I found and joined this board due to the issues raised about my bike shop. I wanted to offer clarification to those of you speculating about my reasoning, and perspective. Having done that, and not seeing much more of my input that has any relevance to you; or the future of Asbury Park; I will be refrain from posting more of my infinite wisdom. It seems to me that you all have the situation(s) well in hand. And some of you just need to be right at all costs. It's that kind of thinking that will fail the city as a whole. Egos, and non justified ones at that, drive the upper echelon here. Humility and compassion will get you your golden key to (your) heaven; not greed and misrepresentation. Furthermore, I find myself being sucked in for sheer entertainment value. I want to get out before I become another molerover; endlessly spewing my cynacism where it really serves no purpose for either side of the very valid debates you are all so involved in. Yes, I'm cynical due to my experiences here. Most of you will never know (or care to see) how pure my intentions were in bringing my business here. I witnessed things here that literally boggle the mind; and heard the same thing from so many others; that reside here and don't. A constant barage from all angles that made me feel to hate it. This place wasn't ready for someone of my integrity yet. But I honestly wish that all of you get what you give. I hope that there is a heaven, and it's judge is fair. I, who don't believe in it in that sense, have a better chance of making it in than many who claim to. I wish the best for this city, though it will be a long road back for me to feel the emotional attachment I had prior to coming here; and I'll probably never get to that stage again. But I'll say maybe. I couldn't even admit that it's still in my heart a month ago, so hope springs eternal. I admit, that my antagonization in later posts was designed to illicit emotional responses from one person. I hope that I've helped to end the speculation that was well in place, and topics of discussion; before I knew this place existed. I think that the responses I'd drawn from emotionally charged statements have cleared things up. There is no doubt in my mind. And Fred, I apologize for accusing you of being one in the same. I realize that her posts have a level of validity, and come from a genuine concern for a community that she's invested a lot more time in than myself. Even if I don't agree with her ideals, or understand the emotions driving them. Take care. If you need a bike, you know where to go.... DJs!
P.S. Roley, I only have one response to all of your future posts: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ------------------------ Yahoo!
