Lost my cat and a friend with 48 hours, wondering if I could've saved them.

Posted by VicariousE - June 13th, 2023

My friend had just gotten back from Florida, saw him Friday, expected to see him at work on Sunday, but he had left just before I got there. We knew each other for about 6 months.


My outside cat (who also squats with me) expected me back Monday, but I stayed at the the hotel another day to avoid the rain, which has a nasty tendency of dripping onto my squalid bedding and making noise while I'm trying to sleep. She ran away from the pride/outside cats soon after I had her fixed, but somehow showed up 4 years after that. I've known her since she was born.


I feel that if I had gotten to see Tom before he left early, I could've pulled him away from waiting tables and helping in the kitchen, called an ambulance for him. Same with my poor cat, who has tried to be my friend through some difficult shit, which also made her life difficult, especially the 'pandemic', when I only rice to feed her in the latter half of 2020.

After COVID scam, we thought "Well, can't get worse?", but it did, because the whole situation was engineered that way: domino effect of a common social shock, reinforced by: laws, the corporate run media, but most especially, the asshole who thought up this scam to consolidate their power even further.


If you live in a major city, get out and make friends elsewhere (like I should've done straight away).

I'm sorry to hear that man.

VicariousE

Thank you, it's turning into one of those weeks with many red letter dates.

Hope you're well old bean, wish I wasn't so busy staying sane, I'm sure I've missed more than a few years of your writings and art :(

Peepers

Terrible news. My condolences.

VicariousE

Thank you. If this happened a few years ago, I would've had time with my blogging friends... before Chat, those of us who were adverse to the BBS, used to use blog pages like instant messaging. Still think I could've been more perceptive and accommodating

deadspread83

I wandered away from Newgrounds for a while. It's good to see you're still around. If you need a receptive ear, shoot me a line.

VicariousE

Most kind fellow creator. This place and its peoples have been damn kind to us.

Ever been to a Pico Day in north Philly/NG HQ? I have, and, can sadly understand why Tom stopped when he did... 'the powers that be' sure have 'had an effect on the landscape' to quote and old Western writer..... damned Penicorn thieves >:(

deadspread83

I went back in (2011) I think. I'm not much of a party person myself, but it was nice to meet some of the guys. Tom, Mindchamber and Johnny in particular were super friendly. That was back when Bob was there, but if memory serves me he was on vacation. It all kind of blurs together now.

VicariousE

Ah so you got to the pride/pack before I did.... talk about a blessed trip :) Man, Jose decent mofo... don't ask about the furry in the lift eh? Which Johnny, guessing Utah/Jeff? Bet he had a Jeep or Chrysler in the front parking spot

TheDyingSun

*offers hug*

VicariousE

*bro hug* and my thanks, and well wishes to you and your kin/circle/beloved(s)

my ma used to say "God has a plan (program)", hoping to help the long-game somehow

S3C

My condolences...how did the cat and your friend die?
Also working the kitchen gig now?

VicariousE

The last cat of my ancestral home had breathing issues last I saw her. Tom had cardiovascular issues related from a nasty ass car accident, and was likely stitched up incorrectly... still don't know what happened to either of em for sure. I do dislike being a target of tryhards while I'm trying to live out my own life, hence the ambiguity

Ah nah, the pizza gig was pandemic, working at a liquor store cleaning, stocking. Bud Light and Budweiser going stale for some reason hehehe. Struggling to keep IPAs fresh on the shelf, not an unhappy prospect

VicariousE

@s3c per local usual, off book n well below min wage

So (as a spiritual course) wanted to prep foods, another prepandemic story... 'stand for life' and all of that

Cat MIA (old outside fixed female) (ash from CAN rly bad). Human friend , likely died of bad arterial stitching due 2 3 month coma, ejected from car in hi speed car fracas... will attend to family soon

an thx knut-o, I do think of your well being as well. life a wilderness w.out friendos

deadspread83

@VicariousE
Haha, yeah, Jeff. So funny, I forget his name is Jeff, not Johnny. Internet acquaintance is strange.

VicariousE

Lol thought I was a sour puss, JohnnyUtah may be stolid, but oh so skilled. Wonder how his Jeep's doing, some issues w/ water pump, head gasket... have a few interweb buddies with old Chryslers

Only time I heard him (Jeff) laugh: apparently Shadman doesn't have a sister... well, leave it to an eccentric to fool an autistic eccentric (me), politely. Was talking to Tom about a previous Pico Day party while Jeff was doing some arting around at the NG HQ

S3C

stolid? Thanks for the vocab update m8!

VicariousE

pffft, u fart feller... no u smart feller :3 nice to know a few words to shine on the exec class eh

hope all's well, ya old bugger

SapphireLight

when it rains it pours. that sucks, my sympathy

VicariousE

Thank you, also had some other shit happen... Thinking it has to do with my pre-NG days, my anti-tryhard nature and a county-wide meeting of a certain ethnic set, done quarterly.

And woo, shit, you ain't wrong! In a space of 2 weeks, lost a ton of shit that makes me a 'person' in the Orwellian sense

Too true about the rich get richer while everyone else gets poorer. People are losing jobs or taking pay cuts, and meanwhile CEO and other C-level execs keep getting exponential raises. The 1%ers really are the problem. It's no question where all that money is going. And it seems to just keep getting worse. There really are a lot of scumbags among the wealthy elites, and they only want to exploit people. They'd still do slavery if they thought they could get away with it. Also, can we have a non-rich President for once? The President is supposed to represent the people, but how can a President represent the people when he (or she) was practically born rich or at least massively better off than the average Americans? They don't even know what it's like for most people. We need a President who is of the people, not of some elite class that's not at all representative. I'd actually be okay if it was someone who went rags to riches, thus having the full experience, but we don't even have that. And of course the major corporations will be in bed with the government to get the government to pass laws that favor the corporations and not the people of America, despite supposedly being a government of, by, and for the people. And unfortunately so many people just do not care or have vested interests.

VicariousE

First off thank you for commentating, honored medal-seeker.

You speak the truth and I say thank you. I recall a comment from Saudi Arabia? saying, the American government was a corporation, and the CEO was the President of the United States. As such, the CEO was bound by the usual rules:earn profit or GTFO.

I am not qualified or prescient enough to say what system of governance will do justice to America. But you are right in your assessment: corporation holders have too much influence on human affairs.

Sorry for late response, knew I was cursed last century, only had no idea about how intricate the conflict would go....
