"Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand? Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand? I'm going down to shoot my old lady. You know, I caught her messin' round with another man."
Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe
It had been a few weeks since I talked with Roxy. She was pissed at me for a few things uncle Ned said about her. Anyways, I figured everything had blown over by this point, so I decided to give her a call yesterday. "Jethro, goddammit - now is not a good time." Before she could go much further I immediately apologized for the disparaging remarks uncle Ned had made. She tells me this, "Jethro, I am not mad about that. It's just that Jeff and I are working things out and he doesn't want me communicating with you anymore. I need you to respect my wishes." When you love someone, even if they don't love you back, you have a duty to do all you can to protect them. "Roxy, please, this guy is no good. Why can't you lose this bastard and find someone better?" I tell her with a sense of urgency in my tone.
After my statement, I hear a voice in the background say, "Rox, are you talking with that dip shit again? I thought you had gotten rid of him. Give me the fucking phone! I want to talk with him!" She tells me this right before Jeff grabs the phone - "Jethro, you need to move on. The two of us are through!" - I am 99% sure she is correct, but there's always that 1%. "Jethro, that's your fucking name, Right?" Jeff, her boyfriend, was now on the phone and things were about to get awkward. "Only my friends are allowed to call me Jethro, and you ain't a friend. So call me Rob." I tell him in a disturbed tone. I don't like this guy and he don't like me. "OK Rob," he replies, "I want you to listen to me. Roxy and I are together now! Whatever brief history you had with her is over. Do you understand that?"
The two of us were now having a very candid talk. I felt it imperative he understand my thoughts. "Why Roxy is with you is beyond me. You don't love her. She is just another piece of property to you. One of these days she is finally going to wise up and realize that. And I swear if you hurt her!" I didn't want to sound too crazy - Maybe they do deserve each other? Anyways, the prick said something to me right before he hung up that totally sums things up for me nowadays - "Jethro or Rob or whatever the fuck your name is. You know what I am going to do right after I hang the phone up? Let me tell you. I am going to take Roxy and throw her on our bed. After that I am going to rip all of her clothes off and fuck her ten ways from Tuesday. If that isn't a clear enough signal for you to get lost, man, you are just a plain fucking moron."
