Well, my pal on Oahu isn't going for my going over and helping him out in any way. Originally he's sounded like he wanted me to come over ASAP.
My Big Island buddy (OK I'm tired of these names) Pat told me about Dave (Oahu guy) being into a lot of right-wing conspiracy stuff (I asked about it because Dave's latest email referred to the NWO which is pretty funny) and how Dave's not only really right-wing and anti-Semitic but anti-Chinese as well which is pretty funny, said Pat, given he's 100% Chinese himself. I wonder if you can be "dying of whiteness" even if you're not white?
In other words, there's no way I'd be able to work with, and certainly not live with, someone like that. But even so, it sounds like he's refused help from everyone else also, and won't even let Pat and another friend buy him a new smartphone which he kind of needs (I've also offered a laptop or to find him a tablet).
So on one hand, Dave's circling the drain, and on the other, if anyone tries to help he paddles harder for the center of the whirlpool.
So Pat and I have decided that we've each done our bit or tried to, and it's enough. As far as I'm concerned I've done more than enough even talking with him. I have zero respect for those who think "Teh evul jooz" are out to get them.
The thing is, you have to "plan your work and work your plan". Having plans is great - I just revert to my original plan of leaving in a bit less than 2 years. I worked a bit of my plan today and had time to make the post office and FedEx run and get some things at H Mart, and then get rained on riding home - but by that time the packages were all sent so I didn't mind. I didn't get too wet. I was going to hang out at Tom's a bit but it was too rainy and blustery to feel like doing anything but coming right back here.I guess we're still in Winter, after all.
It's such a nice feeling to be inside while the rain goes plip-plop and drip-drop.
