This morning, all I wanted to do was walk away; quit, and just forget that I ever breathed a word of any of what I said to anyone, but the ...prurient question (darn English for being awkward! In my language I would have said, 'muvhunzo une mukosho mukuru' -meaning, literally, the question with the biggest, eh, balls....warning, MY version of Shona is one that is not to be found in any normal conversation) was, of course, where the fuck could a person who can not kill himself, and is not interested in making a name for himself, and is not interested in anything much in life... where the fuck can a person like me go?
Especially since he has not found incontrovertible proof that the people he thinks are interested in him are NOT so inclined, even if there is the added dimension that the said person pretty much complained that he wanted such and such a type of person, and the person appeared.
I mean, the Glencairn Heights girl aside, and the Dutch girl, and the other woman at the library with the golden hair, or the other one with the sweet smile who seemed upset when I went and sat at the terminal and switched myself off from everyone else, or the other one with the cleft chin who regarded me so gravely OR the other one who came and walked on the beach, and made herself very plain to me even when I wanted to conclude that she was crazy, or even Nicky?, who leaned forward as I looked at her, OR her mother who could have acted differently, I suppose, if she had not been interested in my 'spiel', and myself, OR the other girl who called HER mother on the cell as soon as I started hyperventilating because the girl she had walked in with was so...garrulous, and got on my nerves, OR the other girl, Nicky's sister who looked far more interested in my doings than a deer caught in a lion's den would have...she did not have to do anything than turn her nose up at me and I would have ignored her totally, but she drew close...those little things...well, all those women aside, I have nothing to keep me here, see?
Which is why I could not get myself to go. I mean, I KNOW when I see something, and so, OK, I usually want to be negative about all my conclusions just so that I can avoid having to care for anyone, since it has always been that when I cared, yeah, for my mom, weirdly enough, she exploited that so craftily it was only when I left home that I realised just how manipulative she had been.
OK, I am not naive, but I also did not want to credit anyone with the amount of cynicism that she had exhibited, and it was only when I came face to face with the same brand in Michelle that I found out just how someone, on the rebound from a failed relationship with another [either through unsatisfactory conclusion or the refusal of one party to play the game by the common rules] could set her sights on a seemingly weaker opponent just so that she can get her revenge on that person.
Frankly, while I am not exonerating myself [listen, no one can judge me, because I brought up the subject with God, and told Him that I had abused the girl I spoke about yesterday, and so He should punish me, but He said He would have compassion on whom He will have compassion, and later,in the matter of Michelle, when I went to see her last November to ask if she would go with me coz, and she said no, and then I said, even if I told you I love you, because I do (so I lied, as I said, I wanted out, and the holy spirit, knowing my interest in languages, had pointed out her then email address, which had 'permich', so, of course, I concluded that it was to be 'through' Michelle, hence my single-minded pursuit of some kind of closure) and she said maybe,God later asked me why I 'would die'], part of the reason why I picked on that girl was because, when I met her at my aunt's, with her friend, my cousin, at the time I was running away from confronting my mother, she told me her life story, which revealed how she was so bitter at her ex-boyfriend because he had, the dirty bastard [her sentiments, not mine], tricked her into sleeping with her, impregnated her, and then, instead of doing the 'right' thing, had run away and gotten married to some other girl whom he had impregnated at about the same time... so, from a predator like me, it meant that, from the outset,there would be no emotional attachment, just anger, from both parties.
No ties. I did not care about her, she was not focused on me, and so, I used her, coldly, calculatingly, and then would not walk away ... BEFORE I had even slept with her...I think, there was some heavy petting, and I may have been more adventurous than I intended, but I never thought she would not know when I was in or not. Frankly, I never could tell the difference, which says a lot about the 'relationship'.
Anyway, God intervened when she decided to yank the chain so I could be reconciled with my mom so she could have a foothold, and did the vision thing, and I flipped out and protested.
I should have walked away, but then, walking away would have meant going back to my mom, since I am totally ...incapable... of looking after myself, really, and could never have done anything ...productive, or progressive...
Which brings me up to the jolting question that I asked God about why I was still here and He said, 'tell them the source of the cloud that does not bear water'.
I never deeply considered it, but I suppose anyone could conclude, and they usually do, that I have a lot of potential to do great things, but I am doing nothing.
Hell, I could be gainfully employed in any industry and make a moerse amount of money, but I do not, and part of the reason is that I do not care enough for my own life to do anything for myself.
I never could.
On my own, I retreat into the dark abyss of despair, and I suppose that, when I noticed that my mother had expectations of me, I deliberately decided to frustrate those, and have been seeking a woman, or, as it turns out, women, to live for and do things for, women who would not abuse that, as others have, and so, I never bothered to DO anything that would launch me into any place because I was adamant that whoever I did it for had to be able to appreciate it, and would in exchange not begrudge me the chance to lie with my arms around her, all night, if possible.
Which is why it struck me so forcibly when I saw a particular type of woman, one with no black hair, and the kind of face one wants to reach out and touch, and kiss, and the type of person one wants to hold and fondle, and then, maybe, later, talk to, and not be afraid that she would expose her teeth as she smiles and make you react to the aggressive intent, or one who will be as easy to just cuddle with... OK< LISTEN you sods! Capleton and all those reggae artists go on and on about not sucking pussy, but I like it, and did it a lot, only the women did not take kindly to it, they thought that it was unmanly to so act before a woman, but I kinda like it, and anyway, the clittoris is there to merely 'receive' pleasure, so why not give a woman pleasure to the extreme, maybe show her you appreciate her that way, since verbally I am a washout?
Then,, of course, there is sex. Lotsa sex.
but I have said a lot about THAT,so I will not go there anymore.
Now, that said, where the fuck do I go?
When nowhere means much to me anyway. When certain people mean more to me than anything anyone can give me? Or even my own dignity?
