Category: Life

Anyone reading this should understand that I only post blogs when things really have an affect on me whether they be good or bad, usually really good or really bad. That is what I am and when I am inspired to do so, or to blow off some steam or to share something really cool. It is who I am and I have never pulled any punches in my life, especially with myself. I think it is part of being bipolar, but who gives a fuck, it is me.... high highs and low lows. So with that said there is a bit more I wanted to vent about, read it or don't, it is what it is, it is where my head is.

All of this started with the failure of my business, started the ball rolling and it has not been gaining speed, it has been a slow roll, maybe a downward spiral in control, well... partial control.

I guess middle age, the realization that you are in it makes you reassess things. Makes you look at your life, see where you have been and where you are going, or not going. I don't give a fuck what anyone says, getting older sucks fucking dick. Dealing with people on a daily basis that are in their early 20's and talking about shit that happened before they were born makes you realize, makes me realize how old I am getting. Am I alone, of course not, but I am talking about my revelations and realizations, not anyone elses. 

Is this it? There is no figuring out shit in life, there is no enlightenment with age. It is just becoming comfortable within yourself. It is accepting things for what they are and being ok with it. But, what if you aren't ok with it? What if you go fighting and screaming the entire way? You can only fight so long before you eventually get beat down. Ever see Cool Hand Luke? He died, remember?

I know some of this talk makes people uncomfortable, yeah... me too. But fuck it. It also pisses me off, confuses me, upsets me, makes me sad and stirrs shit up inside I wish it never did.

It's also a very fun thing when your ex-wife says (not trying to be mean or hurtfull, just matter of factly) sounds like you have taken a giant leap backwards.... and you know it is so fucking true, that it cuts you to the bone.

The thought of starting over in so many ways..... just really makes me tired, yes... this is whining like a little bitch, tough shit... this is my thoughts, go read someone else's shit or better yet, go masturbate.

I haven't been a great dad. My daughter hasn't spoken to me for about a quarter of her life. Part her fault, part mine... but, yes... I am the adult, well now we both are, but point is made. We have, or she has always had a love hate relationship with me. I think she gets me, but she doesn't. Is that her fault? I am fucked up, how is she supposed to get that? How is she supposed to understand that? She has been an adolescent teenage girl, she is now 20, how am I supposed to get that? I hated my sister at that age. My first love, at that age, it was hard and filled with confusion and fighting and feelings beyond my understanding then... and now to be honest. But I think then they are, were, so new and never experienced before that it was magnified by 1000+. Point being, I have never understood women, and more so, women of the teen age type. I just hope the damage isn't forever, but the time, the years lost are forever..... and with the thoughts of leaving, it makes it that much harder.

Did you ever know you had been with the hottest person you will ever be with and you have no chance of topping it ever again? You topped out, so to speak... Yes, very shallow. But, I am a guy and it is all part of my make up, so fuck off. And yes, I have met better girls and all that... and one in particular that I would do just about anything for, but .............. not the point.

I get tired of being alone at times. Being single for the last 8 years has had it's good points and it's bad. But like everything else, I have made these choices in my life and it is so lame of me to bitch or whine about it when it has been my choice. You can't have that when you want it, or only when you want or feel you need it.

But reading the last 2 paragraphs.... one is reason for the other, in a way.

Believe it or not, I do feel much better right now, but it doesn't change anything.... or is it all just in my fucking head, a great mind fuck I am doing to myself?     

The years just fly by faster and faster. My mother always said that the older you get the faster it goes (time) and that is no fucking shit.

Part of what has made my life good, and made my life interesting is what makes things so unsure as well. Flying by the seat of your pants, going where the wind takes you, open for any experiences regardless of the consequences... cool, fun, exciting.... also makes for no roots, instability and no plan for the future.

Makes me feel like a fucking pussy. But you find out that life is harder than you ever thought sometimes. Telling yourself that things always work out..... and they have seemed to, but what if.....

I have had a pretty good life.... I shouldn't complain. sigh..........

I am not, nor have I ever looked for anyone's sympathy. I am just venting.

I will probly delete both of these posts soon....

Dude, it's ok to vent. It's good to get the toxic thoughts out of your head. <shift><enter>

Seriously, you shouldn't look back on your life and dwell on the regrets, or the "might-have-beens". You've already lived a very full life, and experienced things that most people never will! <shift><enter>

Though you may not see it, you have affected many peoples' lives simply by living yours. You'll probably kick me in my Dr.-Phil-loving head, (ha!) but it's like that movie "It's a Wonderful Life". George thinks he is a failure, but when he is taken out of the equation, everything is affected in ways he never imagined. <shift><enter>

All one can do, is do the best you can. And in the end, be confident that you made your mark. Knowing that the world was a better place because you were in it.

Its really funny that the older I get in years the younger I "feel" in my mind.
But there are days when my mind catches up to my body and I feel old.
No elder in my family has ever told me that getting older it great but I certainly
appreciate every day, hour and minute I have on this earth with a greater reverance.
Hang in there Dick..Just maybe things will get ,,,better!!

Better to vent in a Diary. You know; the ones that are paper. Because if you keep growing, anywhere from five months to five years from now you are going to experience a very bad day in realizing what you wrote here might last well beyond your rant. And you are Not going to like it. Venting is always good; but venting is only positive when it's done privately. It's venting. So vent smart.

My dad escaped from a POW camp after 9 months and 60 pounds. This is what he taught me about that experience.

1. Physical exercise is good for itself, but it also improves one's outlook
2. A positive mental outlook improves chances of survival
3. Mediation both relaxes the mind and the body

Oh yeah. Since Dad exercised, (while dropping pounds he needed) and had the discipline to work on a positive mental outlook (come on..that's hard in a POW camp) and also meditated . . .the result was doing all this helped him recognize an opportunity to escape.

So he did. : )

It seems as though you were deep in thought here. I screwed around in the beginning of my life... just having a blast and living life, until I had my daughter. My life was her, I saw my life in her eyes and I knew I wanted to make her proud of me. When I turned 42 I decided to go back to school and get my undergrad in business then I went straight into a grad school and received my master degree in education. I now teach high school and my daughter is 21 years old. She and her friends are inspired by me, that makes me feel good to know that I have accomplished something to inspire someone. My daughter has found what she enjoys doing and went to school for it and is now working in that field. She has a better head on her shoulders than I do. I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up, but I'm never going to give up learning new things and experiencing new things.

This is what my love said "Your children are grown and you shouldn't live your life now to please them. Since they are adults now, or at least should be, you should do what you want. You can always keep in touch with them through snail mail, email, or calling them."

The people you should concern yourself with are your parents. Eventually we have to raise our parents. I personally can not move away from where I live because I am my mother's care giver. She needs me more than my own daughter does. I will be here for her for as long as she needs me.

You said something that rang really right-on true for me as well:

"Part of what has made my life good, and made my life interesting is what makes things so unsure as well. Flying by the seat of your pants, going where the wind takes you, open for any experiences regardless of the consequences... cool, fun, exciting.... also makes for no roots, instability and no plan for the future."

Well hell, would ya have it any other way though? Not me! Hang in there. Your honesty is soooooo refreshing (been watching you on Big Brother).

WOW, please do not delete your blogs because they are so inspiring to others. Plus when you look back on them in the future, you'll see the growth that happens over time. Please continue to blog after Big Brother 8. I just finished watching BB8 where you won HOH and you and Dani are the final 2! I am so excited for both of you. Watching and seeing the emotional exchanges between you both made me cry. I love it when she said "I Love You" and it felt so sincere. I truly hope that this is a new beginning for you guys and you can re-unite even stronger when you get out of there. I feel your pain and you also give me hope. I'm also 44 (Go class of "81"!) and my 17yr old ran away in April and she is now wanting to marry her jerk of a boyfriend. She's blaming me for her unhappiness, since I left her and her dad when she was only 3. I got sober when she turned 12, but by then she really didn't want me around. Then she met this a**h@!e and really did not want me in her life. She does call, but the tension is always so thick, because I know she just wants something. I live in Michigan and I am getting real tired of our winters, so I'm considering getting out of here and it's a hard decision to make. I really have nothing to stay here for, but am I ready to leave my comfort zone. I long for a sense of belonging somewhere and to be part of a strong family. I was so selfish during my 30's and now I paying for it. Yet, I do not regret the past and I know I cannot change it.
I am also just venting and it feels good to get it out of my head and to share it with another person. I've been told that a problem shared is a problem cut in half. I know you are going to have a ton of people blogging to you, but if you ever get a chance to respond or need yet another person to chat with, I'm here! (I'm on disability due to several back surgeries, so I really do have too much time on my hand!!
One last thing, I am one of those Showtime viewers and will be until the last night! I either watch it live (from 12am to 3am here) or I tape it and watch it the first thing in the morning. I so glad that you are there until the end, because if you hadn't been there, I may not have been such a loyal viewer.
My best to you and Dani and I also hope that she tries to work on her relationship with Vincent. It's a sad feeling being estranged from those you love.
I'm your biggest fan from Michigan & I'm hoping you win, because I know you will take care of your kids first and then yourself.
Love,
Linda B.

Dick...I can feel your pain and I can say I have been there when my daughter treated me like dogshit..so it does help to vent..you have a wonderful gift for words..in more ways than one(since I have watched you on BB8 thru live feeds ,SHowtime After Dark and regular shows on CBS)..I love how you and Danielle smoked the game..I was on pins and needles watching you hang on to that key..I cried when I saw the pain you were going thru..I wanted to Bitch slap Zach every time he looked your way..I saw the part when Dani came over to tell you it was ok..I know it KILLED you to release that key but man, you were drained ..I could see it in your eyes..but what a hell of a ride you gave..not bad for a 44 year old smoker that does not work out on the treadmill..I figured you could handle the water because I thought I heard you talking about the waves being high and you should be out there surfing so I knew you had a endurance for the water..I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the great summer viewing of you and Danielle this summer rocked..I watched BB from season 1 till now and I have to say this one topped them all..you rocked the house and I do not think I have laughed as hard or cried as much this summer with watching you...I hope to see you on some show because I know you would be a hit...maybe even write a book because you have a talent that seems to flow from your thought to the keyboard..been a pleasure writing this and knowing you are so much fun and I appreciate your right in the face honesty..Vincent did a wonderful job of keeping up your blog and please do not delete anything....it is all you in your word..I wish you the best in everything because I know that the best is yet to come..Hugs to the "MAN"...]

I surely hope you DON'T delete these posts. In reading them, it lets me know that I'm not alone in how I'm feeling at almost 40 years old. Dick I've watched you (as much as possible) from day one on BB8, didn't have the live feeds but thank God did have showtime for After Dark - and can honestly say from what I've seen that you are one of the most genuine persons I've ever seen. All you went through in the house had to be SO fucking hard on you, I don't know if I'd have dealt...anyway you have a good head on your shoulders. Stand proud, keep doing what you're doing, and things'll turn around for ya. I'd be willing to bet it's gonna be a very different life for ya here soon when you get out of that house. You're gonna have your hands full with things to do! And you've got your gorgeous girl back (I think she'll grow out of that mouth - that's what I keep telling myself that about my 20-year old girl, lol). I don't have to tell you what a great kid Vincent is either. Soooo, you take good care of yourself, and know you have many fans out there that really look up to you and admire you. One day at a time, my man.

Thanks a million for the show - and allowing America to get to know Dick.

(And I agree with the previous poster - you're blogs are vintage, and very well-written. I'd sure keep 'em, and be proud of 'em.)

Dick, you are truly an admirable man. I applaud your unedited expressions of raw feeling, both positive and negative. You call it like you see it, which is the ONLY way to be in my book. Your fatherly love and pride in both Vincent and Danielle is abundantly clear and having the cojones to acknowledge your shortcomings adds to your authenticity. Perfection is over-rated as well as nonexistent anyways. You are so real it hurts and I adore you for it. You deserved to win BB for the simple reason that the money took a back seat to re-establishing your relationship with Danielle. Be well and enjoy the spoils of your victory!

Hey Dick, About your midlife crisis. Been there, Doing That!!!

Just hit 50 last week and in the Prime of my life, I'm a ex addict,
overweight, depressed, I'm on crutches (probably for life)thanks to a dr's screw up,
widowed after 27 yrs of marriage, 3 children grown and Wondering where did it all go?

I hope for another chance but now I'm left taking care of 2 ailing parents. I guess my "LIFE" wont' start until their gone. It sucks and I Envy you because You DO what you want and
you are Living your life, with friends and family around you .

The only people I see everyday is my parents. I've taken on the roll as caregiver and in doing so have given up my Life until the day they're gone. I just hope it won't be too late
or I'll be gone before they are.

I have alot of guilt for not spending more time with my kids & grandkids because my parents need me and I wish I could make more Time for ME but I dont' see that happening anytime soon. Anyway Just ranting here.. I'm NOT a head case, Just someone who had a Life once and turned 50 thinking I should be Living My Life to the Fullest but instead have to
sit and watch Others Living their lives while mine is on hold.

I think that's why I enjoyed watching you & your antics on BB8.. It gave me a chance to
LIVE vicariously thru you. Saying the things I've wanted to say to people but dont' for fear of
hurting their feelings. F THAT.. noone cares about My Feelings.. Guess its time to start looking out for 1 ..

Ahh the dream of doing that.. oh well.. I'll go back to the F'd up life and continue to care for
my parents and miss my life until the time comes when all I can do is go to Bingo or the casino with the rest of the Old farts.

Carpa Diem My friend..

You should never feel bad for how YOU feel inside. Life sucks sometimes, alot of times and I agree I am almost 40 and alot of what i read here I feel yet do not express, and its a bit different on the woman side. But never feel ashamed we all have to vent!

Hope your feeling better!
