Sunny in San Diego

I told you I’d have pictures and a story…
If you are a friend of mine on facebook, then you’ve seen this pictures already…at least if you looked at them. If you’re not a friend on FB or didn’t look at them yet, then check them out, come back and read the Walk of an insane man (from Oceanside, CA to La Jolla, CA – 31+ miles later).

Oceanside to La Jolla Walk..

So where do I start? Well that’s simple what idiotic person would actually think about walking from Oceanside, CA to Pacific Beach(PB) ? That’s over 30 miles in walking and knowing how I roll and my ‘shortcuts’, that’s closer to 40 miles. No sane person would willingly do this. In fact, some people might have refused to do this if they had a gun held to their head or were offered $10K. But I guess I (PJAM3, PJAM, Peter J Jamack III, PJ3, Pistol Pete, Pete da killa, Bloody Pete, Peter J, Petey Pete, Peter, Pete, whatever name you want to call me) isn’t sane. More like insane considering after the long insane walk I went horseback riding the next day. Yes I must be insane. How do I put up with myself?

I changed plans early on in the day because it seems the Coaster train that goes from Downtown San Diego up to Oceanside, CA and back only runs out of Oceanside till 630pm on Saturdays. I was not going to make it up to Oceanside from PB by 630pm. So I needed to figure out another option to complete my trek. And not starting my trek was definitely NOT in my vocabulary at that time. What did I do you might ask? Well stay tuned…Just kidding.

I figured I could park downtown and take the Coaster up to Oceanside early in the morning. $6.50 for a one way ticket was pretty good. But go figure early meant the earliest train out of San Diego was 945am and wouldn’t arrive into Oceanside until like 1040am. Great, I was going to start my journey close to lunch time. No worries though.

The ride on the Coaster was magnificent. It was relatively empty and I sat up on the second deck. Great views, relaxing(even though the seats were not that comfortable), but nothing can be that perfect can it. There was some little kid about 9 or 10. He was a bit on the chubby side and he decided to run back and forth the entire time. And running back and forth wasn’t just enough but he had to scream, shout, holler, plus run back and forth and bang each seat. He never touched my seat but his behavior was annoying as hell. Add to the fact his fat father seemed to just sit and chuckle at all this and you have on big fat family I guess. It sure didn’t look like this kid ran much. More like ate too much. I will stop now. It was annoying is all I’ll say and I’m sure the other passengers on the trip felt the same as I did. At least they didn’t go all the way to Oceanside. They got off around Carlsbad. Anyway…

So I get off in Oceanside and it’s raining. Some older couple got off the train with me and their family laughed and said, “Welcome to the great Southern California weather.” It was kind of funny as there was nothing but overcast skies and some drops of rain. Not what you’d expect I guess. It was a bit on the chilly side too and I wasn’t too smart in my attire choices. I wore a muscle workout shirt with no sleeves and shorts. I did wear plenty of sunscreen lotion this time but like I would need it much.

To be continued…..

A lot of people push the no contact (NC) theory after a break up. And it really doesn’t matter if it’s a divorce or a boyfriend/girlfriend break up. However I don’t normally buy into most of these theories people push. A lot of these conversational pieces just seem like topics pushed by people hiding behind a desk who never lived. Or even funnier is when certain people push advice about what works and doesn’t work in relationship. Then you find out they’ve been divorced 2 times or never dated. Or better yet is somebody who writes a book on how to raise a kid when they never had any kids, were an only child and didn’t grow up with a ton of aunts, uncles and cousins. Makes no sense to me.

I will admit at this point the only advice I really can give is how relationships don’t work out or the tell tale signs of cheaters and liars and so on. As far as telling somebody what works and doesn’t work, well how the hell would I know? The only thing I really know is how it didn’t work out. But as stated the lemmings fall for all the ‘hero’s’ who really are just out for a buck and don’t have a damn clue what they are talking about. Then again there are those who steal from this book, borrow some common sense, package it all together and suddenly the idiotic lemmings fall all over these idiots like they actually know everything about love and dating and this and that. I’ve come to realize most people are stupid. Stupid lemmings who will follow whatever the hell anybody pushes. One big con game really.

Which brings me back to the conversation I had tonight. Well not really a conversation but a text message chat session on my phone. It seems the ex might get married in the near future to some random military guy she met a month ago. It also seems they are planning on having children and settling down and raising a family. I have no clue why this was brought up but it led to questions about my life and my future yada yada yada whatever is how that conversation went. How the hell did I wind up communicating about that I have no clue. None of that bothers me. I wish her well and wish her the best. Why the hell she’d want to get married to some dude she just met is beyond me. Who knows maybe she’s loving living in Texas now, who knows and who cares.

All I know is maybe I should have listened to the no contact rule. Like I’ve told numerous people who don’t seem to comprehend or just don’t believe me for whatever reason, I have no desire to ever get married again. I have no desire to have kids. I have no desire to even date somebody for more than a week or two. And in all honesty as of now I really don’t even want to date anybody. Yet the ex kept probing me about meeting the right person, continuing on the tradition of my name, yada yada blah blah this and that as it goes. I have no clue why this was a conversation and no clue why she really contacted me as we don’t really chat or talk anymore unless she needs something or wonders about something. And that’s not that often anymore, which is a good thing I think. But it is what it is I guess and you go with the flow.

Great she’s found a new love after all the random people she seemed to find after the one dude up in La Jolla turned out to be the wrong guy for her. I have no clue what the hell is going through her mind. Maybe she just wants to throw stuff in my face, I don’t know. Just a few weeks ago she was asking me for money and she got mad because I told her ‘isn’t her new boyfriend supposed to help her out with that’. Hey maybe he did and now they are moving toward greener pastures, who knows and who cares. Or maybe she really wonders how I’m doing in the road of life, I don’t know. It’s just odd conversational pieces that’s for sure.
