almost there

I've been reading divorce blogs lately, and I have looked at the infamous divorcee clip on YouTube. People get crazy, both from the events that lead up to divorce, and from the legal process that follows those events. One blog, featured in an article about blogging and free speech in The New York Times, reminds me of how Lenny Bruce used to read legal injunctions against him onstage. I feel for these people. I have been that angry, and that crazy.

I think my divorce will be finished soon. I want to write about it, but I don't want to be pathetic, or worse, boring. I don't want this to be a revege blog, although I realize that simply writing the stuff that happened might be viewed as seeking revenge. Writing is my way of processing and working through emotion.

If I wrote a revenge blog, it would be about the guy who painted my apartment four years ago. He charged me $4300 and did a terrible job. His crew got paint on everything. They didn't use that blue tape, and they got paint drips on everything in my house--appliances, wood cabinets. . . They destroyed carpets and wood floors. It still bothers me, every single day.

Don't hire Pete Mascio to paint your house.
