Casey Gets Closure

Thanks to some Facebook sleuthing by one of our former acquaintences, we have become aware of Casey's recent desire to have some sort of "closure" with his ex-wife Galina.

You will of course recall that Casey's wife locked him out of their home rented bedrooms in her sister's place when he decided that taking a trip to Australia on about an hour's notice and leaving her penniless with bills to pay was a good idea. After that kind of debacle, most people would have presumed that all roads back were closed and that closure was complete, whether you liked it or not.


But not our boi.


Casey has desperately continued to wear his wedding ring, "the ring of hope" he has called it (the Haterz™ have termed it "the ring of fail™") thus clearly tagging himself as hopelessly hung up and thus unattractive to anybody else who might come along. He's commented repeatedly about getting "the one" back. He started the stupid Millionaire By Christmas blog, which from its very inception seemed designed around the idea of finally making good and thus winning Galina back, as if she were somehow paying attention to his blogs anymore. He blamed his divorce on outsiders "meddling" as rationalization for having been a jerk and then continued to dream that once the outsiders were gone, he could have another chance.


But lately things have changed. It's not clear what's prompted this, but Casey has been talking about moving on and achieving the desired "closure," about two years late. In fact, it made the top of his Christmas Fantasies List for the month. We have an inkling that there may be some other female lurking in the background and that the "closure" was perhaps a result of Casey realizing that there is more than one stupid gullible victim interested girl out there and that his continued pining for somebody who is obviously gone was perhaps not the biggest turn-on for somebody new.


This photo featuring the ring of fail is adeptly photographed on-location at the West Sacramento Ikea store, for reasons we have yet to understand, and is published with some commentary suggesting that a meeting took place with somebody over lunch at the store, leading to final closure:

... closure received. It is FINAL.

... there is a very profound meaning to all of the symbolism depicted. The time has come. I am moving on. Just like that.

... I am just so glad I did not allow anuone to pressure me into moving on before I was ready. I stood my ground, did a good amount of grieving and healing, kept holding on just in case, did everything I felt led to do, kept the door open for a possible reconciliation up untill the last moment. Well the time has come. The meeting over delicious Swedish meatballs at Ikea provided the final confirmation.

However, before moving on, Casey does have the opportunity to remind us what an artistic genius he is as well, and how great the future is for him. We find him continually tough to stomach:

... I would please ask my friends to be gentle with this area. I guess it IS all ultimately pretty funny but the wound is still healing. Thank u. This is the month to tie up all the loose ends and 2010??? I have NNNOOO IDEA what is coming next! The excitement and anticipation is becoming more intense with each day this month of December 2009

... some pieces of art and personal expression need not an explanation nor reason. Only it's creator knows and feels the meaning.

... I already AM an artist as I creatively live my life and express it through all kinds of ways -- from crafting business ventures to playfully blogging my lifestory, capturing the right moment via video/photography, etc. In which way do you express your creative artistic side?

We also can't quite understand the significance of Ikea in all this, though Casey does note that there is great significance to this photo. Did he and Galina buy some important piece of furniture there? Did they love the Swedish meatballs? Does she work there and he stalked her in order to have the conversation? Did he even meet with her, or was it a meeting with Galina's anonymous representative? Very confusing, even to those of us who have watched Casey for a while.

It should be noted that Casey went to great lengths to make this photo as it is. We have obtained the satellite imagery of the West Sacramento Ikea store:

The entrance to the store is in the upper right and that is where most cars are parked. The sign is in the lower left adjacent to the lot that is furthest from the entrance, closest to the loading dock and probably used only by employees or maybe people living inconspicuously in their vans.

To get the photo, Casey would have needed to be somewhere in the red circle adjacent to the sign, as shown in this image. Not a place most people would be, and unless you worked in the store probably not even an area you would normally be particularly aware of. Casey of course has had his reasons for seeking out inconspicuous parking lots in the past year, but we seriously doubt he took this photo there because that's where he's been sleeping.

Casey thinks he's being all cool and artistic and stuff for hiding stupid meanings in bad photographs. We still think he's a jerk, though obviously now a jerk who has achieved closure. Someday maybe he'll achieve a 10 year-old's maturity level.

And that's the way things are here at FalseCasey HQ, where we are hung over.
