I had a little trouble absorbing your words as I'm smoking weed
right now. Either that or I'm just a selfish person who spends more
time reading his own words than those of others.

I wasn't trying to put you on the defensive (well, ok, maybe, in a
way), just more or less having a little laugh at the expense of those
who embrace the idea of trying to get ahead. This usually involves a
lot of absentee-ism, it seems. It was not you or your story directly
that I was being sarcastic with, just the whole idea of people having
"agents" and others doing things for them, everything getting bigger
and bigger and further apart - and as this happens more and more
things happen as more and more arises the opportunity to blame someone
else for whatever bad things happen. I just see humor in it. I am
not against people buying homes or wanting more. But sometimes I just
can't help but see the humor when such endeavors fail and things fall
apart and the go-getters start crying the blues. I just find humor in
that. Plus, in a cowardly, roundabout way, maybe I'm still feeling a
bit defensive about brooklyn1's negative comments about tenants -
meaning me - and now that feeling is directed at you and your
unfortunate situation - which as you say may not be so unfortunate
afterall - because in reality the final result of all situations
cannot be judged until they are over.

Onward, March!
