"The Asshole Club"
People do strange things out of guilt. So many thoughts are flowing out of me, yet I've been sitting here for the last fifteen minutes staring at the screen. I swear... when it rains it pours.
It's funny, my girlfriends and I have this club we've named "The Asshole Club." It takes a huge effort to get yourself into that club. Many have paid quite a few membership dues and others have already bumped themselves up to "Lifetime Member" status. And the best part is, like a health club, this "Asshole Club" seems to be the latest trend. This club does not discriminate either. Although, I fail to see the membership perks. Men and women alike have been known to join. Now the only difficulty with this club is this... once initiated into this club, it is difficult to terminate your contract and you (Asshole club member) have possibly more membership dues to pay in order to get out of it. If you can't get out of any other contract easily, what makes these people think that they can apologize and think that life goes on the same as it did before? And although some contracts allow you to pay money to get out of a contract, this club is different. Once a member of the "Asshole Club," you can try to give something of monitary value to get out of your contract. However, your status will not only remain "Asshole club member," but it will now read, "Asshole Club Member who is poor."
This leads me to describe a few members of my particular club. This one person is the star of the club. Apparently this fool has been trying to contact me because he wants to somehow redeem himself. He has already signed up for the "Asshole Club Member who is poor," but now he wants to become an "Asshole Club Member who is poorER." Apparently he found out that I've encountered a few issues with my life and wants to somehow help out. I certainly do NOT want a "pity party." And screw the "Asshole Club Members" for wanting to join this pity party that seems to be thrown in my honor... I don't want it, I don't need it! Obviously, if I have not gone out of my way to talk to you or be there for you, I really don't care. No, that is a lie. I do care, I just don't care to revisit that. Here is the deal.... a burned bridge cannot be crossed. If the bridge was burned down, there is a reason for it and chances are (oh do I love that movie), it won't be rebuilt. Who the hell wants to revisit that point in their life that caused so much heartache... certainly not I... but it was a lesson well learned.
With that being said, "Asshole Club Members" will forever be thought of as lifetime members unless proven otherwise...
