in as much as i realize i uttered my opinion
quite strongly in my previous post;
[";" ...the semi-colon has always been a mystery to me]
i accept i'm just as fallible as the next joe
having said this, i always try to bare in mind:










the 3 levels of conversation

* people (gossip)
* events (current or personal)
* ideas

discussing current events and ideas requires knowledge
i have recently taken it apon myself to read the paper
and listen to other peeps opinions
tempering that with the adage
"just becuz you have an opinion, doesnt mean youre right"
jsyk
being a newbie to informed conversations,
i still generally just listen
unless of course
i'm drinking stongbow or wild vines [ww avdc]






















as these 3 levels of conversation pertain to my behavior?
i hover in and about #2
and tend toward #3
however once in a blue moon
i am inhumane and stumble into #1

when that happens
i give mice elf shit
and try to do better next time

as these 3 levels pertain to other peeps,
and how i react to them?
it really depends on the amount of venom in their tone
some pass on crass jokes to facilitate acceptance
but others [those fucks i was talking about]
seem to get a perverse thrill
i have time for the first but none the second
...a quote from hoosiers:























"look, mister, there's... two kinds of dumb, uh... guy that gets naked and runs out in the snow and barks at the moon, and, uh, guy who does the same thing in my living room. first one don't matter, the second one you're kinda forced to deal with."
