I dislike being myself almost all of the time.

But I make the most of it.

That blows my mind.

You are an easy man to like; generous, engaging and open minded.

I personally believe you are a better person than I'll ever be.

I wonder what it is that you dislike about yourself the most? What could you do about it? It's my hunch that you strengthen and empower many of the people around you. I'm guessing that you open many people's minds to more liberal and Christian points of view than they are often presented with. While I haven't followed all your posts here I think you are in some ways playing your cards close to your chest here on Hubski. You seem like you were born a generation ahead of many of your peers and in that way you are a leader.

    I personally believe you are a better person than I'll ever be.

Ha-ha, my good deed of the day yesterday was not beating up a drunken Somali kid that refused to leave my coffee shop.

case in point... I prolly would have kicked the shit out of the kid.

Seriously?

steve  ·  3222 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yes. but that seriousness is what makes everything hilarious.

lil  ·  3222 days ago  ·  link  ·  

My feeble attempts at hilariousness reinforces the seriousness of all we are.

And as Colette Kendall said in her one-woman show "The Cock-Whisperer: A Love Story": "Comedy is tragedy rolled up in a snowball."

Well, I like you and if I'm ever in ... Denver? ... again we're going to have lunch.

I absolutely have times when I do not like myself. It's not for any particular reason, it's just - I was describing it the other day and the best I could come up with is that there are occasionally days where I am just not a fan of myself or anything i am doing or could be doing, really. It's like ennui except there is no excitement that I could find to dispel it.

steve  ·  3222 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I had to look up ennui.

damn all of you smart people.

You are a fabulous and wonderful magnanimous person.

steve  ·  3221 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I see what you tried to do there... but magnanimous is one I actually knew! Ha!
