Re-Writes..."The Closer"

"i'm kind of pissed off. i just realized something. i'll always have to better than the asshole ex i'm replacing. i feel like my mother trained me to be a good partner, i mean, the opposite of my dad. she made me the way i am today. but i'll never get to be the way i am because it's the way that i am, i'll have to be that way because same girl's ex wasn't. it will be like, "brian's romantic, my ex didn't know what a flower was." "brian's thoughtful, my ex didn't know the month, let alone the date of our anniversary." i'll never get any credit for my qualities. they'll always be compared to somebody else's. wait! i didn't just come to this conclusion. i've already written this before. i think i made the analogy that i'm a closer, which is funny now because i'm literally trying to get a save. saving a woman from the losers that don't deserve her. anyway, i said closer because i always come in after the starter fucks things up, tied game, runners on first and second with no outs, game on the line. i have to get out of the jam he left for me. i have to fix his mistakes and deal with the issues his bullshit has created. i want to be a starter. i'd throw a complete game, fuck other pitchers. oh yeah, i said "closer" before instead of "reliever" because i want to be the last pitcher in the game and everyone already knows relievers don't get any love...by the way, somebody needs to go get me some coffee. that's a glengarry glen ross reference. yay david mamet!!!"

sometime in '05 or '06, i wasn't dating stuff in this comp. book.
