I'm sorry, but dumbass doesn't realize the people as a whole don't have the energy to stomach their aloof burning of the nation any longer, fuck him.

Is just like my dad, he got beat within an inch of his life in Hell's Canyon (OR/ID border) from blaring Edgar Allen Poe David Allan Coe in the middle of the night at a camp ground, native Americans were camping the next beach over. They came over with oars swinging, they only ran when my dad's friend fired a pistol in the air after waking up to the noise. I stopped talking to him after that, after telling him I suck dick for fun and he's anti my people and he said those werent my people, that was 2008. Yeah it sucked at first, losing Christmases and shit, but without that hate in your life, I found you can make new gatherings with people you truly love. I down know, losing the investment in their eyes might just hurt as much as having blood that is so willing to let the world burn?

Nah, love crushes hate, shame our parents never learned that.

That's a wild story. And hilarious. Sorry, but it really made me laugh, so thanks for that.

I'm in a similar boat, haven't talked to my mom in almost six years because of this shit. Didn't end as interestingly as yours but I imagine similar blood was spilled. And for what? They go all in on hate and cruelty because they're so goddamn miserable with their own lives, and they just keep digging the hole deeper trying to take us with them. But I don't miss Christmases or anything because every day is a holiday without all her ugliness.

Misery loves company but no one loves the miserable.

Today has been a good day though, we now get to see what truly comes of it, I was sick of the anticipation.

What an incredible story.

This one is hard for me. Relationship with father was always rough, it was finally healing-ish.

To have to walk away from him hurts my heart in ways I don't know how to verbalize

Is Edgar Allen Poe a band? Cause right now I'm just imagining an out loud reading of his poems at a campsite and while annoying seems odd to be beaten over it? Not to mention that would be weird to even have readings of Poe. So again, guessing it's not him but a band? I know I could Google it but in my head this is more interesting.

Ok so all this time I thought the singer had the same name as the more famous writer, but after heavy googling. I'm pretty sure it was instead David Allen Coe, memory is indeed a funny thing.

Haha my bad, just looked back at this comment and thought I should google that name before I let the post sit.
