Friends, Some of you may remember by ex-girlfriend Sarah. I recently
recieved a letter from her. I would appreciate it if you would take the
time to read it and review my response. I hope all of you are well.
May 23, 2005
Dear Davey:
I have had a difficult time, over the past few years, achieving closure of
our relationship. It is time for me to seek this. I have gone through the
appropriate stages of anger, remorse, sadness. It is now time for me to
close this chapter of my life. I am trying to recapture my life and gain a
sense of identity back. In my professional life I have done this, but my
personal life struggles. For so long I/We were "Sarah and Davey", that it
is
hard to gain my own identity back. I am not worried about my career; I
will
soon succeed even my wildest dreams. I am just stunted by my personal
life.
I am ready to release you from my life. I also on a weekly basis encounter
people who want to tell me about you or have a discussion about you. I do
not want to deal with this anymore. I do have a proposal on how to handle
this.
I am ready to no longer be forced to deal with your presence. As to how to
deal with it, I propose the following:
1. I've heard you have an apartment on the West side. You need to move out
of the West side of Indianapolis, this has always been my side of town, I
own a house here, and do not rent like you. I grew up here, and always
want
to live here. I would prefer if you were to leave Indianapolis all
together, but I know this is more than I can ask.I do not want to risk
running into you at any store.
2. We should officially divide our friends. Particularly Jim, Jillian,
Amy,
and Ed. You should write them, thanking them for the opportunity to be
their friend and explain why you can no longer be in contact with them. I
can provide you with addresses, if you need.
3. I will stay out of Republican politics. I promise not to get involved
with any Republican politics, unless my father runs for judge, and than I
reserve the right to work on his campaign.
4. I would like you to not have anything to do with all things Cathedral.
I
feel I should have ownership of the school since my mother works there and
my brother and sisters went there. You are more tied to Wabash. This
should be where you dedicate your alumni status. I will be involved in
Cathedral. When the time of reunions comes up, I am willing to say that
you
can have the reunions ending in "0"
years and I will take the"5" years. So you can have 10 years and I will
take 25 years.
5. I will avoid Wabash contacts. The few guys from the house I still speak
to on a rare basis, I will not. I will also discourage any male offspring
I
have from attending Wabash.
I know some of these things seem a bit harsh, but I feel they are for the
best. I do not ever really wish to see you again. I know that this will of
course happen beyond my control, but I think we should do our best to
avoid
what we can.
It is my sincere hope that you understand, and do take the time to
respond.
This is my last request of you.
With fondness,
Sarah

Dear Sarah,
Thanks for your letter. We broke up 3 years ago. Knowing that and taking
into consideration you believe me to be a cold, career focused,
ego-maniac,
what on earth makes you think I would take the time to think about you or
agree to your proposal? But since I clearly have taken the time to respond,
please take a moment to review some comments and counterproposals I have
crafted.
1. First, I will have to resist the burning urge to move RIGHT NEXT DOOR
TO
YOU. After that deep desire subsides, I will vacate the Westside and
return
to my roots: The Snooty Northside, as you used to call it. However, since
I
was born on the Northside and I have Northside in my veins you must
abdicate all ties to the North. This
includes: Living on the Northside, living on the Northeastside, walking
down North Street, being a fan of the Dallas Stars (formerly the
Minnesota North Stars), wearing North Face apparel or telling your
children
that Santa lives at the North Pole.
1 (B). I was born in Indianapolis before you were so I should really get
to
determine who stays and who goes. In my benevolence I will let you exist
here only within the St. Michael's Parish boundary (MLK Dr. to High School
Rd. and 56th Street to 10th St.) We will call this the SarahZone. This
should be acceptable for you as your family lives across the street and
there is a gas station, grocery, convenience store, your place of
employment
and a fire station. Exceptions can be made with my expressed
written consent. You will be required to display a large tag in your
windshield giving you permission to travel beyond the SarahZone.
2. I haven't talked to your friends since we broke up. I think they got
the
message. However since we apparently are still in fourth grade, please
have
your friends meet me by the playground at recess so that I can tell them
they have big fat heads and they aren't my friends anymore.
Do you agree? _______Yes ________No________Maybe
2 (B). One of the few times you let us do something fun, we visited some
of
my family friends on Geist. It was about eight years ago.
We enjoyed their boat and home for several hours during a pre-500 party.
Please jot them a note saying you are going to forget that ever happened.
Please also offer to reimburse them for the boat gas, pool chlorine, air
conditioning Freon, Dr. Pepper and anything else you consumed while you
were there. I don't have their address anymore, you can look it up.
3. Please let me know when your father runs for anything.
I'm going to run against him.
3 (B). Thanks for staying out of Republican politics. Your heavyweight
presence in the party will be sorely missed. I am very involved in ice
hockey. I play recreationally and coach a youth team in the winter. I
would
prefer it if you could stop being involved in all things related to ice
and
ice hockey . You can use those instant first aid coldpaks to cool your
drinks from now on. Also, my parents have been very involved with the
Indianapolis 500 Festival for nearly 20 years. The month of May is really
a
big month for us. While I am not able to honor your request of moving out
of Indianapolis, I would ask that you just leave town during May.
With 250,000 fans going to the race and 35,000 runners in the
Mini-Marathon, I don't want to run the risk of bumping into you. I know
your birthday is in May, but man, I just don't care.
4. Christ, I don't have the energy for this one.
5. If any of my friends from Wabash actually still talk to you, they are
f__king fired as friends.
5 (B). I'm not going to tell my kids anything about you. But speaking of
kids, it would be okay with me if my son was a crack addict, just as long
as
he got your kids hooked on it and became their dealer.
In closing, I will never make decisions about my life or my family based
on
whether I might run into you at the store. I am now convinced that if we
ever do bump into each other, you will spontaneously combust. I wish you
the best of luck find a spouse. Seriously. It won't be easy to find a
person who is willing to spend the rest of his life raising children and
making decisions based on your crazy-ass proposal to an ex-boyfriend and
your inability to act
like a rational human being.
All my best,
Davey
