Braggarts, Poseurs & Snobs

in General Bitching

I couldn’t care less how many blog comments you average, how much money you make, whether you have 16 Ph.D’s, or how much your shoes cost. No one with a life will either. Those things don’t impress me. Those [*taps on your sternum and temple simultaneously*] things do.

I don’t like you because you try too hard to be liked. Or because you’re an asshole. Or a liar. Or you pretend to be something that you’re not. Don’t expect me to try too hard to like you. It comes naturally, or it doesn’t come at all. There are plenty of people that don’t like me. You won’t see me blowing smoke up their asses or talking myself up to change that.

No matter how important you think you are, there is someone more important than you, to just about everyone else. Getting too big for your britches doesn’t do anything for you except cause you need to larger drawers. Put yourself on a pedestal and I’m liable to take a marble hammer to that mother fucker.

If you think I’m talking to you, then I probably am.

Wow.  I think the same thing, M.  I’m worried about you playing with marble hammers though.

I know that you just love me for my competive loom-pot-holder-weaving skills, and I am TOTALLY okay with that.  ‘Cause I love you for your butt. Which is hot, and I don’t care what you say.

Well, I get about ten blog comments,  I make less money than my husband, my shoes cost about $90, … And I rock hard. Deal with it. :)

But, yeah, I know what you mean.

Well, I would have thought you were talking about me, but then you said the part about “getting too big for my britches” and I knew it wasn’t about me at all.

Because I might care too much if people like me, but my britches are definitely the right size.  Umm, did that make sense?

Dude, remind me to never blog and Unisom at the same time, k?

Damnit, you’re totally talking to me aren’t you? I’m neurotic and pathetic and needy and a total comment whore. Gawd Maria, why didn’t you just say it already? Sheesh.
I’ll just go crawl in a corner with a bottle of Patron, a couple of limes and a salt shaker and curl up fetal style. K?

;-)  I make NO money. Even on my ads. I’m so pathetically unread :-) Lurv ya.

P.S.  I love huckdoll. She’s a badass chick. Just sayin’

Damnit.  My britches are too big but it’s not my freakin’ fault.  They somehow keep stretching.  GAW.  For the record, the only PhD I have is in Bullshit…and it wasn’t from an accredited school.  Drats.

II like this.  Very well said.  The biggest lie people live is that of wanting to be someone they are not.  SO much so that they forget who they are.  That is the true sadness of life.  If more people would just be who they are instead of who they think everyone wants them to be then this world would be a bit different.

I just got new shoes…but they’re European and weird looking.  Comfortable though.  And how does one blow smoke up an ass anyway? With a tube? If so, I hope you aren’t using your mouth.

16 Ph.D.s? Good lord, how old is this individual? Are you having an e’squabble with a geriatric

Since I have been inadvertently “shoe shamed,” I will not admit to my shoe price tags.

That post made me laugh. Good one.

Well, I know it’s not about me :) No PHDs, not enough comments to brag about, and I don’t make enough $$ to tell how much my shoes cost! Damn, I wish I knew who it was about, though!
