Life as we know it-In the eyes of liars

A few months ago, someone who I had known (not really that well) talked to me out of the blue.

Part of me went against my better judgement.  I had been hurt many times before, but for some reason I went against my head.

And I should have listened better to what I was feeling.

I thought it was special, it was helping me deal with a loss before, but then all of a sudden it all changed.

You lied to me that night, something people told me was going to happen.

If you would have been honest, it would have been a lot easier to take and I could have moved on with my life.

But then you feel like you need to rub it in more.  How can one person go the way you did in two days time?

One thing for sure, I know what you said to me was a line of shit, you got what you wanted. 

For that, life as we know it, you know you are scum.

Life as we know it-in the eyes of Max

Sometimes life can be full, other times it can be empty.  In the case of my dog, I wonder what in the hell is he thinking?  I lie there on my bed, him next to me, head on my stomach and out of nowhere he starts trying to eat flies.  Doesn't budge from where he is.  At 4 in the a.m. as well.  When that happens, I'm awake, no putting me back to sleep.  Gives me a chance to reflect on certain things though. 

When it rains, it pours.  Never forget that.

When life gives you lemons, ask where the damn sugar is. 

When life throws you a curveballs, ask for a slider next time. 

This sums up everything lately for me.  It has been rocky the last few weeks.  No job, no money to pay that damn cell phone bill that people rang up (not me), at least I have a home for now. 

After Monday night, I realized how much I can trust people.  Truth is, not very much.  Because they find ways to hurt you in every way imaginable. 

Just remember, life as we know it-it isn't about who you think you know, it is about who you do know.  In the case of Max, he knows I'm there and I'm not going to get upset at him.

But, he continues to try to eat flies while laying on my stomach, off the bed he goes.
