The incredible true adventures of-STUPID PATRICK
Intellegence and common sense are two differnt forms of knowledge, the former is learned or either born with, and common sense is learned through experience. Its quite impolite to seek enjoyment out of another persons pitfalls, yet sometimes it is much needed, encouraged, and what the hell-FUN!.
While I was attempting to catch up on some sleep last night, the phone rang, and rang. One of the gentleman callers was of course Patrick.
Sexual ambigious Patrick is my age, having met him during the computer upgrade at the hospital. A salvage/dumpster diver/garage sale/antique aficionado, we both have alot in common and the same interests. In the movie "Dead Poets Society", Robert Keating states: sucking the marrow out of life-doesn't mean choking on the bone. Patrick chokes constantly. His educational background includes a bachelors in Biology, bachelors in physiology (spelling?), masters in physiology, bachelors in nursing, and currently working towards his degree in nurse anethesist. He is constantly running around-seldom taking out time for himself to enjoy the world around him. In one year, he worked 2,000 hours of overtime-overtime, not including his regular schedueled 40hrs/week."
For those who use e-bay and paypal, the savy internet users as well, probably have encountered the plethora of fraudant e-mail i.e.: you have added a new email to your paypal acount, or you just sent so and so, x amount of money. Correct me if I'm off base, but you would know if you had done any of these previous actions. Since I know my transactions, I have previously contacted paypal, without touching any of the links in the electronic message, and found out they are fraud. No harm done. Delete the message, go on with life.
The reason for the blessed phone call from Patrick, was his inquiry if I had ever dealt with "PAYPALS (note the plural)". Evedentlly, Patrick had recieved a frauduant "paypals", believed it, clicked on the link in the email, and had started to enter all his credit card information, prior to discovering the fraud. He had just gotten off the phone with "PAYPALS", customer service center, and wanted to know my experience with it.
First and foremost, its PAYPAL (note singular). Anoyance in his use of terminolgy was justification, he had no idea what he was talkign about. Secondly, before typing any credit card information into the computer-one best know what he/she is doing.
My annoyance came directly from his lack of information, and misuse of english language. I'll hold court with anyone-strike a conversation with a stranger, on the basis it will be a conversation. Use of "you know (which Patrick said after each sentese), and use of the slang "so, yup, yeah", drives me to turn my attention elsewhere. Its a wrongful assumption that I am going to "know" exactly what your mind thinks or operates. Unfortunately, Minnesota'ns-use those words to infinity. Which annoys me to no end..........

When Patrick called, I wanted to ask him "Are you that STUPID ?". I don't understand alot of his motivation. He also drives me crazy, he likes to fuck with my mind-and for some reason, I let him-- Just his carriage and demenor on the phone, made me think "give me a fucking break!"...... I wish I understood him more, I wish he wasn't so sexual ambiguant... maybe its just me....

During the conversation he told me he got into a car accident with his truck, and the place where he got it fixed, put a rush on it, because they knew he was in school to become an anethesiologist (spelling?), and he was going to bring muffins over to them to thank them. I was like-whatever.. must be nice to live in a reality where the world revolves around you...

I am not the least bit Jelouse. I wouldn't want his lifestyle or his vision of reality for the life of me. He never takes time out for himself, and recently has been getting into politics and "stiring the pot". That is not my thing. I don't need to have my pot, or stir anyone others, I have enough shit as it is, and don't need any of my past choices coming back to bite me in the ass. He moves from one extreme to another in this rose colored haze he has created, and never takes time out.
Part of me, really wants him to be knocked down off of his pedastle. I think it would be good for him.
He's gay, but he won't admit it to himself. He loves to talk and give sexual induendo's but then won't act on it. As I mentioned before, he stirs the pot. Plays with your emotions.
The only thing I want to do, is take some leather restraints, tie him to a bed, gag him and fuck the living shit out of him for all eternity. All he needs is a GOOD HARD FUCK!

As for Patrick, I have never understood how such book smart people can be so totally STUPID at the same time. It's like, take your nose out of the book for a second and see the world. ugh... I worked with a nurse that was like that. Very brainy and very friendly, but no real common sense to save his soul.
Good luck, Jon
