ABOUT TO END A FRIENDSHIP
I'm about to end a friendship. He's pissed me off for the last time. I've always referred to Joey as my annoying friend because he is the most needy, self-absorbed person I have ever met. Why am I friends with him, you might ask. He hasn't been all bad, everyone having their faults. But I'm tired of him being an emotional leech. I'm tired of him taking things the wrong way and taking everything way too personally. So here's what happened:
I posted a blog on myspace. It was just a rant. I said it irks me when people either 1) post things that are clearly false or 2) are propaganda. I showed what someone had posted, a picture of Obama, Clinton and Richardson in front of an American flag. The poster was railing Obama for not putting his hand over his heart and making references to how his name has Hussein in it (as if that actually means anything) and blahblah. I said "so you can see the problem"-referring to no one in particular, the general "you". Like I'm doing now: you understand, you could be anyone. So anyway I was pointing out how the picture was propaganda and I didn't see why anyone would make a decision for president based on an ambiguous picture that could have been taken right before he raised his hand or whatever.
Then Joey starts trying to point out the fallacies of my post as he says. He wanted to say that I said the picture was clearly false when I later said it was ambiguous. I pointed out that he misread me, I said I didn't like EITHER things that were clearly false or propaganda and that the picture was propaganda. I didn't know why he was trying to pick an argument about a stupid blog entry, as if I were trying to make an airtight argument. He even brought Nietzsche into the discussion, something about truth. So stupid. After messaging back and forth with him I finally realized that he thought the blog was aimed specifically at him and he got mad thinking the "you" personally meant him and I was somehow insulting his intelligence or something like that. And he had the nerve to call me pretentious and say that it was obvious that I hadn't realize how much he's learned and blahblah. Basically, he's an idiot. He takes things too personally then has the nerve to say I assume things about him when I wasn't even thinking about him when I wrote that post. And then he says something about how we haven't talked lately and I must have done 20 million things we need to catch up on. WTF! We talked Sunday. Do I have to talk to you (this you referring to Joey) everyday? Do I need to tell you every little aspect of my life? Want to know when I had my last period? STOP BEING A NEEDY LITTLE PRICK! I'm not your mother or your girlfriend. Not only that, but he expects me to be impressed with all he's learning. I just roll my eyes. I don't claim to know much but I make an active effort to read and write every day. he doesn't. He says he wants to be a writer but he doesn't write. He doesn't even have a job and yet he says he can't find time to write. So what do you expect me to think about that? I am not impressed. I don't think I'm "superior" to him- as he says. That's a charged, petty, passive aggressive move. What I think is I work harder, I'm a better writer, I study more, I know more about the things you are just now studying than you do, Joey. So stop being a little baby. That's all I got to say for now.
Tell me YOU understand why he's got to go.
