Really frustrated and angry right now.

I borrowed a friend (B) a 600w w hood and 2x1000w w/hoods all with bulbs which I wasn't using. I borrowed another buddy (C) a 1000w with a hood. I told them just to throw me down some nugs and if they use it for longer than 2 grows they need to buy me new Eye Hortilux bulbs. I find out that the light I borrowed to C he borrowed to B. B now has 3x1000w and the 600w setups of quality equipment. I really didn't think anything about it at the time because I really trusted the guy, he was my best man and I was unable to do anything with the equipment at the time. I guess C thought since I was such good friends with B it was okay to borrow him my stuff.
6 months later, I meet up with B at the bar. He's arrogant, annoying, and coked out bragging to everyone how he's so big, he's got this and that, and can bench press 400lbs. He's telling everyone he's the biggest grower in town. I'm embarrassed to be there with him. He tells me "I'm in the middle of something big bro, my shit makes yours look like nothing" talking down to me the entire time. I actually taught this asshole how to grow and set up his grow-op 10 years ago, since the bastard can barely read. I should have known he was a PoS when he tried to charge me for clones after that! He's acting like a combination of Scarface and Jersey Shore. I asked him when I can get my shit back and he gets annoyed, "I'll give em back when I'm done with this one, you're not even using it"
I realize I can't stand this PoS anymore. He's a pathological narcissist and literally everything I fucking hate. But there's really nothing I can do. I can't sew him for my shit. He's 300lbs I'm not going to fight him. He tells me he's partnered up with some douche bag who owns some giant building. I try to get a hold of him but can't. Fast forward another 4 months. I go over to his house. He's not there his baby momma kicked his ass out. His boat, truck, cars, stocked garage, everything is gone from the house.
Some more time passes. Finally, he calls me, not about the equipment. He's asking me to rent him a fucking room!. He says "I don't have any money, but I have EBT card we can buy groceries with" I ask him WTF happened with my equipment he says "I sold all that stuff like 5 months ago, bro. I needed the money more than you needed your stuff" I'm fucking steaming. I guess he sold everything to his partner. I talk with his uncle who tells me he's been an alcoholic and coked out for awhile, and has burned everyone in his life. His family and friends have cut him off. I didn't realize it at the time, but I saw his partner on the news. He got busted because B couldn't keep his god damn mouth shut, he never could. Now the bastard is homeless.
He comes to places where he thinks I might be, name drops, calling me his "little brother" asking people if they've seen me around. Tries to contact my friends and family on Facebook to squeeze his way back into my life. Name drops me on Facebook. Puts up pictures of us from 2 decades ago. I'm really pissed and just had to get that shit off my chest.

The last part of this might sound sad. But it's all manipulation. People are just things to be used up and thrown out to him.

...and friends are over rated. That word is used too loosely, when in reality, true friends, you can count on one hard over your lifetime.
When I was fourteen I could count on dozens of hards a day. I guess this doesn't give me the same sense of overrating that you assign to a biological function that was useless and annoying (especially in gym class) to me. It's all about perspective I guess.

Denim forgave much, especially with the One Pocketed Hand
We had a dress code; all shirts had to be tucked in,period, no exceptions. Of course every single day boys were getting caught with untucked shirts; boys across the social spectrum; good kids, bad kids, smart ones and dumb ones. One day the vice principal had a few of us and was especially PO'd about it. He's yelling at this one kid, smartest kid in school,good kid never in any trouble, always obeyed rules, etc. The poor kid was freaked. Finally I piped up with "boners". The VP turns to me and gives me a couple hours of detention for disrespect. I elucidated, we cover our boners. Weird, apparently that was the first time he'd considered that. Let us go with no detention lol

An acceptable resolution. He could have been a hard case about it.

I try to be generous and give everbody a chance once. If they take advantage or don't keep their word I tell them good luck and don't contact me any more. Hopefully they'll figure things out once they get over themselves. I get disappointed a bit but feel good about myself.
