This particular friend has had bad luck with them ever since he got jumped by a gang of them when he went to Brownsville, TX... I believe there's more to the story than them jumping him "for craps and giggles" like he says they did.

I agree with Don Henley when he sang

"There are three sides to every story, baby
Yours and mine and the cold hard truth"

I hear stuff like this from my sister and her husband all the time. It's always someone else trying to cheat them, rob them, or "just do us wrong". They never, ever see themselves as being part of the problem.

That's the way this guy is. Blaming others for his mistakes. It's my aunt's theory that he hates himself is why he lashes out at others. And that he needs to learn to love himself before he can love others. Freaky part? The horoscope for him from a recent TV Guide had that VERY EXACT SAME THING! Only a few days to a week (at the most) after she said it....

I think this one of modern society's greatest problems; people don't take ownership for their own mistakes and shortfalls. It's always "someone else's fault".

Don't know what his reaction would be.... besides a "huh?".

But then he's finally getting over the 4th weekend... the heat on Sat *really* got to him something fierce!

I have no doubt.

You don't like Mexicans?

Its not that. its that he doesn't like loud accordian music.

More like his inability to "grow up and take responsibility for one's own actions" moreso than modern society.

No doubt. Sometimes your inner child should be allowed to grow up.

I have no doubt.

Especially when it's nearly killed him (his own words) 3 times. He says he's had heat exhaustion AND heat stroke. Hence why he's more sensitive to the heat (and humidity) than most of us are. And it jack-slapped him right when he walked out the door Sat afternoon and he felt nauseated on the ride down to my sis's house. And then refused, when he admitted he felt like crap, to go inside to the AC. Or to sit down.... it was about a half-hour(!) later that he *finally* went inside, and worried the heck out of my sis and some of her friends.... :\ He finally started to recover once he'd gotten inside out of the heat, but his back and knees had stiffened up badly and afterwards, we had to wander around Walmart for him to "loosen up" (after dropping Mom off at home as she didn't want to wander Walmart).

There's nothing wrong with being childlike in SOME instances. But not in a case like this!

 

[Angel Tarragon]

That certainly is awkward. Why would someone of that nature refuse to be more comfortable?! :\
