Keith Loses Tamsen (Part 1)

Data Compilation Doubts

The data compilation of these chronicles has not yet come to a conclusion but from my judgment, I feel that through these periodical highs, the peak came in late March and early April. Thereupon, the desire and zeal began its declination probably shown by smaller overall pages a month, smaller entry sizes and less enthusiasm shown in my writing chronology by the Grading Level used upon the word and sentence structures.

For the past two or more weeks I haven’t given any time to that data compilation because I fell in a rut of having found the collaboration of more difficult tasks overwhelming. Nevertheless, tonight I will begin upon that path again in hopes of creating a structure of graphs to indicate the flow of contribution to these memoirs, be it in chronology, poetry or otherwise.

Jett Taps on the Window

Without any further philosophy on my part, let me get to the more industrial part of these pages, chronology. Beginning on my Saturday morning, I woke up around the time of 9:30 a.m. and for the next couple of hours didn’t do much more than the normal necessities of my day. For that reason I shall not recite what didn’t take place in those hours but shall begin a half an hour into my diary entry on Saturday.

Just after 1:00 p.m. while I had just come downstairs from having had a snack to eat I heard a tap on my window. Startled I looked through my mirror towards that direction to see a big grin adorn Jett’s face. Answering his call by opening the door I allowed him in and was a little surprised that he came over to visit me.

However, it wasn’t the same kind of surprise say of Imad coming to visit me because I would see that only as being a fake and put on gesture, probably after a day that I had seen him out of the blue. Nope, Jett comes over on his free will and save for the perception that he might have needed some time to waste as Maddox was working behind the counter at the Gym, his visit was by choice.

Jett remarked how he had slept over Maddox’ house the night before in which they played the Playstation all night. Jett informed me of how his old Playstation had burnt in which he bought a new one and with that, he had plenty of new games. For the next two hours and a half Jett kept himself over my house as we looked through computer magazines, talked about concurrent issues and even had a game of ‘Worms’ on my computer.

Sightings of Naqi

Here are some of the topics we touched upon. Firstly, Jett informed me on how he had seen Naqi on the train to the City. For some reason everyone feels the need to tell me either about Lyssa or about Naqi when they do see them and I’m not sure why they think it would interest me. The same thing happens with Lyssa where people inform her that they had seen me at a certain place and I wonder to myself “What’s the point, where’s the worth in it all”.

Despite this uselessness, the knowledge does keep itself in these pages in the event that they may one day become useful in some way or other. Therefore, the news I was advised of is that Naqi is now working in Redfern as a painter. No longer does he work for his boss up here, nope, he gave his boss the flick because of course, he was a prick.

Mikaere Behind Bars

There was also the topic of Mikaere and how he is now in lockup for fifteen years. Manu is also in there for four years in which he conspired to most robberies and another guy called Rocco was in there for the same amount of time. From what I was told, the cops headed to Rocco’s house and lied about having had Mikaere and Manu already in custody.

Therefore, he confessed to their involvement of all the crimes and for that, Mikaere and Manu were taken into custody and sent to jail. Brave was Mikaere for taking the brunt of the rap so that the other two would get out of jail earlier but from what I hear, Mikaere is going to kill Rocco when he finally does get out, hopefully earlier for good behavior.

Another little story I heard was that Mikaere and his little group went to rob an Armor Guard Truck and exchanged gunfire with security in which they did not get hurt and did escape. From that the cops, who were waiting so long to bust the three of them, finally pounced and sadly, came up with the goods. Rocco had a bunch of licenses at his house of all the people they had robbed and subsequently linking them to all those crimes. The licenses were used to threaten the victims so that they wouldn’t rat them in…

Tamsen Leaves Keith

The third and more vital conversation that we chatted of was the fact that Tamsen might be finishing her relationship with Keith. Jett made it sound like she was sitting on the fence with the whole prospect of being alone but later in the night when Keith called me it turned out that Tamsen had already laid the hard word on Keith this Friday night just gone. Nevertheless, Jett told me how in the last couple of months Tamsen was trying to find a way out of the relationship but could never put herself up to it.

I guess I could see it happening when I would see them both together, never being able to leave each other without a certain argument. Knowing that Keith has cheated on Tamsen with Phoenix on more than one occasion I was somewhat glad that she finally made a causeway out of the relationship and into her own salved freedom. From Keith’s point of view later on that night, he advised me of how for the last year he has treated her like shit and he knew it.

Just to touch lightly upon his discussion, Tamsen felt like she was caged up whenever around his presence and when she would visit clubs by herself and with Tamsen, she felt so much better for it. This in the end helped her to her decision, one that Keith now is trying to fight against so that he can win her back. Personally, I think it is over and well deserved…

Jett Leaves Before Rain

Jett also chatted about his bid to buy a CD writer and install it into my computer so that he would be able to copy CDs whenever he wanted. That didn’t go all too bad with me as I would love to harbor this device so that I could use it to my own needs of a time. Having a couple of games on ‘Worms’ and a couple of hours when the time was night of 3:30 p.m. it was time for him to head off. The clouds were conjuring in the sky and he didn’t want to be caught amongst them so he headed off to Anders’s house, where he is still living for a couple of months.

Keith Calls Back

When Jett had darted off I thought to give Keith a call to see what he was doing and also, to delve so that I could find out some more information about his supposed breakup. Keith sounded upset when I phoned him and he asked if he could call me back in a couple of minutes. That I allowed him to do and he lived up to his wager; calling me back soon after.

When he first did speak I inadvertently asked him why he sounded so glum in which he responded with “Well I guess you’re going to find out some time so I guess you should find out by me”. With these words I knew exactly what he was going to say and when hearing him utter “Tamsen and I have broken up as of Friday” I knew I was in for a little chat.

At first Keith didn’t want to speak much of his recent problem but to my reluctance in hearing other peoples’ problems I did heed when he decided to open his blatantly ailing heart. ‘What swine doth grovel when he be forced from wean, his glutton suckling, overwhelms much her spleen. Basically noted, he has been taken away from Tamsen, from one who he was continually feeding off her and in turn, making her repel him as she has. Keith threw some self-pity my way when he also noted that he had lost his job as well as his girlfriend. His job was lost when he mucked around in one of the meetings and then the next day, he was fired.

Our chat lasted for almost half an hour as he told me how sad he was and how he was going to give it one more chance. Keith was supposed to chat with Min-Su for the night, he was supposed to call her phone later in the night so he could tell her his side of the story and how he was going to be a better boyfriend. From what I was told, Tamsen didn’t want to speak to Keith until Monday where she would finally make her mind up, judgment day.

Nevertheless, since Keith couldn’t talk directly to Tamsen he wanted to chat with Min-Su so she could pass the message along. Keith uttered how Tamsen spent the night at Min-Su’s house the night before and Keith feels that the both of them must have been talking all night about her dilemma. Thus, Keith believes that Min-Su was a better part of Tamsen’s decision to dump him but he relented to say “I don’t blame Min-Su for giving Tamsen an opinion, after all, they are best friends”.

Keith, it seems, was on his last leg and he knew that it was now all up to Tamsen to decide what was to be. Therefore, seeing Min-Su as a mediator rather than a villain was Keith’s way of staying in Tamsen’s good books. Our conversation ended with Keith telling me that he would come over later in the night. “I need to be with my friends in these next few weeks” he told me so naturally, I offered my assistance in his debacle.
