Dave...

First off, I'd like to talk a lil shit for minute if you'd indulge me. See there was an incident where a good for nuthin' piece of garbage' put his hands on my June and spit on her and even in her car. For me, 'nuff said. I'd have whooped his ass all up and down the damn street if I was there. Lucky for him I wasn't. I was stuck at work and didn't hear about it til he was long gone.


To Dave :


You know who you are you dirty, rotten, motherfucker. You ain't nuthin' but a punk ass piece of gutter trash. I better not run into you ever again. You know you done wrong and I ain't one to forget it. I'd advise you to stay outta my neck of the woods. You put your hands on my girlfriend ever again...let's just say it's better that you don't. So, fuck you and stay away from me and mine.



Sorry 'bout the cussin' folks but I'd say he earned that to say the least.


I got me a good woman and I wouldn't be worthy of her if I didn't feel that way. Lil Davey ain't worthy of much. There are so many problems in the world caused by sorry lil boys who never grow up and never get their life together.



I heard Dave's story, I know he's had a rough time. I know a lil bit about the bad things he's done in his life to deal with 'em. I understand that. We both been screwed over by people we thought we loved. We both got almost nuthin' goin' for us.



Where Dave falls short is apparently in his will. I'm one tough bastard to keep down. As screwed over as I've been as angry and crazy as it's made me I never resorted to drugs or any other escape. I was fortunate enough to find my way out of the situation and I work everyday to make myself and my situation a lil bit better.



Dave chose drugs and alcohol which while I understand it as self-medication, sometimes you gotta put down the bottle and pills and pick yourself up off the ground. All the drugs in the world won't make your life any better. In fact you wind up spiralin' down til you hit that rock bottom. A lotta people find death before they find the bottom of their pit.



Dave chose to be an asshole. I'll forgive his addictions. I'll forgive his lack of a chin. I'll forgive all the things I don't like about his personality or his clothes or his personal hygiene. What I won't forgive is a lack of manners. I won't forgive a lack of respect.



I might've forgiven it if it were against me. I won't forgive it against my friends. You're screwed if you think I'll forgive it against my girlfriend.



My darlin'. My princess. I love her God damn it. And you spit on her. I hold all women in the high regard. She is the pinnacle of that. She is as good as a woman can get to me. I love her brown eyes. I love her smile. I love our conversations. She's brilliant. She's stronger than she gives herself credit for. She is the woman I show my insecurities to. She shows me hers in turn. She's the one I dream with. She's the one I can count on. She's the one I find the most beautiful. She ain't perfect but she's perfect for me. She's the one.



No one spits on my girlfriend. No one pushes her. No one gets in her face. No one threatens her. No one embarrasses her family in front of the neighbors. Not Dave, not the Queen of England, not God, not Kurt Vonnegut. Nobody does it.



You'd be lucky to be welcomed in that house. You better be thankful these girls are willin' to be your friend. They made us breakfast that mornin'. They gave you a place to sleep. And you spit on that.

How disrespectful are you to do sumthin' like that? No class. No manners. What if somebody'd done that to your mother? Or your sister? Are your actions sumthin' they could be proud of? I wouldn't be. I hope you aren't.



Anybody can think what they want about my girlfriend but no one ever better disrespect her. I respect that everyone has their opinions and they don't have to agree with me. Any man worth half a damn already disagrees with me. No sense in bein' with a girl you don't think is your pinnacle.



No one spits on anyone else. No one puts their hands on a woman in a violent manner if I'm around. Doesn't even have to be my woman. I see you do it, bub, your ass is goin' down.

I hope you grow outta this asshole phase your goin' through Dave. I hope you get your shit together and learn how to act like a man. Then maybe you'll be worthy of a good woman. A good woman like the one I got.

It's easy enough. Just think about what you're doin' and make the best decision you can. Apologize for bein' dumb or makin' mistakes. Own up to your faults and do what you can to be better than you are. Then you are a real man.

Then you can say "I'm from Dallas!" and Dallas will actually be proud of you for it.
