally the only difference now will be I don't have to worry about them pretending to want anything to do with me.

Something a little sad happened to me yesterday. I had met a new person on the forums and we were getting along very nicely. We were about to rp via Skype when he asked me if I was really a girl. I said no, (I'm honest) and he never responded back. I feel like I've ran him off... I didn't want to do that... but I also thought he'd accept me, and he didn't... it made me sad...

EDIT:

Wow, right after I posted this, he responded to me saying it wasn't a problem that I'm actually a boy.
