on the street while I was walking at lunch to my little lunch place. He looks good. Rudddddddeeeee! I heart Rudy. That law firm Bracewell & Giuliani...is in that vicinity...I think Giuliani and Partners might be a few blocks over.

I even confirmed it with the shoeshine dude I was like "hey was that Rudy?" he was like "yup"

He didn't make me think. I don't think he's ever made me think about anything. I just dismiss him as pompous drivel.

Sometimes I think I should be more open-minded, but I generally get over that pretty quickly.

I would like to say that this post did not make me think, but unfortunately it did make me concentrate on retaining my stomach contents, so I guess that is thinking of a sort.

Dear Mr. Flower:

He causes you to look at something you hadn't considered. He causes you to reconsider assumptions you've made about something. He causes you to consider a viewpoint and observation you previously hadn't. This cumbersome explanation is colloquially referred to amongst the less formal as "making you think."

I will note in the future that you prefer a more formal correspondence, and endeavor to provide same. My apologies for late responses in advance, as they will take some time.

My best wishes of happiness to you and your family this holiday,
Sebastian Aloisius Dangerfield

Dear Mr. Flower:
Please cut Sebastian some slack. Each year he provides hundreds of pro bono hours helping individuals who have terminal psoriasis and helping organizations that assist individuals who have terminal psoriasis. The troubles, and hence his efforts, pick up in the Winter.

Yours,

YMMV.

So he says shit he doesn't really believe in just to fuck with people? Why pay for that, when you can read Ty's PB posts for free?

He writes odd shit, often offensive shit, in a backhanded styled that confuses some readers and annoys people who want him to come out and take a position.

I dislike linear writing. I'd rather be left to select any of a handful of meanings one could take away from a song/article/book.

Some people prefer more direct explanation in the stuff they read. I have to do that a lot at work, so I avoid it at all costs in non-work reading/writing.

Last night I had a dream in which Hank and I were having a torrid affair. Disclosure -- I was kinda tipsy when I went to sleep.

There's a Bukowski story about a guy and his wife. The guy works at some crappy job. The wife stays at home, and tries to write poetry. She goes to open readings, and workshops, but her work sucks.

The guy gets pissed because she doesn't clean the house or cook. He comes home from work, the place is filthy and there's nothing to eat, and he doesn't give her credit that she has put her time into her "craft." The story mocks her efforts. He quotes her saying that her poetry is why she can't do the housework, and that she finds the housework deadly to her soul, but he shoots that down by comparing how much more deadly to the soul the guy's life sucking factory job is.

He stakes out a point and sticks with it. I wouldn't call it linear, I'd call it honest.

If your guy had drank more, he'd write the story, without the woman making her argument in the middle. It would come at the end, and the guy would realize she is probably right.

I don't recall mocking any pants. Don't feel bad -- I mock a lot.

I don't think you looked like your avatar or like your real self, but I don't really remember what you looked like.

What an ass. She really is ignorant for her Chinese Comment.

I expect that type of shit from an uneducated wife beater wearing buffoon not her.

She just seems like if someone dare make a gay/lesbian she'd be all over them like a rash, but Asians "should just calm down" "it's no big deal"

asshole. And yeah, Rosie that Boy George broadway thing? bad move. duh. box of rocks that one is.

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.
