Armagedden....when is your game ?

[Iabadman]

I may fly out and go if it in vegas ............so when is it ? If not ,some of my buddies that live there want to go check it out .............let us know .....and how is the diet going ? i hope well ..........take care

 

[Armageddon]

The game is on April 1, not sure what time. I may go hard core and play in two games on that day. There's actually three games that day. There's the vegas bowl, then the Casino Bowl (which I will be in) and then theres the All American Bowl game and I might play in this as I had an offer to. This is team USA vs. Team England. I think that should be a real fun time, you and your friends should come out there.

The diet needs to be tightened up, but I'm making progress so it's all good. I just want to make it through this weekend and I'll be on track and will have just under a month to crank it up!

Armageddon, what sport are you playing?? I'm here in Vegas, I'd like to check it out.

 

[Iabadman]

Well ......I hope you at least plan on getting me the location and times of which games you will be playing .........considering that I helped sponser you to play in them and I didnt even so much as get a thank you from you ...............You know bro ......that dissapoints me .........I tried to be cool and help you out ,because I love the game and miss it so much .[ and you seemed to be a cool guy , and I could see that you really wanted to play too] and when I forget to get it sent right out , because honestly I have many other things way more important going on besides just giving you 700 bucks for nothing, you stress on me .......then ,as soon as I can get someone to get it out for me .....I overnight it to you [ 24 bucks my cost ] and all I get from you is ," it arrived " ...........wow , no ,"thanks alot ."....."I cant believe you did that for a total stranger "....nothing ......just and an , " it has arrived " it is shit like that makes me not what to help folks ...........seriously ........finish what our agreement was [ get your ass in your best shape ever ] ......and send me out that info on the games [ I am going to try to go ] .........I think maybe we should sit down and have a talk .......It hard to understand exactly what your line of thinking is or was .........but I want to know ? All I wanted was, " a hey man ,thanks , I will put some hat on some folks for you and I will get into my best shape ever because you went out of your way when no one else would ."...............but I couldnt even get that much respect from you ....could I ?.........that is just plain weak my friend .........seriously we should talk ,so get me that game info ,I dont like being taken for granted .........You can get mad or make excuses all you want ...............go ahead ....but the fact is there is no excuse for not saying thank you .....none ....zero .....nada ..........just get me the info ........no need for drama unless you want it to come to that ...........honestly , I am done with you ...............so dont waste your time ...........

man i dont want to get into this because honestly its not my business, HOWEVER it was posted in the open forum so i have to comment....

i think you covered it IAB, but come on arma get your shit together man... thas ONE HELL of a favor for someone to do for a complete stranger.. you should be sending him pics daily, keeping in contact, letting him know when and where the games are, and reassuring him he knows his 700$ went to something worth while..

i hope it all works out..

I saw the first thread where Arm was excited about being asked to the game but could not go because he didn't have the money. Then Iabadman offered to help and I saw Arm say he wasn't too sure about that.

That was all I heard and I just figured that Arm had figured another way to get the money. I CERTAINLY didn't think IABADMAN had sent any money or I would have seen a REALLY big thank you post by Arm.

Then I see Arm's posts above and think now I am SURE Arm didn't need IABADMAN to send any money otherwise he DEFINITELY would have said HEY EVERYONE IABADMAN did an UNBELIEVABLE thing and paid my way to the game. If not for him I NEVER would have been able to go.

Now I read what IABADMAN posted and WOW I don't know what to say. I guess disappointment says it all.

I am not sure I would have been so tactful in my post if it were I that had given Arm the money. I think my post would have a few Fbombs in it. IABADMAN full props to you bro.

Sad Sad SADDDD day when someone takes advantage of IABADMAN....I asked him if I could talk with him about something in my life...which was resolved with someone else on this board...but anyways I knew he was a busy man and didn't want to bother him but the fact is I was a TOTAL stanger to him and he was going to listen to my bullshit for nothing....IABADMAN is truely the MAN!

 

[Iabadman]

Thanks fellas for the support ........I am no way trying to be a drama queen , I definately got my feelings hurt big time by this one .........A couple years ago on this board ,someone here was prepping for a national level show and had their finaces fall through ........I stepped up and threw in 4500 dollars and helped the person out ............To this day this person goes out of their way for me and has been a true friend never for asking for a thing since ,except trying to be my friend and wanting to help me through my hard times .......that was money well spent IMO......there have been others here that I have helped out on a smaller level ,and I am still close to all of them ..........this non appreciative attitude just really blew me away .....and I couldnt bite my toungue any longer [ you guys know me by now ] Most of you know that less that 6 months ago I lost everything I had minus one of my houses and a couple of cars that I own out right .........but I still do well enough to give when I can ...............You have to give in this world to get ......I believe in playing it foreward and treating others how I wish to be treated ............I like I told ARM .....700 bucks used to be nothing to me .......now it hurts alittle .........but I always stick to my word and dont mind helping good folks ............I guess what I am trying to say ....if I am going to sting for someone that I dont know .....I want them to at least to be thankful and feel like they might help someone else when they can .............I am wrong here ?[ sorry to post this on the open board ....but honestly I am extremely dissapointed......i didnt see getting trated like that from anyone here ]

 

[Jrflex10er]

IABADMAN.....something about you makes me want to shake your hand and meet you....I think alot of people on this board will agree with me...

 

[PassionateBB]

That is just plain awful! Unbelievable. I am so sorry that happened to you.

What is the matter with people????

 

[Armageddon]

Wow I just saw where this thread had went and I don't like it one bit! In no way have I taken advantage of this man and I am truely sorry that you feel I used you. You can be done with me and if so that is a sad fate but this is your wish. I have thanked you many times above and beyond this and even told you that you didn't need to do this. As far as harping on you I wrote you 1 pm asking if it was sent after you said that it should've arrived, and I told you the only reason that I asked you was because someone fucked with my mail the last few weeks and I was making sure no one went through my shit! I also told IAB that I will pay him back or at least get him some of the money back when if any of the other potential sponsors come through. I have no reason to use this man as it is a great favor and something I'll treasure and remember more than any will know and it has helped motivate me to do more for others around me. I'm sorry I didn't write something more personal when I got the package, but I just left a short message the moment I got it. IAB you know what type of man I am for the most part and I wouldn't take advantage of anyone here or anywhere else for that matter. Call me and we can talk about this in person if you would like. The game is on April 1st and I don't know the time of the game and I believe where playing at UNLV's stadium. I'll try and find the application with the info on line. I really hope you realize that $700 isn't worth it to me to ruin a friendship over!

 

[Armageddon]

For everyone that chimmed in about what a piece of shit I was and that I took advantage of someone is crap. I would think that you guys should no me better than that.

Everyone saw the threads and read how much I'd appreaciate that. This man hooked me up greatly, with out this effort I probably wouldn't make the game and it's great that he did it. I mean thank you. But you guys saying that I should be in constant contact is great but I'm not going to kiss his ass or something, something I don't think he would want. I'd expect him to expect the same in return, meaning that if there is anything that I could do for him I would and will!

Keeping in constant contact: pretty much think that the journal of what's going on and the pics there would take care of that. I've hid nothing from anyone about what I'm training for and how I've gotten there.

 

[Iabadman]

I appreciate your response .............but you only thanked me one time and that was when you first realized that I was serious about my offer .[ and that I wasnt expecting anything in return , but for you to have fun, alittle APPRECIATION , and for you to finish your diet in return ] ....Then all of the e-mails after that point ,were you stressing me over when the money was going to get to you [ and you did mention some mail issues , but no or other thanks or appreciation after the first time you realized that I was going to help you out ]......you did say if it was too much trouble[ it seemed almost like you were being sacastic or manipulative at that point ....lol ...but maybe I was wrong on that one ....I am sorry if I read into that ....around too many dancers I guess ], that you would find another way and I said I always do what I say and it wasnt that big of a deal, but did sting alittle .......I just couldnt believe that there was no thanks when the money arrived over night , no post of appreciation in your response to my thread ......nothing ......not even a two second pm a few days later .........I just dont see an excuse ..........period for that ............Do I want my money back ? Are you kidding , not my style ? Go play the game and do what you agreed to do and we are even .............Bro , all I want is the best for you [ I know that you are going through a rough transitional period ....I read it in your posts ....all I wanted you to know that there are people out that that do care during your rough time ].....just like I want for all of the people on this board [ I want nothing but the best , health , and happiness for everyone here ] .......I just think I deserved more out of you than I got .......dont you ? Seriously ? I dont hate you , I am not even mad ................I am just surprized and dissapointed by your lack graditude that is all ............Take care of yourself , enjoy the game ...............Play hard !!!

 

[Armageddon]

It's my bad about that, I didn't respond with an excuse cause that's all they are excuses. I could blame losing my job on monday or my birthday this weekend or something like that. But it isn't a solution to a problem. I am greatful and thankful, sorry that it left you and your act of kindness feeling un-appreciated. That was not my intention! I should have taken a few more moments to get thank you. I would love for you to come check out the game and meet me and see what I'm all about since you helped me. Maybe I can buy ya a drink or something!

 

[Iabadman]

Sounds good kid .........A belated happy birthday to you .........sorry about the job ...........if I go to the game ,maybe I can throw some career opportunies your way, lots of people around the country owe me favors ] ?........if I dont go ,maybe I will have some of my boys in Vegas take you out for me[ they are cool and way fun ]........they have lots of connections too...................later bro ........we are cool ............I hope you see why I was upset ...........make sense ? I am over it ........once again Happy Birthday ............and dont forget to say thank you next time fucker .....lol

 

[slide]

Good luck in the game, Armageddon and make sure you represent MI.

[Iabadman]

[OuchThatHurts]

WOW

Let me get this straight... Iab, you sent a fellow member some scratch to get to a game in Vegas? All I have to say is... I have nothing to say... I'm speechless. Almost tearful. You makin' me cry like a bitch over here.

THAT'S what I'm talking about in the counseling forum about brothers lockin' up instead of cutting each others' throats. You are a class act. Glad all this mess is over and it got resolved. Please don't let this sour in your stomach. We need guys like you out there. We have enough people who only give a shit about themselves and will screw even their friends' girlfriends. I just gotta say.

Can't help but love you, big guy. I love the ladies but man, that is really, really, great.

To sum up: awesome. glad it got resolved. don't ever change.

wow.
