What's the big deal about being understood? calybonos: I was sitting somewhat comfortably in my favorite hiding spot from the World when admittedly, not to my surprise, I was "recognized" by a guy dressed in what I can only surmise, what he thought to be his own unique way of differentiating himself from the main-stream, sauntered up to me and said, in a way only those desperately seeking individualism can say: "Hey man, who do you think you are?" I have to admit, that for at least a second, he made me think; Who the Hell do I think I am? Then, as I often do, I completely by-passed the thought processes of those who portray themselves as individualistic, and got busy being who the Hell I am. That being, one who immediately began playing the part I thought I should be playing. That of an opportunistic pig. An absolutely conforming, society soliciting, opportunistic pig. Now, you may ask yourself, just what is the part of an opportunistic pig? You may very well know, or at least think you do, what the part of an opportunistic pig is. You may, on the other hand, be of the inclination to say: " Pigs have no part in human endeavors, and should be eaten, and not heard." So, this guy must have been one of those progressive hipsters, who believes in talking pigs, seeing as how he listened to me for the better part of an hour, either completely oblivious to the fact that I was only having fun screwing with his mind or paralyzed by the thought that he might be labeled as someone who couldn't follow my enlightening elocution. On the other hand, he could have been taking part in some kind of internet challenge which I have not yet been informed of, as the latest way to rage against the machine...and more importantly, to get a lot of Youtube views. Or perhaps he was actually one of those truly unusual types, not caring one way or the other what people think or how many Twitter followers one has. A rare individual who will eventually get tired of the latest manufactured radio hit and pay more attention to their own chaotic symphony. Although that last one is highly doubtful, judging from his amateurish black op attempt to take a selfie with me. I can only hope my practiced eye roll and look of disinterest met with his expectations and approval. So, again, I ask you... Just what is the part of an opportunistic pig? That's not a rhetorical question, people. I really want to know.... I can't rely forever on my looks. But I hope that I can always rely on people to be honest with me. ..even if I am to blame for pushing them to that lonely spot.

Put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both together Put the lime in the coconut, and you'll feel better Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em bot' up Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning coconut by harry nilsson  chronology: Well Caly you know you end each day looking in the mirror listening to Lou Reed's song 'Perfect Day' . You then consider the fine food you have eaten during the day, which you forage for in your private forest and fields. Then it is off to your hay to sleep and dream sweet dreams. next day you wake refreshed and walk out into the morning sunlight, and you trot about in a world populated by people without intellect, without understanding who worship you for the perfect creature that you are. But you always remember the worst nightmare you ever had. The nightmare was about where the world had been taken over by religious nuts who come after you with their faces crazed with hatred screaming Unclean! Unclean!  constitution broken: Hey clay, just noticed your byline and found your subject matter not in keeping with the person I've enjoyed contending with in these many threads...after reading your thoughts this does not sound like the clay I've come to know. I mean you actually used words with more than two syllables in them; though you still need to do do some work on your cognizant thought processes not to mention dropping that self-serving "I am the suffering philosopher crap". Other than that "kudos". However,You sounded more like a drunken Anderson Cooper full of some kinda pills than anything else. Smoke some weed, get some sleep, and come out swing tomorrow...drm. (Edited by constitution broken)  Just Grand: Oh DRM...really? Let's delve a bit deeper. DRM, this one shows one of your posts (I won't post them all) just the one will suffice. just grand's Picture This one shows the same post after your edit 24 hours later. just grand's Picture Good news though, you learned to edit  Just Grand: I wish I had grabbed a screen shot of DRM's original post before he attempted to edit that night. You couldn't even read it, let alone understand it. Calybonos was there. We had a good laugh. constitution broken: Actually Just, I believe those posts are from two different threads, and obviously I should use spell check more often. However the thoughts are concise and the ideas focused, while you're nit picking because you really can't argue the points. You're gonna have to do better than telling me I amused you and clay if you want to get under my skin...obviously I'm getting to you...drm. (Edited by constitution broken) calybonos: To be honest, constipation broken...I hardly even found you worth a snicker But since you now have my attention, at least for a moment, I can't help but wonder why you're here now. My guess would be that it's in response to your mistaken assumption that this thread is about you. If that's the case, then a song might be just what is needed to give your ego the check it needs. Just Grand: Well I found amusement in it. Gotta love it when a spelling Nazi (DRM) comes online and then can't spell themselves  I suppose though, looking back it perhaps wasn't all that funny. constipation broken  constitution broken: Actually it's not your bad spelling that I find so bothersome is your consistent use of the same words over and over again,and yet never uttering more than two sentences or covering a single comprehensive thought. As for my many typo's and occasional misspellings which I don't always catch or bother to rectify; I could blame my arthritis, but I don't use excuses, either way you understand what I'm saying and you have no response, but another video...one of my favorite...always loved Carly...but that's from another lifetime. And JUST BLAND anyone can play with a name, but emoji's, really, and Nazi...all this from some one with no profile, a constantly changing icon, and a childish self image...excuse me while I take a crap...drm. (Edited by constitution broken) constitution broken: That's the difference between my toilet and this forum. When I flush my toilet the crap flows away, but here it just keeps floating around. There are too many childish people incapable of a conversation that does not degenerate into personal & when needed vulgar attacks...drm.
