I try to be civil. I try to be nice and understanding to everyone. In other words it takes a lot to piss me off. Thank you to the asshole that broke into my room and stole my PlayStation 3. Thank you for making me have to take time out of my already packed and less than bright day to file a report and remove all credit information from my account. Thank you for changing my view of the world and making me feel no longer safe in my own room. Thank you for actually going out of your way to figure out which closed door was unlocked and which one contained an empty room so you could steal their stuff. Believe me this is one of those times I really wished I got back early so I could pound your face in. And most of all thank you for teaching me what has to happen, what a person has to do to make me hate them. Asshole, my friend, you have accomplished a rare feat in the world. You have managed to make me hate another human being. A feat that many of my friends sometimes don’t think is possible. I was going to put a real post up today. I was planning on getting one out every day this week. I had more than enough material. But somehow it doesn’t seem worth it anymore. I’ve had a busy day that wasn’t over yet and thanks to you got completely derailed. 5 hours later I find myself in an increasing state of pissed off and writing this instead of everything else I could be doing and should be doing. This was a bad day for me already, so thank you asshole for making it even worse. So I will put this in a way you can understand me. You want the police to find you, because you don’t want me to find you. I have enough stress without having to wonder if I’ll get what’s mine back and having to wonder if I have deal with this shit ever again. I don’t like having to lock my door just to go to the bathroom for 5 minutes. I’m not even sure I can get another one. They don’t make the 60 gig model anymore and even if they did, I don’t have the money. The hard work I poured into doesn’t matter anymore, my saves, my money, my time and now my critical effort. My only consolation is that a lot of my profile’s stuff is online and not on the machine.
To any readers I might have picked up I will finish up whatever work and game essays I still have. I might post a piece on what little PC gaming I own or DS gaming, but the fact of the matter is, most of the work I had coming up was on the PlayStation. Time will tell if I’ll even bother anymore.
Oh and one last thing.
Thanks asshole and FUCK YOU!
Eric,
I feel for you deeply, something roughly the same having happened to me two weeks ago (though you have the added, and much more extreme, displeasure of not feeling safe in your home anymore). I was in class and somebody stole my very nice bike.
All I could think was, “This is how I get to school. This is my life.”
I feel the same could be said of your PS3: writing about it was the thing that made you happy, a goal you’d set for yourself. Somebody cut into your -life- to make a hundred bucks or so.
Good luck dealing with the feelings of hatred; mine still haven’t gone away – they pop up everytime I have to mount this shitty Walmart bike I had to buy (which isn’t built for a daily commute) because I didn’t have the money to replace my nice one.
And good luck keeping up the motivation to write. I hope this doesn’t prevent you from creating what could’ve become a prosperous game writing project.
My PS3 nearly got stolen the day it was shipped to me. Apparently some thief broke it and it was just about to head out the door before my roommate came down the stairs and the person bolted. I hope by some miracle this will get resolved and everything will work out, but that is probably unlikely. If only you knew the serial number of the console and could file a report at the police station or some pawn shops. Best case scenario is try to do some leg work and hope the Internet gets behind you and finds the jerk that did this.
I feel you. I was robbed the day after Christmas by my supposedly good friends I just can’t prove it but I know it was them it sucks. As someone who lives alone it sucks not going home to your Wii, Wii fit, labtop, HDTV and etc. It sucks but you know what ”sometimes you have to take 5 steps backwards in order to take 10 steps forward”. So keep that in mind and take it day by day sometimes I have good days and sometimes I have bad days especially when I think about good things I had doing then I realize I did that good thing with those same people that robbed me.
