Re:Philtration

Let's clear something up, shall we? We shall.

Unfortunately that blog entry has disappeared.

How did the whole suicide thing turn out? The intelligence (or lack there of) you posses is striking with that comment.

I did hit a pretty hard pathetic low in my life at that time, which by the way was well over six months ago. The main reason of it all stemmed from NOT being allowed to be a father for my daughter. The courts in Wisconsin favor women, massively as I found out. It had nothing to do with a girlfriend because at the time, I was single. It was nothing to do with my job, because I liked my job. I was taking four advanced college courses while working 40 hours a week, which took its toll, but if you want to blast me, do it with accuracy. It was primarily because I knew my daughter needed me and I couldn't be there for her. So the whole having a gf who didnt want me turning her into a sniveling weak kid, well just another made up comment.

Even as much of a low as I hit at that time, I never came to a forum, found what I felt was sensitive material, kept it stored and attempted to use it to bash someone more than six months after its entry, never. Who's pathetic now?

In fact the only reason I'm replying to this is because some people here actually cared. I spewed the bad, I'll share the good.

Since that blog entry my daughters mother went into the Army which gave me full placement of my daughter. Something I had been fighting for for over 4 years. That lasted two months because her mother was discharged from the Army for failure to adapt. However, I retained 50/50 placement because of the overwhelming maturity and good job I did with her in just those two months. She's doing much better in school now that her daddy is in her life helping her every chance he can and is much happier.

I graduated college on my 27th birthday with a sub reaching potential GPA of 3.0.

I moved into a nice duplex in Howard (that has a GARAGE!!, shush first time for me).

And as of the middle of January I started working as a Programmer / Analyst for the largest Beef Processing company in the world making over 40k a year.

Life couldn't be better and I'm about to get my daughter four days a week which means about 60/40 placement or so.

The bottom line is I hit a pretty pathetic low to post a blog here about it. There were a lot of other things in my life like my father being gone, my mother continuing to drink herself closer to the end and some other things that all hit me at once and it was a struggle. But guess what. I toughed it out like the rest of the world has to and made the most of every situation that I could possibly do.

I don't have to go to a forum and attempt to insult people to make myself feel better. I simply spend more time with my daughter and that's all I need to make my day better.

So again I ask, who's pathetic now?

PS, those who shared kind words in that blog, thank you, I do and did appreciate it.

Keep up the good work there Zero.. keep diggin and treasure every smile you get from your daughter.. it makes all those "sh..crap" days worth it.

Well done.

I apologize in advance to every forum member, except one.

I may get banned for this, but I am really pissed off.


Phil, what the **** is wrong with you?
You used to be a pretty decent guy, but you have now become a total *******.

What you posted was not only totally uncalled for, but the ignorance that you displayed was beyond belief.

I used to enjoy a lot of your posts, but posting that kind of crap is truly pathetic.
You have turned into a worthless piece of ****, and I am ashamed that I ever stood up for you.

I am usually a good judge of character, but in your case I totally blew that one.

You have become one pitiful excuse for a human being. Damn your digusting.

I should pity you, but to tell the truth I don't give a damn.

Z2C - Good thing you have your life worked out and you're getting 60/40 custody. Hopefully those numbers will go higher in your favor in the near future.

I can't believe someone would stoop that low to say something like Phil said to you. That was really rude and uncalled for. I don't know what to say, other than I'm embarrassed for the guy.

Vikes - You won't get banned for saying some things that a few of us probably want to say but are holding back.

I'll allow it.

I'm not an official mod.

But I rock things behind the scenes.

I hope they go higher too. The best part, so does my daughter. It's a great feeling that she wants to be with me more.

If I wouldn't have posted that blog in the first place, it wouldn't have given him the ammo to use. It was rude, but if you hang your balls out the window, there bound to get smacked. A part of the reason I made that entry was because I wanted people to tell me how pathetic I was for even thinking of it. I just didn't expect someone to hold the info for a half a year and use it as a last resort attempt to insult me because they somehow, someway couldn't find something else to use against me.

True.
One of the things I've learned through the years is that the bigger the bad times are, the more you appreciate the better times. I came from nothing and made something of myself and I appreciate everything I have.


Vikes, he's not worth the energy, bro.

Thanks for the visual, Zero.

VR.. I second the post.. if you get a rip.. I'll go right along with ya!

Wow, Phil posted that?

Goodbye Phil. Although knowing your track record, you'll sign up again because you have no life.

Third.

Zero.......you put your heart out for all to see. Unfortunatly it allowed an obvious ******* to take advantage of it.
Don't worry........what goes around comes around, in some way or another.
I have had some VERY low points in my life. Alot of times no one knows whats going on inside of me, day to day, because i'm afraid of being judged for it. So i make jokes.......kind of like the song "The tears of a clown".
I found it hard to believe that Phil would stoop to that level. But i read the garbage that he wrote. Thats the most classless post i have ever read on here. (And thats saying alot! I have been attacked by some myself as i'm sure you know)
Phil could crawl under the belly of a pregnant ant, and not touch it.
He's clueless AND classless in my opinion. He should never be allowed back here.......EVER.
Stay strong my friend!

wow. Goodbye low-life!

4th 8)

couldn't possibly be happier for ya, kev. i hope in some small way, our talks were helpful during that time. hang in there - the best is yet to come!

Go a head bash Philtration, hoist suicide-boy up on your shoulders and prance around like the good people you are pretending to be. The truth is Philtration expressed what you all felt to some degree maybe not as much, but lets face it that suicide solution is pretty repulsive to anyone with half a brain. Everyday is a gift if you waste it you are an ***.

This supposed to be a football site not a I-am-a-big-puss-feel-sorry-for-me site. Although with Farve gone I guess that is the way it will go now.

Bring back Philtration or continue to puss out.

Phil will not be back

interesting how you show up the day after Phil is banned and actually stand up for him.

Sounds like you want to join him in banville. that can be taken care of.

SVH...

Defend Phil as you wish, but everyone has moments of struggle throughout there life and reach out to others.. while it is debateable whether this is a place to reach out being that it is SO public, I for one am glad he did. Sharing your struggles is a healthy thing to do, especially if it is reaching points of depression.

Now, taking something like that, in the manner in which Phil did is pathetic and down right wrong. I don't care whom did it or why.. it could be the Pope for all I care and I would wish him banned from a place like here..

The world has little room for that kind of garbage, let alone a forum like this.

Maybe that is expected in Chicago.. if so, keep it there.

Maybe Philtration's reaction was tough love. It got your boy's neck out of the noose and got him typing on the keyboard.

Six months after the original post.. yep not buying that at all.. classless bullshit is what it is called.

I will cry a river! If you can't take it go ahead.

Is this the post that got Phil banned?

You talk about this said person like he is a child, not a man.

If he is a child I agree tough love in this case would have had him sucking on the tail pipe of the pickup in no time.

LT.. I have decided to bail out of this nonsense.. either Sweet is backing Phil at all costs or that some parts of this country have lost all sense of human moral decency..

Either way it has become less the pointless. Friggin sad at that..

I had a friend that took a belt, took a belt and hung himself
Hung himself in the doorway of the apartment where he lived
His woman and his little bro came home from the grocery store
Only to find him dangling in the apartment where he lived

I had a friend who shaved his head
Put his Doctor Martins on
And drew such wondrous pictures in the apartment where he lived
He praised my creativity, though he spoke sarcastically
Oh, the conversations in the apartment where he lived

I had a friend that took a belt, took a belt and hung himself
Hung himself in the doorway of the apartment where he lived
Rock, she thought him spiteful; Ler, he thought him pitiful
Me, I've never been back to the apartment where he lived

Just kidding..
That was the song "Bob" by Primus

There was a guy that my friends and I used to run into at a club. He was a really cool kid and was a cook at one of the local eateries. He was a good looking guy and we thought he was really "together". Someone told me he hung himself in his basement, because he broke up with his girlfriend. I was very saddened by that.
