| | at the end of the day when it all comes crashing down on you and you see this american life as one gag reel after another. intresting books, intresting films, b-sides, hand crafted dark beer, paste magazine, starbucks and how we have the right to enjoy it and make fun of it at the same time (no else is allowed this luxury, by the way) european ciggarettes, subtitles, and anything else that seperates "us" from "them". know that we are someone's "them"...
i am "them" and all elitist behaviour followed by overused gaudy words that are trite and very overused (i.e. "pretentious") make my stomach turn inside out.
if you are pretending to be pretentious drop your sword and run back home, and for those of us who aren't pretending...God have Mercy on us! taking a bow and then running your sword through your middle isn't acceptable either. it's too flashy and you aren't elliot smith or some honourable (stop spelling things this way) warrior. being wrong is part of life.
last night i was wrong about the silliest thing, and my, know it all, midset is killing me softly... i would say that i'm over it by now but i thought of it for way too long last night and it's obviously on my mind right now.
when battling a spouse/jedi bible reading warrior know that the jig is up when you say some outrageous thing that is obviously wrong and your only defense is "so you mean that part of the bible is in red type?" what a schmuck i am. when the tongue gets a flapping it's hard to remember things you learned in the first grade, second grade, third grade, and so on....... my stupid mouth got away from me and i had no defense. for the record john 3:16 is a quote not some retrospective thought by one of jesus' disciples.
i said all that to say that my house of cards gets kicked over too so take me out of limelight. i need to go back to cleaning the stables and doing clowns make-up. this lion taming job is too much for me.
