a mirror
You know, I'm sitting here on the forty-second floor of an apartment building in Chicago in lodging that is worth more than my house and yet is about a seventh the size. I'm sitting next to a window with a coffee and a computer looking out onto the street. All it takes is to be at a height of seven stories or more to turn one's internal organs to liquid upon impact of a free fall. From this height you would probably have about six seconds to enjoy weightlessness before the light bulb burned out. A very cleanly quick end with results that are less than so.
I'm thinking on something I just posted. Well, two complete entries I posted today and although the implied tone of my writing may imply remorse, I do not regret what I have posted but am simply trying to consider why. I meant everything I posted but I still study over the purpose. Anthony and Kevin, you may dislike me now or you may respect me less. I don't see you anymore so I can't say that bothers me but I didn't mean to seek conflict. We may have each had our differences before this point as I'm certain we have, but I want to make it clear that I felt it was an amazingly immature way that Anthony presented his story. Since I have found stories from each of you to be more embellished and over dramatized, in my own opinions in the past, I was in no way compelled to take this seriously.
If you honestly had thought you were close to your demise, I would have lamented on your behalf since there are few other people in the world I would rather enjoy pushing off a forty-second story banister than drunk drivers. However, since I concluded your story to be of a less than serious nature I spoke out in a manor I felt suitable. Now, I still think less of you for saying what you did in the manor you did. You reported your story in a way that suggested positive notions of toughness born of a situation which one can only hope you did nothing to bring about. On such a topic I would have no degree of amusement in the manor of sarcasm.
Kevin, Your comment defiles and negates the opinions and mental comprehension abilities of every sixteen year old person. The vagueness of a generality often makes people seem ignorant and I know you as more than that, or at least, I did.
I have seen very frequently the result on both sides of multiple on-line quarrels. I want it to be made known, again, that I am seeking no fight or conflict with this. I only spoke out against commentary I felt was a horrible misjudgment of a potentially disastrous situation in which many people have in fact lost their lives in less than "tough" ways. I felt that the wording used was less than appropriate/mature as I felt was his response. Perhaps my first comment proved a bit immature in its own nature, but I felt that my less than supple words were adequate to express my disaffection of the accounts.
Nonetheless, I feel that perhaps I shouldn't have commented to begin with. It very well may not have been my place. I only spoke as I did since the issue weighs heavily in my opinions.
I still think you're an asshole.
I still think you're a drama queen.
...and I'm sure you both believe I'm just a prick who doesn't deserve (or care about) your respect. I guess based on both of your reactions and the way you conducted your comments following, I find it hard to believe you would have respected me to begin with. I'm assuming none of us care.
