:: Closing Time ::

:: Thursday, August 15, 2002 ::

This is the first blog I haven't written because of how other people will react. Not because people will dislike me for it or anything but because I know some of you will manage to be as fucking stupid as you have before and judge my writing not on the actual words I use and the sentences I shape, but on the subject matter. Very rarely do my friends piss the hell out of me more than when they seem to try and deny my right to an honest, grounded opinion.

This was going to be a post about the honest upside, along with the reality. Then I realized that those of you who are fucking stupid weren't worth the trouble of having to deal with. Don't ask me what I was talking about unless you are one hundred percent sure you're not the one being fucking stupid, or ready to hear that you are. Because I'm -not- going to discuss this subject with you, I'm just going to tell you that I won't discuss it with you. Because there are some arguments even I don't think are worth it, even on principle. Some people are too fucking dumb/stubborn about certain things to get it.

Well, the incompetance of the quasi-mass has finally managed to silence the honesty of my blog.

I almost feel like this is where I should stop blogging. And then, I consider writing out the WHOLE story AND the names of the fucking idiots who have judged me on subject and not content.

Then I calm down. And realize your stupidity is no reason to change the way I've been living, and blogging. Believe it or not people like Lauren Rich and Betsy Littlefield, who most of you would see me as having virtually nothing to do with in a game of six degrees of separation, are worth more to me than those of you who try and castrate my opinion. At least as far as this blog is concerned - this blog is SOLELY those opinions, the kind some of you seem to think I don't deserve. For the people who care to read them. For some of you, this blog is not for you.

And now that I'm calming down a bit and getting back to honesty, for those of you who it IS for - for all the good friends who've been able to disagree with me on certain subject and ADMIT DIFFERENCE IN OPINION, you are the truly open minded spirits who help me get by in life. Another great character trait most of my friends have, and that I thank you for. And the rest of my audience - the people I'm not that good friends with, yet who still read my blog despite the fact that I guarentee we disagree on some things (if we don't, we should probably be friends) and yet still want to read, you too I thank. Because you also keep an open mind and value individuality.

You are worth it.

Others are not.
