It's good to get things out of the system. Sometimes you just need to let things spill out. Kinda like a person enduring food poisoning when the body, despite all human effort, turns into a fire hydrant in a poor neighborhood on a hot summer day with little kids dancing around in it. Instead of kids mixing it up with water, in this case, it's a lot of vomit, shit, and remnants of the previous night's Cambodian entree. While you lay curled up in a fetal position by the base of the clogged up porcelain throne unable to see beyond the misery and contemplating a quick death after suffering cramps, chills, and a fever, at least the bug is out after the acutely painful interval.

Now, back to regaling stories of stealing a stripper's cash box, preparing dead kittens as pleasure toys, observations while traveling on public transportation, and movie reviews.

Ok, then fuck off dude. I hope you get chlamdyia.

Good to hear you've recovered, man. Now on to more important things: whom do I bet on in the Superbowl?

I never liked your blog. Thought it was quaint in a west coast kind of way. Your last series of posts though has changed my outlook on this through nothing short or excellant writing and flat out humanity. Regardless of the reasons that led to the posting, the writing has been nothing but stellar. It is quite rare that a writer can put the reader right into the situation and feel the words on the page. You just did an amazing job of that. Maybe it's because I just went through a similar situation or maybe I'm just surprised at this level of elequence, either way, the narration was tremendous. Keep it up. I'm converted.

Your buddy James was right. It's all about maintaining your dignity. If a girl doesn't want you enough to see past your differences, it's unfortunate and painful, but there are always others who will. I've been in your shoes, and while it hurts a LOT, the only option is to hold your head up, because at the end of the day all you have is your dignity... without that, you've got nothing else.
And hey, a good rebound or two never hurt anybody...

Wow. I doubt anyone has actually dropped a line *thanking* you for all this business, but that's what I'm here for. My girlfriend and I split up on the very same day and I've been through what seems to be much of exactly the same stuff. While there are plenty of differences, it's eerie how many similarities there have been. This has been the hardest breakup ever (and to be honest, nothing else has even been close), and there really wasn't anything wrong with our relationship. My "fuck you" was when I moved to California and left her behind in Virginia. And as painful as it is for me, she didn't like me enough to follow me out here. I too found myself digging into The Sun Also Rises, ("Yes...isn't it pretty to think so.") and going through the agony of a runaway imagination. The same troubles resolving the disconnect between my mental and emotional states. And this morning, after reading about Rex's troubles and comparing them with my own, I felt quite a bit better. Simply because I can see that someone else is going through exactly what I'm going through, and surviving, and will eventually heal, and so will I. Here's to you, Rex.

I understand how you feel but you'd only been going out for months. Me and my now-ex had been going out for over 70 years (no, we never married). Imagine how I feel - and there's not any time to meet anyone else. This is my last post. Goodbye, cruel world.

Drunk,
I'm glad your blog helped you work through the issues you're having. And I'm glad you're past being all emo online, but...
I liked you updating so often.
Please come back, DrunkasaurusMorrissey or non.

Welcome to being human, population eleventy-million and a half.

Bitches ain't shit but ho's and tricks.....those words ring true now just as much as they did in 1995.

i think you should post some new shit ass fucker

I'm glad you are feeling better about your break up and getting some perspective on it. You're intelligent and attractive (if your pics are any indication)enough that it shouldn't be difficult for you to find someone else. You write well and are fairly amusing. I just recently stumbled across your blog and I hope that you continue to post frequently. I need things to keep me occupied while I am procrastinating and trying to fool myself into thinking that I may actually use my free time and weekends productively. Keep up the good work.

post post post post post post post post post fucker!

I've got something I'm working on for this coming week. Nothing major or anything, just a piece on airport workers. They are a strange, strange lot so they deserve as precise an examination as I can give them.

Plus I hate them, so that helps.

wtf is this shit? dude, you're 27 years old, get over this shit. There are people in a lot worse situations than you, people whose loved ones die of cancer every year, people starving, people who don't have food or water, people dying of AIDS. You almost never see these people complaning. Boo hoo, your gf dumped you, big fucking deal. Your articles in general are well written, funny, and edgy, what is this whiny shit? She broke up with you, fine, you don't have to go online and analyze the deeper meaning behind this breakup, there is none. You could put what you wrote about this breakup into a small book, seriously, you actually broke it down day by day, wtf is this shit?

I pity you, "wtf is this?" Wait, hang on a minute, that's not pity I'm feeling. Oh yeah, it's contempt.

No, it's actually envy you're feeling, you're just too hormonal right now to decide what exactly it is you're feeling. I recommend tylenol menstrual relief.

Wow Rex need a tampon to absorb those whiney bitch tears? I can't believe the same sick fuck
whose rants about the pathetic ass-clowns that surround him in the beautiful and fucked up bay area would stoop to such a sad display of femotions. Nobody cares that you are in emotional termoil, NOBODY!! As if each and every fucking other swinging dick and flapping clit hasn't at one tine or another had some selfish piece of shit rip their heart out and take a huge corn-filled shit on them. Boo-fucking-hoo for you. "You are not a unique and precious flower,standing up against the slings and arrows of outragous fortune", you are just like every other humanoid on this miserable planet: alone at birth and alone at death, get used to it. Now take off the bra and dress, call up some of the sick fucks you normally congregate with and get back in the fucking game. What's that old saying, "bitch'es is just like busses, there's another one that comes by every 15 minutes. I hope this makes you feel better, because if I could come out there and bitch slap you back to your old self, I'd be there in a eyeblink for you man, really man just for you. Or if you're gonna continue to harp, then at least have the sack to suck pistol, god knows their easy enough to find iin the eastbay,bitch!!!

it's about bleedin time. build the bridge...

I thought you had something on airports coming out last week?

hate to remind you...but tmw is Valentines Day. It must have been a whole lot different last year

Jesus, you suck.

For the love of God, man! Get laid or something!

I love it when guys actually show they have feelings & are capable of caring about someone. It sucks when it doesn't work out, but it just shows you that you are more human. Can't wait for your new stuff!

yeah yeah, i liked a girl, she dumped me, waaa waa waaa, i feel like a tool, whatever. that is cool and all, but i wanna read more more Bart passanger analysis and similar type shit. you seem to be very good at analyzing complete strangers, so please do that more often. spanx.

Keep up the good work, and ignore the jackals that wander around here. "Doesn't matter... " is absolutely right, the past 5 days' events have really shown your skill as a writer and while you get a lot of negative comment about it now, I think you've connected with them more than they'd like to lead on.

That, or they could all just be retards who missed the point like an epilleptic sniper aiming at a strobe light. Either way, keep up the awesome.

Please come back!

The way you dealed with this break is amazing. Your writing was wonderful and very inspiring.

Dude, you tried articulating something completely abstract and undefinable as post-breakup cognition, in your fucking blog. For someone that's 27 years old, and claims to be a genius, you're fucking retarded. Maybe it helped you deal with whatever was going on in your head, but seriously: GET OVER IT. Every breakup sucks for everyone, and as a rule...the more intelligence fueling your analytical thought process, the rougher the breakup's going to be. Deal with it, brah.

Oh--and the people that gave you solace and understanding for the blog posts, are the very people that have wounds that'll never heal. Gurantee it. You're smart enough to figure out the connection.

just came across your blog, and like it for the most part. my ex did something similar a few years back. i broke up with him too but I did it right then and there. after a few months, I was able to see that he actually seemed to have learned a lesson and I took a chance and took him back. i'm glad I did because we're engaged now and we couldn't be happier. maybe if you just give her some time, she will do the same and two of you can start from scratch. don't do anything stupid to fuck it up in the meantime.
