ok so harold, this old man that plays a lot of tennis and that gives me his crossword every sunday so that i can do the one's he can't get, was here this morning and he was asking me about my life and my studies, and he was basically telling me that philosophy will get me nowhere and that i need to do something else and blah blah blah. and i hate when people say that to me, sooo many people say that to me and it's getting old.
and he just came up to me and said "you know, when you get older, and you go to your husband and say 'Socratically speaking blah blah blah...' he's not going to care, he's just going to say "shut up and make me dinner."
I was just like, "what?!?"
and he's like, "i'm just trying to show you that philosophy doesn't help you in the real world."
which is totally not true AT ALL
and i am just like, in total shock. I was like, "well no he wouldn't say that because he'd know to make his own damn dinner."
and he's rolling his eyes at me and says "well he's a professional." and i was like "yeah, and i will be too."
and he leaves and he says in a joking manner "you should know your place."
but i am just completely offended right now. Like, i used to completely respect Harold. What. The. Fuck.
