That Did It!!! I'm Rubber, You're Glue
| So today I came on to U4Prez and read a blog that was an open letter to Eric Gurr. I am not quite sure where this open letter went. I stopped reading it when I came to the point where the author wrote….”I am sick of reading Erock’s and Kempites blog, they overblog”. The remark was a backhanded slap that at first stung. It initially compelled me to write the following comment: “You big ol' oaf. I'm sick of the New York Times. Does that mean it should stop being printed? Well yeah it does, but that is besides my point. I simply don't buy it. If you don't like what I write....DON'T READ IT, YOU DUMBASS! And just so you know, I stopped reading all of your useless crap after you posted the entire healthcare bill and crippled the site with it. This one, I stopped reading once you mentioned my name. I am not a patient person. Two chances are a lot for me to offer and I don't offer more than two chances, so in my book "yer out" buddy. Now run along and quietly go play with yourself” And then I got a phone call that I had to take. Twenty minutes later, I looked at what I wrote before I hit “enter” and just as my finger flinched, I pulled back and said to myself ….you know what, don’t do that. It helped me realize that it is often better to let a few moments pass before one react. But my change of mind was also due to the fact that I had resolved to try to get more enjoyment out of U4Prez than I may have in the past. This sense of pleasantry has come over me as we approach the holidays. I love the holidays. As I told someone else on U4Prez, I love the spirit of it and everything from all its tastes to all of its sights, scenes and scents and sounds. I have not really been able to enjoy the season that much these past few years. A lot of unfortuinate drama developed during the previous two years and this past year I was away too much dealing with the primaries to enjoy it. This year is different. I am broke and it will be a Charlie Brown Christmas but I want to make the most of the upcoming holidays. That can’t be done by harping on hate and half-assed remarks. Well the same applies to U4Prez. I find that I can often enjoy the chat of candidates like SRobien and Lucky or others who I do not always agree with. It is just a matter of keeping things in perspective. That is something that I often allow my passions for policies to make me forget. Well not this year. This year I am going to do my best to not act in-kind, but instead act better. I am going to do my best to ignore stupidity and obvious lacks of reasoned thinking. If people are not reasonable, they are not likely to accept reason. So why try to offer reason with such people? I will do my best to ignore such conduct and characteristics, when they are demonstrated. So I didn’t stoop down to FnG’s level. I didn’t act like a Liberal411 or an Imagine89. Instead I didn’t send that comment that I originally intended to post as a comment. No, instead I turned it into a post and decided to try to maintain my holiday spirit(and still get mt feelings off my chest..lol). Goodwill can be more powerful than ill will. It is also more productive. And that is what I hope to be during this coming year on U4Prez-------more productive. I know I am not getting elected to anything. Therew are too many FnG-like haters out there. But the winning lasts for a moment whereas the campaign to win or lose lasts longer, and it is that campaign that I intend to have fun with and hopefully advance my opinion with. This year there seems to be a strong sense of resolve to advance the effectiveness and popularity of U4Prez. I join in that resolve and I hope to be able to enjoy the efforts that our resolve will cause us to join in. Oh, I am sure that some knucklehead will force someone on the site to have to remind me that I wrote this blog and how I claimed I wanted to be. But I will do my best to remember that those who would bring me to such a point, are not worth the walk in the gutter that I have often taken because of those who sought to wallow in it. Instead I look forward to working with all of you. The decent, strong willed candidates who are as passionate about the issues as I am and who understand that productivity propelled by pleasantries goes much further than the negative naybobs of negativism that pop up and poop on our parade. Happy Holidays, Y’all |
