Crazy, Insane, Disturbed, Unbalanced...

Each one of us claims to know someone who is crazy.  This blog isn't about someone who is clinically crazy, but rather about people whose own actions make them seem desperate and insane.  I have never in my life seen such disturbed actions by grown adults as I have since I moved to Italy.  I guess I was naive to the fact that there are people out in the world who only think of themselves an no one else.  These are the same type of people who put the blame on everyone but themselves, even when it is blatantly clear who is to blame.  Since moving here, and more so here recently, I have seen this craziness up close and personal.  You see, there is a person out there who continues to bully my friends and I.  I mean they have attacked each one of us personally, and professionally.  To seriously go after someone's job for no other reason than the fact that you don't like who a person is friends with definitely shows that you are not all there in the head.  And the funny thing is, all this is done behind the safety of their own computer.  It's never face to face...probably too intimidated to do anything like that.  They claim that they are the one being picked on, written about, whispered about, spreading lies about, etc...you get the idea.  It couldn't be more wrong.  Said person has done each and everyone of these things to either myself or my friends but to a much greater extent.  I don't even know this person...I have met them once, and they decided that I am not worth knowing b/c of who my friends were.  That right there shows what kind of character you have.  Now why am I writing a blog about it?  Well, it has been going on for far too long, and I just can't keep my mouth shut about it anymore.  You attack my friends and I, then you get exactly what's coming to you...and karma is a bitch!  Now the reason I can't name the said person is because they stalk all of our social sites, and when they find anything that has their name on it, they report it somehow...calling the cops, calling the person's place of work, or making up fake profiles to bully others.  I am not exaggerating people, anyone who would go through so much work just to stalk a person is definitely crazy in my book.  They also write blogs and post pics from others websites that are private.  As soon as this comes to light to others though, it is brought down all of a sudden.  If you are going to talk shit about everyone, have the balls to back it up.  All I see is a crazy person with no back bone who seems so desperate to be talked about.  So in that sense, here's to you!



I leave you with this thought:

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.....

Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have

I am now planning for our move back to the states since it seems that is where we are headed.  I was pretty upset about it at first, but now I am remembering that I get to have a house w/ real closets, and I can go to Hobby Lobby to get decorations and such..lol  I am totally stoked about finding a new house wherever we end up and decorating it!

Who would I want to switch lives with??  I am gonna take after Doris on this one.  I want to switch lives w/ someone rich.  Be able to go shopping without having to look for discounts...lol  I am a bargain shopper, so I'm not sure how well that would work out, but I would definitely give it a try!!

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

I am actually going to leave this one blank b/c there may be some hurtful things said, and I don't want this to be a negative blog.  There are a few people out there who know how I feel (or atleast I hope they do) about certain situations that went down over the past year or so.  It's not just one person, so this isn't calling a single person out.  It has to do with a few people, and I don't want to call them out.  I will leave it at that.  I think I will make a private blog though and write a letter to those who have hurt me recently...might make me feel better...lol
