I just caught up here, this was a classic post and well played, glad someone nailed 'er… 
I agree. This was a pretty brilliant concept, one that should be continued in its own thread perhaps.
Good shit.
Holy shit I just got it. 
I thought the last line was just thrown in there for a bit of comic relief. Well done, sir, well done.
What is this? I mean seriously…is this an actual show or is someone just trying to fuck with us?

i just finished a summer school course a week ago. it was an art class and i realized my teacher is exactly where i want to be in life when i am 28. i want to be teaching college kids either art or english, so i have decided to dedicate myself to art and english now…art first then english…it’s weird because this teacher, simply because of her mannerisms and presence and help, has done something no one in my 20 years of life has done- she has given me total confidence to achieve whatever i set my mind to. this may just be me being young and ignorant, but i feel since my family has already supported me that as long as i am dedicated i can achieve this goal and become successful at teaching in the upper realm of education or become and artist. my teacher told me something no one else has, which is that after undergrad she had to baby sit and work at grocery stores and do shitty jobs, yet during that time it gave her the chance to pay her dues, truly dedicate herself to her craft, so i want that to happen to me and i plan to keep in touch with her. i guess grad school art programs want to see that. this is the first time in my life i have ever felt confident about where i am heading and also confident that i can make it no matter how much it sucks. it’s weird but this is the first time i’ve felt confident about my hobby and my ability to dedicate myself fully to it. i want to keep in touch with her and keep having her help me learn about art. she moved back to chicago and only taught for a month in vermont because she wanted to chill there during the summer, but im going to keep in touch with her and hope for her support, because it’s weird but she is the first human to radiate confidence, success, and encouragement purely to me. ( i feel her presence radiates that to everyone, but she is the first person i have observed that from.) i know it sounds bizarre, but i haven’t told anyone this and thought i would tell you guys, but i have met the first person i believe in and who has given me the confidence to believe in myself.
^Nothing bizarre…I had the same kind of prof in college…he changed my life.
awesome man! good luck on that. i had a high school english/drama teacher that was like that. and she was cute and listened to the spin doctors in class.
Just got back from my grandmothers funeral. She was one of only 3 people to truly love me (the other 2 being my mother and grandfather). I don’t want to be a downer so the only thing I will say is this: I loved her too. Rest in peace.
^You and yours are in my prayers…sorry man.
sorry to hear that man, it’s hard losing people like that.
Adam, sorry to hear about your grandmother. Sounds like she gave you something incredibly valuable, something you will fall back on and share for the rest of your life. And every time you do, she will live through you and make this existence a better place. Be proud of that always. Be close to that always.
atom. may she r.i.p. it is always hard to loose a loved one. dont worry she is in a better place, and like fone said, knowing that you will carry on her love and good will is the best thing you can do. feel better man. and remember she will always love you.
Bouncin’ off the walls… I dunno if I can sleep tonight. LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!!
I. Fucking. Love. Pizza.
A conversation with a friend just led me to think about why we have yet to see corporate war sponsorship as we have in every other aspect of our life. With all the billions of dollars these shenanigans over in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing us, why don’t some Fortune 500 companies step in to offset costs? Just think: Bank of America battlefield, the Ronald McDonald Army, Fort Macy’s, the Battle of Starbucks, Pepsi Air Force Base. Tanks decorated like Nascar vehicles. Nike symbols woven into camouflage patterns. Possibilities are practically endless.

That might not actually be a bad idea. I mean the logos on the equipment at least. Companies who pour money into advertising might actually spur innovation in the latest and greatest military technology. They would want their name on the best there is, and if they’re willing to pay for it, there may be more money to be made in technological advancements. 
I doubt it would ever fly though…
^i think family in general is draining! My in-laws just left and while I do like them, I can’t say I was sad to see them go. Holt’s dad gets downright crochety for seemingly no reason and HE TALKS NONSTOP. I’ve never seen a human talk so much. It’s unreal. He darts off into so many asides that you never even know what story he’s talking about.
This weekend was their anniversary and we tried to take them out to dinner. Holt’s dad is gluten intolerant, so we figured our favorite restaurant would be perfect for him since it had several options for his needs. He bitched cause there was no meat (vegetarian restaurant). He bitched that the veggies weren’t cooked enough (he also has diverticulitis). He bitched for 10 minutes about it to his middle son who was on the phone about it in front of me like I couldn’t hear him talking. Then told me he didn’t hate it. That he just has a weird stomach. It’s one thing to have a legit reason you can’t eat the food, but he was outright flaming the whole restaurant. I just wanted to cry. Luckily I got a really bad headache and had to go to bed early. I felt like I ruined their anniversary. The whole time he said he would have been happier at Outback Steakhouse where they had a gift certificate to. Outback, are you fucking serious? He bitches about chains! But that’s all he’ll eat it, lol.
So yeah, after they left, I was pretty sick of family.
