Footnote to Plato

Anonymous in London

Dear Gabe:

I have this friend who has this advice blog, you see, but he doesn’t allow anonymous comments on it, so the many people wanting advice, but don’t want their ideas known end up going to some other blog. How should I go about telling my friend that anonymous comments would be handy, even if they are incredibly annoying.

Insinuatingly,
Egging Bulls in London’

Dear Egging Bulls,

I’d say you buy him some brewskies to help smooth it over, then, when he’s least expecting it, you get all of your mutual friends to jump out of furniture (or out from behind furniture, whatever’s easier to arrange) and you have an intervention. For some added fun, you should all be anonymous (i.e. with disguises). Ha ha! He’s have to be an idiot not to get that pun!!

And what’s with the insinuating closing? It makes me feel like…

… wait, the friend was me right? Damn. Just buy me some brewskies.

love,
Gabe

Unpopularity

By Pixel at March 1, 2005 at 8:35 pm. Filed in a pixelated mind, seriously now

I used to be popular. I never knew why. I’ve never tried or cared. And now I’m not popular anymore, but not for any change in my part– just the nature of college.

And I understand why I’m not popular now. I’m a bit much for the average person. I’ll give you a taste:

I like the environment, I’m against animal testing, against hunting, against factory farming (and as a result, against eating meat), for abortion, for euthanasia, (inclusively for all forms of suicide. I say “it’s your life, end it at your discretion”), distrustful of law enforcement, distrustful of the government, not a Christian, for gay marriage, against the war in Iraq, distrustful of Intelligence operations, against the PATRIOT Act, destest the man who calls himself our president, against Social Security Privitization, against authoritarian governments, yet for many government social programs including limiting business growth and management.

I’m a pickle, I am. Yet, I believe I’m right (big whoop, eh? Everyone believes they’re right). Go ahead, ask me anything: I’ll give you a perfectly eloquent response as to why I believe the way I do. But fiiiiirst, let’s play a game. You tally up all of the points you agree with me with, then tell me your score. For instance, I’d get 19, because, conceivably, I agree with everything I say I believe.

I’d be surprised if anybody got above a 15… My views are sometimes too radical for the establishment.

Update (1:30 a.m.) — I’m also straight edge without the label (i.e. no alcohol, no drugs, no cigarettes, no meat, and no more sody-pop). If you think that’s lame, I think you’re lame… also addicted to things that only hurt you. You humans are silly sometimes.
