hi i am blue angel
Re: my .02
about the stuff u said swamp dog....
shower trucks.........said never saw about nekid all had swim suits etc...
nekid people--------still says as of today, he saw no nekid people or anybody scantily clad for that matter. he is looking me straight in the eye and telling me this swears on my soul and life of any of my unborn children thats the truth., :roll:
gulf war---------she is the one that was in the gulf, said that part of the reason he wanted to go with her was that she was used to camping in harsh conditions.................not in gulf anymore due to health problems...gulf war syndrome perhaps?
lezzie thing-------------he said that she had not interest in neighboring men in the camp at 9:30 no interest in men=lesbian?? .........said he showed not interest in women either.........i asked if she was born without genitalia and only breasts and an ass. ......i said that maybe her gift to bm was to to display an absence of genetalia as part of the experience.
also said that she bought a tent that was huge 13 ft and that they stayed on their prospective sides. i recently heard about the playa couple thing but don't really know much about it. this is really very new to me
lousy time.........said she was picking fights with everyone, was a priss and dressed in a little more than dental floss and insisted on him taking photos of her. just wanted to ride her bike all the time and it made him mad. that she just wanted to ride all the time.........i dunno......if i was with a bitch i think i would tell her to get on that bike and pedal her ass off away from me and be glad she was into it.........said she kept saying she wished she was on an island and the $$$ was a waste of time

I'm not sure about that. I'm all of those things and I LOVE BM! (Except not a drama queen.)swampdog wrote: In fact, you can tell a lot about a person by what kind of bad time they had at burning man. Control freaks don't like it. Purists don't like it. People with a narrow comfort zone (physically, mentally, spiritually) don't like it. Drama queens only like it if people play the roles they need.
And about the war, I think you can also say that you can tell a lot about a person by how they come out of it. I know several people that the war really fucked up. I was infantry and did five man reconnaissance just about my entire tour and had almost no after-effects. Just a hard time sleeping in a bed for the first couple of months home. (Viet Nam--not braging, just saying I never let it effect me.)

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

When you act like in this thread at BRC you will be called "MOOP-Girl". Seriously, you seem to be a little immature. Bruningman means a lot of impressions and I wonder if you could handle that. Perhaps you should start with a big music-festival...blueangel wrote:yea hsdavis......

I tend to believe people but its more fucked up when its somebody you trust without thinking.......well....he failed me and i didn't realize that until i came here, I didn't know anything about bm...just what he told me and it wasn;t all the truth.
the way he described it made me not want to go.....coming to this board makes me wanna be a part of it.
as far at the music fests are concerned.........come on now......... i am a musician, i have been playing music festivals and opening for national acts for years......

I guess what I don't understand Blueangel is that he said she paid for the "...hotel rooms when they got there..." but there are no hotels in Black Rock City and exchanging money is pretty much taboo. The nearest hotel is in Gerlach by Bruno's and it's booked months in advance by people who work Burning Man during that time.
Sounds like he has some explainin' to do.

I am sorry, it is just not possible to go to BM and not see naked or scantily clad people. Did he stay in his tent and shit in a bucket the whole time he was there? If you go to the porta johns you are going to see people scantily clad and/or naked. And most of the people who run behind the water trucks are naked, after all, they are just trying to get a "free shower." The water trucks do not spray sewage. The water is not potable, which means that you should not drink it, but it is not sewage or waste water. The Nevada board of health would shut BM down if it was.
As for burning Man itself? I find that it is the perfect blank canvas against which to look at yourself. There is no other place that you can go that I know of where other people will not expect you to be like them or act a certain way.
There is nothing wrong with trusting people... or being disappointed when you find out that they cannot be trusted. Don't let that worry you.
You sound like someone who will fit in (whatever the hell that means). Remember the only place you have to fit in is with yourself. Come by the B(o)(o)by Bar and have a drink and visit.

well......like i said he swears up and down on jesus and all living things that he didnt see nakedness or anybody he would call really scantily clad except for t he chick he took with him.
the only reason i even know they were really there is i saw pics on line that i found by chance.........she was in a furry bathing suit and he was just wearing the same shit he wears when hes home...............
said the potable water is gross and that he didn't nobody trying to get cooled off by the trucks.........
i said to him today, why would anybody on the bm want to make shit up?? these people seem very cool and straight up. he says..oh they want to stir up shit...
i said..there would be no shit to stir if you didn't create it.....
i dunno..i am giving this guy every opportunity to just be real....leave it behind us and plan a trip together.............everybody makes mistakes...i can forgive being human and thinking maybe the grass was greener but to keep denying?/
he is just lying about stupid shit.......the lying is pissing me off more than anybody he might have screwed...........
i might just have to accept the fact that burningman might have played a part in busting up my relationship. but from what i have read,,,u guess that ain't nothing new............
ps- yes i will be a that booby bar with tassels on........

OMFG this is better than Tyra on Mescaline.
alright blue angel, i dont know you, but you seem nice, almost too trusting of your boyfriend.
let me set you straight if i might. It takes one to know one...Having said that, i am ashamed to say that all of your boyfriends excuses and red herrings (sorry camp herring, the pun was intended) are indeed lies...I have actually used some of those before, the lesbian thing, made me pose for the photo, we were just hugging naked, that's all, "WASNT ME"... i mean, take it from me, and i've been married and divorced twice already, he is SO lying to you.
i'm sorry, and i may be wrong, but based on experience and a sense that your ex-military man might be just a TAD misogynistic, a common side effect of all that macho in one place, and the ongoing (tailhook) flavor of our armed forces that allow this unspoken sexism to occur, may have rubbed off on him...
i have even witnessed a commanding officer give a letter with his signature explaining in delicate terms that you could indeed catch pubic lice from the latrine and that this was a possibility and to take Johnny private first class at his word because he's a good man and wouldnt lie to you....
i swear to god....worst of all, she bought the lie, and let it slide under the rug with all the others so they could party with the dust bunnies.
she's still married to that bobo too, and suffers every day, you can see it in her eyes, it's painful to witness.
dont let this happen to you, If he swore on his unborn baby, he's ABSOLUTELY lying, that's the one you pull out when you're cornered.
sincerely, a former, recovering rat.

Well, I don't know if it's worth the confrontation....... I think I can safely say none of us here believe the story....... But since you weren't there, confronting him will likely only bring about more stories...... that can't be validated.
I don't know, we all have very different experiences at Burning Man, and there are those who just don't care for it....... But none of us are really buying the story......

thanks for giving me that advice...yea i am a nice person......probably too nice. I a very understanding but don't want to be played a fool. I look it all over before i doing anything rash...thats just me............
even though this does seem like a fucked up made for tv mini series, its real and years of my life with this guy could be over.
i would have to move yada yada....but i will accept dealing with bullshit now and try to move on than live a life of bullshit. i have seen that look you are talking about in womens eyes simon. its a look of shame and pain. i don't want to be like that.
I just want this man to come clean and be a man. if he fucked up then he fucked up. some people just get caught..in this case he is caught and is squirmin like a devil in church. the more i hear the more i realize that the shit is getting real deep.
sooo stubborn. i think that he is thinking that if he changes his story now that he will really lose me so he would rather keep me in the dark thinking i am clueless.....
simon if you have any ideas (being you are experienced in such devious activities:)) to get this guy to fess up.let me know.. otherwise the engagement ring he says he is getting me is gonna shoved somewhere that might hurt................
btw......he was NOT in the service.........she was in the service...discharged cause she has something wrong with her...

Why Bother?
dont throw good money after bad.....my father always said that, and it's true...
cut your losses, and go find someone who respects you for who you are.
i dont want to be the catalyst for you leaving, but i think you'll feel a great sense of relief and freedom along with the pain and sorrow that will follow.
time heals all wounds, and this too shall pass and any other horrid cliche that applies, but cliches are there because they do contain the essence of the universal.
the years you've invested are'nt worth anything if his stock is tanking, and he's already spent the bonuses...it's junk bond status now.
it sounds like your a christian, so to put it in code, dont spill seed on fallow ground, and dont give your pearls to pigs.
good luck, and if you make it to the playa, i'm sure you'll find you're amongst friends.

Alright! I have been attending Burning Man for about 8 years and have a wife at home who, under the best of circumstances would never attend. She has seen photos with nudity and some of the other outlandish things that go on there, but she doesn't ask questions and doesn't grill me on every detail of the event. There is nudity there, but not sexual, erotic nudity, just open minded free expression going on there.
This year, two young and really naked women stopped by our camp to ask directions. I grabbed my map and and pointed them in the right direction. I didn't really notice that they only had shoes on. After the first 15 minutes of being there, it is just not something that seems unusual. I am very glad that I can go on bike rides with no clothes on and I am glad that these is no one grilling me about every single aspect of my week. If I were grilled, I am sure that I would lie.
My best advice would be to let things drop and give some breathing room.
Usually nothing questionable happens while you're there, but at the same time, I would never want someone to be grilling me senseless when I got home. When I get home after a week in the desert, I find myself refreshed and renewed and glad to be home with my family.

BlueAngel,
There is damn little sarcasm in this thread (other than the '9:30 no nudie zone') but there certainly is plenty of that in other threads here.
You seem to have touched Simon's withered heart, all of his posts here have been quite insightful and honest. It's possible that it has simply taken this long for the dried husk in his chest to rehydrate after leaving the playa.
Since we're being all confessional... I spent about five years longer in my marriage than I should have. The habits I developed from that bad relationship followed me into later relationships and really fucked things up. It is possible for people to grow apart as well closer. So don't try to hard to save something that's gone.
If you are hesitating to throw away a relationship that you have invested several years in try to decide if this current incident is part of larger pattern. What do you want from a relationship? What does he want? Hell, what do you want out of life? Are the two of you moving in the same direction?
I know that the problems that led to my divorce were present since the beginning of the relationship. It just took the right blow up for me to have that "Oh Shit!" moment where I was able to look beyond that day's fight and see that the same issue underlay all the different fights.
