its funny when you see people that you hadn't seen since grad. it's funny because if you hadn't seen them since grad generally you had no desire to see them ever again. good ol' fox and hounds on a monday night.
"hey!!! hows it going?"
"good"
"so what are you doing?"
"school, and finals gettign ready to work for the summer in kanaskis blah blah blah."
"i just go hit up by my pimp ho boyfriend and moving in with him etc.."
"cool, that must be exciting"
"yeah and kinda scary. because he's been convicted of murdering 5 people including his grandmother"
"yeah i bet"
and the small tlaks goes on, and on and on.
doe sit ever end? do people actually like small tlak like this? do they like tlaking about nothing? why even acknowledge eachother's existence? why must i stop and tlak to people and that is friendly where as being honest and true to myself would have come off like an asshole.
the fact is i don't like tlaking about myself, nor do i like tlaking to someone about their life, or their jobs or what they did on the weekend or where they are moving.
it's fucking pointless. when you hear two people go at for more than 5 minutes with this pointless chit chat conversation you just want to stab one of them in the chest, not because you are a psycho, but because you needed a conversation or event that had slightly more meaning. which is where the knife to the chest comes in. and i mean whats more emaningful than someone gasping for life?
really... boring conversation with your aunt? nuclear explosion! bam! now you are talking. that'd be a great way to start a movie. thats what made sin city so awesome two people seducing eachother with boring film noir dialogue and bam silenced shot to the chest. (i actually love film noir dialogue but i'm going for emphasis rather than personal opinion)
to be honest talking about observed truths or opinions is what actually makes a conversation interesting... tlaking about myself or what someone else is doing with their lives is really a waste of time, i could care less if someone won the lottery unless it affected me in some way.
so i poll my readers
what do you do? do you come off like an asshole and take off abruptly or do you try to come off like a nice guy and drone on in the misery of these play by play conversations?
"do you realize that interest rates are the lowest they have ever been?"
me "yes"
"well the banks have loaned out all this money to people who can just barely afford to make their monthly payments on their houses, and do you know what the bank is gonna do?"
me "no idea"
"they are gonna jack up the interest rates to screw all these people who otherwise couldn't afford these homes which are much too expensive for them, and thats where we will come in."
me "uhhh really?"
heh funny stuff
summ up my day
school sucks
i hate people
4:20 licks elephant testicles
i'm the king of an overly fake laugh and smile
and i feel dirty when i lie

its fairly pompous and misguided to think that talking about certain geopolitical events or other world issues is superior than talking about nothing at all.
Time is time. If you were so worried about not wasting it doing pointless shit you wouldn't keep a blog.

sigh...
the geopolitical events and etc.. that you are referrign to joel is a conversation on monday i had with one of everyones favorite twins from highschool. i thought it was so ridiculous that everyone would catch on that i was making fun without have a a big border around it saying "THIS IS FUNNY PLEASE LAUGH NOW".
fact is banks don't raise interest rates so that people can default on their loans... despite the rumour.
and this use of time is different. it's not meaningless awkward conversations, where neither person really cares what the other is doing. instead this site is a prodcutive use of my time, due to the fact that i get to vent my frustration witht he world without punching you in the kidenys. i think you of all people can appreciate that fact with that newly acquired knowledge.

which may be the reason for confusion

you see what I do when I'm at a bar is I say hi, minimal pointless banter, then say I have to take a piss or meet someone, or anything. That way your not being a cock and your out of the conversation. The fox is tricky though, with the sitting and whatnot, I usually entertain the dumbasses that enjoy the pointless talking. Its better than not talking at all, which I've done before too.

But if you really didn't care about their lives you wouldn't care if they thought that you were an asshole, so that's why you should just ignore them, like you do a certain individual whose name happens to start with an "R."
I think I mostly just pull the asshole routine. Because I just don't care if they think I'm an asshole.

Hey Duncan, I get home next Saturday, don't ask me how my semester was, I don't want to waste your time with the useless chit chat.
Here's a serious topic tho, are you really gay? or do you just pretend to be gay so that other people don't waste there time with small chit chat, and can talk about how much you love men.

i think you guys missed the point between people i never see from highschool and rarely spoke to them in highschool, and people i consider friends and am genuinely interested in their life as they are mine...
thats the difference
