One way I think it might work
So the other day, he's coming up on an intersection.
I could see this one comein'. This one was really common back in February, March, and April. He's really hung up on this woman. He doesn't seem to be able to stop looking into oncoming traffic for her car. It's like he gets some kind of charge out of just seeing her car. That whole infactuation thing really screws them up. Sometimes I think the space suit causes way more problems than most of the naturally occurring situations that develop there.
Anyway, he's coming up on the intersection, the light is turning yellow and he is looking into oncoming traffic About three seconds prior to entering the intersection it becomes apparent to us that he's just gonna go right through it without a thought. Oh shit!, we gotta scramble on this one. We get on the horn, pronto, with people in charge of the guy in the blue volkswagen who seems to be trying to select a song on his i-pod. It takes a bit but we finally locate and call that crew and notify them of the situation. They said that they saw what was happening but were grateful that we gave 'em a jingle anyway. They were able to finness the situation just enough that allowed him (our guy) to get through the intersection unscathed. Of course, he looks up at the red light about 5 nanoseconds before he is under it. Now he's gotta deal with all the shame and guilt. Once again it is the goddamn protective space suit that seems to screw him over.

Orientation
He said that before he put on his suit and came through the portal, they had warned him about all of this. Just like all the others it didn't seem to matter to him. He went ahead and did it anyway! We just stood there shaking our heads in disbelief and watched him as he stepped into the womb.
The next thing he knows is, well, nothing. That's always what happens. He doesn't remember any of the decisions he's made about taking the adventure, the journey, the trip, I mean what ever the fuck you want to call it. He remembers nothing about it. Now we see him, just like all the others, trying to figure it all out. He no longer even knows that we exist. It is really amazing that "our existence" seems to be a hot debate that has lasted for quite some time. People die and endure a lot of pain over this debat. Man, I don't know why anyone would do it.
We've tried to protect him but there is only so much we can do. We have no control over what he does or thinks. We try to set things up for his benefit, the next thing ya know he's doing the unexpected. We have to scramble get in touch with the others make sure there are no collisions, make sure things are set up for the "awarenesses" to take place and then hope for the best.
He does seem to be doing better these days.

It's been a while
Since I last checked in, huh? I feel like journalling today. I wish I felt like it more often. I mean, I had plenty to journal about.
I just spent the last two weeks immersed in AA meetings and retreats. Those 12 golden steps! you gotta love 'em. I say this somewhat sarcastically and yet with some reverence. I think the steps can be taken way to seriously and not seriously enough.
One of the things I realized after the retreat and after thursday when I talked with my wife is - okay, ex-wife, is that I am still looking to her to rescue me. She is working a very good program and she is not. And this pisses me off. I told her this last thursday. I have shared this at every meeting I have gone to. I think the people there are getting sick of it. But I only share this thing for one week.
