Wow do we really need to know every nasty detail of his soap opera love life on a public forum??!
This is really just getting uglier and uglier as the days go by. He's MAKING it that way. Does he realize that he CREATES his own monsters?? Doesn't he know how to DIFFUSE a situation??
Why does he seem to want to keep the drama going? Is it really the "attention whore" thing? Or is it a sickness of some kind, to always be drowning in drama? Can't he just be a musician on a stage, keeping his personal life personal? I mean, showing everybody on Facebook a court document is one thing to prove that the story of being a deadbeat dad is untrue, and that's fine if you feel you need to. But to have it splashed all over CELEBTV?! Really?? With a tacky video of him and his new woman (Michaela) hamming it up for the cameras??
Wow.
I saw the other day on Facebook, from the Journey page, that their drummer, Deen Castronovo, just proposed to his girlfriend Deidre, also. I wonder if she's the girlfriend he beat up and landed in jail for? Or, if not, does she even know about that? It IS public record after all. Someone commented about that, actually, warning her that he's an angry man and she should be aware of his arrest for beating a woman. Maybe she's delusional and thinks, "He'd NEVER do that to ME." or, "I'll change him."
That's the biggest flaw women have, in my opinion, thinking men will "change" for them in some way. They never do, ya know? The man has to be the one to WANT to change. You cannot talk him into it, you cannot coerce him into it, and you certainly cannot give an ultimatum about it. If he WANTS to, he will. But most men don't want to. They don't see it as a "problem" that needs "fixing."
I told Pete, before we dated, that I wouldn't even BOTHER to try and change anything about him, but if he makes me unhappy or treats me like crap, I'm walking out the door and will never come back. So anything he does that makes me feel like I'm being mistreated or unhappy, (which happened a couple times when we first started dating and got engaged), I tell him about, and then I just sit back and watch if he changes that behavior or not. I don't ASK him to. If he doesn't seem to get it, and I see it happening again, I just walk away, refusing to argue or talk about it, telling him I may have to start packing. Miraculously, thus far, he's actually made some positive changes along the way, and I've told him that I've noticed those changes, and that I appreciate them very much.
And so far, I haven't been unhappy, or mistreated, in 5 years since we got married. We've had a few arguments, but nothing earth-shattering, and nothing we can't talk about to resolve. He's good to me, and that's all that matters. We have VERY good communication, and I do feel lucky to have a man who is open-minded like that, and CAN change and listen to constructive criticism without bristling or getting angry. His driving still gets me riled up sometimes, but he's toned it down quite a bit and only goes 20 miles over the speed limit, rather than 40 or 50 like he used to. Scares the crap outta me though. He changed his driving habits when he saw that I was crying with my eyes closed, grabbing hold of the handle on the door......he still has some work to do on that one, but it's getting better.
It's just sad to watch the chick cling to that false belief, ya know, like she's got some power to make him see the error of his ways, and can "change" him somehow. It's bullshit. He'll probably hit her at some point, most likely during an argument, but she'll probably make excuses for it and let it go, like most abused women with no self-esteem do. Kinda sad and scary to watch the drama of THAT farce of a marriage unfold too. I hope I'm wrong about him, I hope it was just a one-time mistake that won't happen again, he did get punished for it, but ya just never know. I do hope they will be happy.
But, ICK. That's all I can say about it. Just plain ICK. Sure, they're human, and shit happens, I know that. But come on, it doesn't HAVE to happen in public, unless these men WANT IT TO. And that's another thing these women will never change about them. I wonder if Deidre is ready for all that?? Michaela seems to be all over it like stink on shit, so I'm not worried (nor do I care much) for her.
However, Michaela is also delusional, if she thinks Neal won't cheat on her like he's done with every other woman in his life. If he's done it all his life, he'll keep doing it, and there's nothing she can do about it. She left her husband for him, to gain more fame and fortune I think, but when she becomes boring to him, he'll find another flavor of the month, and she'll be kicked to the curb like all the others.
I kinda want to take these women aside, and slam their heads together, and tell them to wake up. But, hey, nobody warned ME about the losers that I dated before I got hitched. So, screw 'em.
Journey needs to just retire and be done with it. The personal shit going on just makes them look like a bunch of tired old geezers who don't seem too happy with the musical success they still have, or maybe they're BORED with it, so they want to stir the turd awhile in other, more personal ways, and make more (negative?) PR for themselves. It is sickening. Is that how the music biz really is???
Ah well, I know you are a man who rises above all that. I applaud you for it, too, because that is not an easy thing to accomplish when everyone else around you is doing it. I mean, you had your day with the "Oh Sherrie" breakup, sure, and rumors of alcoholism and drug use, but that's when you were all at your musical peak, and you were much younger, which was a long time ago. Now you're just a cool more mature guy, out doing whatever he enjoys doing while "retired." Nothing negative has come of your personal life, that I can remember, in a very long time. Thank you for that. Maybe you should send Neal the business card of whomever protects YOUR privacy, and tell him to use it.
Well, I am off to pay a couple of bills and do a little grocery shopping. Have a great weekend my friend, and I love you.
