I realized the other day that putting inferiors (that's you) in their place with my awesome intellectuality is somewhat hard work..
to that end.. it has been decided that there should be created a pretentious ad-lib.
An example: the (proper noun) school of thought aside, this wine's (adjective)(noun) flavours are overpowered by the(adjective) boquet.
it works for when it's obvious that the nincaput you're only half listening to is in desperate need of your opinion on whatever topic he's talking about |

as all good things, this comes from the onion:
Remember: Give a man a compliment and you'll sate him for a day; teach a man how to fish for compliments and you'll feed his ego for life. |

It occurs to me that I'm not a true fan.
Listening to radiohead right now, checking out the messege boards on the website and notice how much more into them the posters there are than I. I have underobsessed about lyrics and cannot join in on the random debates on this and/or that.
I love radiohead.. I'm just not in love with radiohead. But it's definitely me, not the band.
I have not read all the lyrics, not listened to every song looking for hidden meanings. In a way this is sad.. yet another thing that adulthood takes away from you.
I once had a conversation with somebody the main thesis of which (I always try to have a thesis) was that the more information you accumulate the smaller each point of information is a percentage of all accumulated at the point. Hence, as we get older we are less and less into the things we are into. Things become "background," unimportant.
Something to think about..
Another thing to think about:
Ever watch something and add completely weird meanings to it? Ferris Buler's Day Off was on tv today and I started seeing it for the parable of political populism.
The movie presents as truggle of two eternal forces. You have a leader giving his adoring subjects the short term pleasures that they desire and his enemies, who present the rational order of things and the status quo, that try to take them down. These enemies who are the voices of rationalism, the sister and the prinicpal, could overcome Ferris if they could only come together. Instead, infighting (she kicks him in the head repeatedly) and general self interest lead them down the roads of incopetency.
Ferris of course gains his shining moment through other's efforts. It is his friend's car that is used as the center of his campaign of the off day and it is the friends that takes the brunt of the effects of his disastrous populism.
I don't really have time to think this theory through as I'm just killing time till the sleeping pills kicks in, but something else to consider:
Ferris=ferrous=iron=stalin |

So I just spent about an hour trying to figure out how to import something from excel. An hour of my life wasted for nothing but a persistent error message that seemed to be toying with my emotions a la "nevermore".
"there must be something i'm doing wrong" i thought.
The problem was fixed by copying and pasting all the data into another excel file. What the fuck is that? That should not solve anything!!! What the hell could have been the problem in the first place if that's what solved it? I want that hour back. |

Gravity is just a theory. I propose that as such we should put a label on textbooks used in the south declaring this. Perhaps, we can only hope, gravity will be taught at equal level with other theories maybe even not taught at all. Once people stop believing in this unverified theory they'll obviously simply float away and the rest of us will have our fucking country back.
this is fucking rediculous:
