I had a No Name sign the GuestBook again. This one was short and to the point:

If you know this girl, why don’t you call her?

If I know the girl why don’t I call her? Yeah that’s a good question. I don’t know. Maybe because I’m just a little bit scared to do so. And really what would I say? Anything I would have to say, is nothing she wants to hear. Izer knows what I’m talking about and I can admit nothing. Not to myself or to anyone else.

So maybe it’s best that she doesn’t stop by the site anymore. I sounded stupid on the post on the 7th. Maybe Secretive wasn’t even her. Maybe it was just someone trying to get me going. And maybe they succeeded. She makes me weak, and I don’t like the feeling. My macho ego and all.

No, it’s best to leave it alone. This whole thing is ridiculous. A half of year has gone by, and this is all over some friends who parted ways. It happens. Granted I can’t say the right thing to her. Izer got it right with the git reference. I feel like a Hugh Grant character. Repeating “bugger” over and over. That and “bullocks.”

Let’s wrap this up. Anyone who knows what this is all about re-read January 25th post called Time To Move On. And consider this a dead and taboo subject. And once more I say that’s all I got to say about that in my best Forrest Gump voice.

And we have Adrian who signed the GuestBook once more:

Hey Turk, how is it going? fine here. Well, its official, I’m going out with Tara. we were going out to the movies last night, but due to the fact that we both had no car, we couldn’t go. Well, gotta go there’s some crazy girl standing behind me in class reading this. OUCH! she just hit me. See ya.

Congratulations Adrian. And good luck. Tell Mr. Peterson I said hi. Better yet tell him Mayo said hi and see if he gets it.

Well I hope my ranting’s have not started an uproar. I usually don’t get involved in other people affairs but the man behind the curtain has been burned before by the other sex before because sometimes he wears his heart on his sleeve.

Secretive this is directed to you. I did not mean to sound rude or uncaring it was just the opposite. I think of him as my brother and the situation hurt him deeply but he won’t admit it. I have nothing against you as I think of you as a smart and caring person and I know that the situation that happened to make things weird was a little problem.

But did you think that with all the time you guys were spending together that he wouldn’t fall for all the good qualities in you? Well just think on that for a moment?

Well I did it again. I have alienated “that one girl” one more time. That’s if she was Secretive. If Secretive was “that one girl.” Please if your still reading this page, get a hold of me. I work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Ten pm to Eight am. I didn’t mean for you to get mad. I’m sorry. You didn’t disturb me. Please at least e-mail me. If you are “that one girl.” Please just think about it.

Wow that’s three pleases in one paragraph. I don’t remember who said it, but someone told me “Superman has Kryptonite and you have “that one girl.”

She said “you guys”. Mr. Izer stopped by to check in on the mayhem lately. Shit just read what the man said in the GuestBook:

Name: IZER/SPIDER/JEFF?

Well well well, I haven’t wrote in this guest book in a little while ya know had to pop out a couple of beautiful kids and build the izer/spider/jeff mansion. Hey Hey things are sure getting interesting in the old site which I can say I’ve been there since the beginning! Damn I feel old. SO does anybody want to hear what I have to say about secretive? YES, NO? Well TOO DAMN BAD you are going to hear it anyway. The man behind the curtain running this web site has been my closest friend for a good many years and if you really got to know him as a FRIEND! You would know that he thinks that his friends are even more important that family because he’s like me family always “FUCKS YOU AT THE DRIVE THRU”! And if HE/SHE was really Turk’s friend they would just fess up and get some balls (Depending on the testosterone levels?) And stop BEATING AROUND THE FUCKING BUSH and say what they want to say! So have your little fun if you must to get your kicks and it does make for some good tit for tat? “But that is just my opinion!” And as a great poet once said “FUCK THEM! FUCK THEM ALL!” And in as Dennis Quaid put it “I’m BAACCK!”

What can I say? He’s right about the friend’s thing. At least I try. Friends are important to me. Well I’m out of juice.

Wow. Here’s Secretive:

I was just having fun. Sorry to disturb you. There isn’t anything left to say. Except…you guys take things way too personally. No one was being insulted, so take it easy.

It was you. I didn’t honestly expect that. I didn’t take any of it personally. Or maybe it wasn’t you. Either way, I just changed tactics on you Secretive. Remember this is a game we are playing. A friendly game. I thought you would see my ploy for what it was. If you are “That One Girl” as your brother put it, I’m going to apologize again. You should feel special about this. I have apologized to you three times. I ain’t never done that to no one else.

Secretive showed up in the GuestBook, again. Of course Secretive was sure to drop some hints. Here is what Secretive said (broken down):

I hope that you weren’t waiting for me to write again. I don’t really have that much to say.

No I haven’t been waiting for you to write again. I wouldn’t want you to tax yourself.

Been to Tomorrow’s Is Yesterday lately? Great place isn’t it?

Yeah TIY is a great place. Did you go with me to the comic store? What just once right? You were bored.

Where do you live, now? With your dad? It’s been awhile.

Yes I’m at my dad’s. Yes it’s been awhile. You are going to have to forgive me Secretive I’m just a little hung over. Why are you doing this? Did I mistreat you? Did I do you some grievous wrong? What’s the deal? Like I said before, your one of two people. Neither whom I really want to see again. One of them I just don’t give a shit about. The other I do. The past is the past. Let it go.

I’m going to be nice. I promise. A J. Abbott signed the GuestBook with some interesting things to say. He is manager of a Red Roof Inn. So some of what he said was coming as a manager. Here’s what he said:

I am a manager of a Red Roof Inn in Buffalo, New York. I just wanted to say that I get your site. Anyone who sells a T-shirt based solely on its association with a personal web-site is smoking some good stuff. If not that, what’s your driving power?

Most writers try to expose some sort of injustice, some overlooked sect of humanity, or maybe to clarify an issue. To persuade the masses… Or find an non-emotional way to bond with people? What’s your story?

I envy your ability to hold society at bay, behind the security of the keyboard. Only, I don’t think you realize that your doing it.

j. abbott

Either you are younger than me, or your way older. No I’m not smoking “some good stuff”. You are the same kind of person that goes and watches a Carrot Top movie and comes away mad that it wasn’t spiritually uplifting? It’s just a website. Jeez, what do you want? As far as holding society at bay, I guess I don’t see it that way. I’m not writing stuff for Time or Newsweek. This site started as a place for me to bitch about managers like you. Why don’t you let your employee’s come and see my site. Maybe they will understand more than you.
