so i realized and have to admit that i've been using this guy mike for a really long time now. i mean i considered him a friend and hung out with him a lot (mostly lunch meetings and such) but today realized that underneath everything i've been using him to hopefully one day cash out on him. he's really smart and i just was trying to stay within his close biz circle/network so that hopefully could be a partner (which at some point we were).. i think the point i'm making is don't mix business with friends and don't do what i did which is make a 'friend' only based on hopes of some business interaction. sometimes i feel i was used by him (as i have gotten him jobs, connections, work for his company w/o pay, was promised equity, was considered a biz partner, done biz deals) but today realized that it wasn't him using me so much as it was me always using him. even though i had done so much for him, the line of business/friends was too blurred, and now i don't find that i like him much as a friends or business - and realize that i wouldn't have liked or hung out him to all along if i hadn't been essentially using him to try and further my career. anyway FML, that was too long an investment for it not to pay out.
oh well. lesson learned in life i suppose. don't use people?

- Everything in life is a selfish act. Having kids, a wife. Making friends to feel good etc. Carry on ya soppy twat or if you really don't like him. Lose his.Hayzilla
