Dante’s Opinion: How Do I Handle My Hatred for My Girlfriend’s Cat?

This is a really dark question. Take a look at this:

I have an extreme hatred for my girlfriends cat and I feel like I can’t control it much longer. It’s hard to explain, but here goes. I absolutely ******* despise cats. I think they are the single most annoying things on earth. And my girlfriend just brought one home a few months ago. And I can’t take it anymore. I hate this thing so deeply, I feel sick about it. I look at it and. I sometimes feel like I’m losing control with it. I feel like my sight starts to fade and I’m approaching a blackout and I just want to attack it.

It’s this intense feeling of hatred and anger and I feel like I just need to make it feel some kind of extreme pain. I want it to hurt. This thing is nothing but a little ***** that walks around my house knocking **** off the tables, scratching the paint off my walls and walking under my feet. I want to burn it while it’s still alive. Every time it looks at me, I get angry. I just want it to die. I don’t even want to give it to someone… I just want to kill it. I don’t want it to have a life. I want this ******* thing to suffer. Has ANYONE ever felt this strongly about anything or anyone? I’m losing my ******* mind. Like I said, I hate it. I don’t want it. I don’t want to give it to anyone either. I just want to kill it. And this is the only animal I have ever felt this way about. Oh my god, i cant ******* handle it.

Um…….

I have been close about feeling like that with someone but this is intense.

I needed some time to process what I’m going to say here. I think I got a few things.

For one, based off of what you said, there is something seriously wrong with you. I’m not attacking you; feeling this way about this animal is not normal. Blacking out into a rage at the sight of it is not a good sign.

You’ll need to consider some professional help. You’ll also need to let your girlfriend know you’re not comfortable (I guess to put it lightly) with the cat at the crib. See if you can get some help. If that’s not working for you, it’s time for the cat to go. Now, either your girlfriend leaves with the cat or not. It’s up to her. It’s only been a few months; maybe she’s not to attached to it.

Don’t kill the cat, man. Don’t do it. They have too many lives; it’ll come back and with a vengeance. Seriously, don’t kill the cat.

Dante’s Opinion: What Should My Kids Eat for Dinner?

I’m…here’s the question:

What should my kids have for dinner tonight?

1) McDonalds
2) Sonic
3) Pizza Hut
4) Taco Bell
5) Wendy’s

Those are my choices as I’m watching TV tonight and will not be cooking. Which one?

Let’s see…

Here’s what I think about McDonalds.

So that leaves us with four options.

Okay, actually, no Taco Bell for me. Love the food but my love affair with my toilet needs to end.

Down to three. I mean, if you don’t want to go anywhere, Pizza Hut is the only option. But, the best food out of the last three…I’d go with Sonic. Yeah, go with Sonic.

Dante’s Opinion: Soft vs Hard Taco

This is too easy.

Soft taco or hard taco?

I like it soft except with the ladies. AAAYYEEE! But seriously, I like soft tacos because they are easier to manage. A hard taco breaks after the first bite and then everything is falling and leaking out. No. Who does a hard taco anymore?

Like I said, too easy. I’m out.

Dante Positive: Women Making History

This piece of news is from Positive News. I wanted to give them a special shoutout as they follow me on Twitter and I do the same. They popped up with an article of a bunch of women who were first in their category of race and sexual orientation. The idea was, even though we don’t have our first female president, women still ended up in places never seen before.

When I look at my sisters, I hope and pray they can make a powerful difference where ever they are.

Make sure you read the entries. There are six ladies. Girl power or something.

Dante’s Opinion: Should I Do Wrestling or Basketball?

Ah, as I ran into this question, I thought he was asking which was better. But…

So my favorite sport is basketball. I tried out for the team this year, but unfortunately I got cut. However, the coach offered me a position as the team’s manager. Before I tried out for basketball, I signed up for wrestling as a second option in the case that I got cut from basketball, but the thing is I have never wrestling before and I don’t really like it, but it’s the only other sport available in the winter season besides basketball.

But being the basketball team’s “manager” would be hella crappy. I couldn’t make the team, so the next best thing is to sit on the sideline and record the team’s stats and order jerseys and sh*t like that. I can’t play, so watching people play while I’m the “manager” would be demoralizing. On the other hand, wrestling is not my sport. I don’t like wrestling, I’m not necessarily a strong person, and it hurts.

So I’m at a dilemma: be the basketball team manager, still stay in contact with the coach and the team, but can’t play and sit on the sidelines, or be on the wrestling team and at least be on a team but I don’t like the sport.

What do I choose?

Thanks

Yeah, he’s stuck doing one of two evils. Remind you of anything? BUT ANYWAY…

My gut is basketball. Yeah, basketball is my favorite sport as well, but it’s more than that. It’s the principle of position. You get to be close to your sport. I think that’s the better move. It gives you an interesting perspective on things too.

Consider this crazy scenario: You’re sitting there keeping count of the stats and you’re watching the players. You notice things like patterns and ways to improve the team’s performance. You run this by the coaches. You present them the stats that you know about to back up your claim. “Oh you’re right” Boom. Coaching gig. (that’s why I said this is crazy)

Dante’s Opinion: Do I Tell My Sister I Slept With Her Fiancé?

The tough ones always come out at night.

Well, I ****** my sister’s fiancé a couple nights ago. I’m not sure why; he’s not even that attractive. But that’s beyond the point. My sister and I are very close. In fact, I am her bridesmaid. Since I was a teenager I’ve known I’m not the greatest person; I’m miserable and I drink and have sex with multiple guys (and girls) to forget about my problems. I only think of myself and I don’t think of other people. I’ve been told this all before.

My sister is the “perfect” one. She’s a pretty little blonde who did well in school and has a perfect life and is clearly my parents favorite. Maybe I ****** him out of spite because I am secretly jealous of her, and I wanted to take what was hers just to prove that I can. Enough self pity. I am clearly mentally unstable and going on the Internet for answers. Lol. Should I tell my sister, or just let it go? I have no clue how to tell her. It’ll ruin our relationship and she’s my only friend.

Ah. Okay so this is a deeper issue than lust, and it’s nice to see you consider that the reason.

Okay, welp, you’re gonna have to tell your sister. You’re close, right? You gotta tell her especially before (and if) the fiancé tells her. It’s better than the alternative which will be that this horrible secret will eat you up inside and ruin you.

Not to try to turn the attention away from you, but your sister deserves to know her man cheated on her. It’s painful because you’re the side piece, but your sister needs to know.

Telling her is the hardest part. There is no way to do it “easy” so you should just go in and tell her. Don’t try to excuse the action. Tell her you messed up and you’ll do whatever you can to try to get to a good place again.

What you had is over. She’s not going to look at you the same anymore and there will be scars. But, if you’re close, I think it can work out and you’ll still have a productive relationship. I suggest telling her about how you may be jealous and all of these things with t and stuff. Again, it’s not an excuse, but be honest about where you are coming from (there’s a sex joke in there; I need help).
