life’s too short

One of my personal Rules To Live By was proven twice over today. At the time I was more depressed than anything, but once you let perspective kick in you feel like you’re bursting through the surface of the ocean that’s held you down.

“Life’s too short to dance with the ugly ones.”

The first was having to boot a jackass off the blog. I let him hang on for as long as I could stand, but he just brought nothing to the joint. Bbye. You won’t be missed.

The second. Well, maybe it will be enough to say this: Just because I empathize, just because I can relate, and therefore it’s easier for me to forgive… that still doesn’t make it right, you know?

That one is a bit of a nuke. I know that several people will think I’m talking about them. That’s for you to work out with your own conscience. The one this is directed at will also feel targeted, and that’s acceptable collateral damage for me, just this once. My various IM programs are scrubbed. So are my links. Even my Favorites. Hell, even my phone numbers.

Harsh? Not really. Find me someone with a longer, more forgiving fuse. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses.
