Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck

[zenmondo]

So I have been emotional, angry, upset, and just all around angsty over the recent actions of two joketards (though one of the two, I am seriously concerned about his mental health). Becasue of who I am, it affected me deeply. I am a sensitive kind of guy. That's probably not gonna change anytime soon.

But I have decided on a course of action when it comes to my expression in this journal:

I am changing nothing.

I am not going to let the actions of a couple people with too much passion and too little understanding to dictate how I treat this continuing project of mine. I am not going to a friends-only format -- nothing personal to those that chose that route, but I think it would suck for me.

The assurances from my friends here have assured me that those that think ill things of me are not only in the minority, but are also seen by those I trust as OBVIOUSLY wrong. I am a good guy. It is central to my character. I think that I try so very hard to be good, that when someone sees me as evil, I get very upset. I could stand being less-than-good, or mediocre, karmicly neutral, and maybe even occasionaly bad, but EVIL? No joking way.

So what happens next time someone gets offended over something they IMAGINE I said? What happens when someone reads way too much of their own shit and hang-ups over something innocenty uttered here? I will still get angry and pissed, but I will joke 'em.

I'm gonna joke this bitch, I'm gonna joke that bitch, I'm gonna joke anything that moves!!!

So are you easily offended?

Are you gonna make an issue about it with someone who is a decent, nice, and all around good guy?

Fine. STOP READING NOW. Seriously. Anyone can still read my journal. I will probably add you back if you add me as a friend. But if you have a tendancy to get upset at nice people like me, and feel the need to make me upset back, please don't bother. Just don't. I am a popular guy, and you will come out looking like an ass.

As of right now, there are 140 people that suppossedly read this journal (I am certain the real number is much less) I would like that number to continue to increase, but if you fit the paragraph above, and remove me now, I won't shed many tears. I know that you are quitting my journal out of a motivation of sparing me more grief, and that's love. Thank you.

Yeah... if comprehension when reading eludes them, or if they are reading non-existent things in what you've written, then they shouldn't be reading.

They should probably box up their computer and send it back to the manufacturer, while they're at it. Egads.

Yeah, this latest one, I dunno man. At first, I thought he was kidding/satirizing with that comment. But, apparently he was having some kind of paranoid panic attack and forgot to engage the "proofread before posting" filter.

After that beautiful speech up there...

I'm adding you.

And I'll be one of those people who actually does read it.

Cheers and props,

Aly

always loved that expression :D

"I am not going to a friends-only format -- nothing personal to those that chose that route, but I think it would suck for me."

Thank you. Friends-only sucks. I'll never understand it. You're more diplomatic than I. If the whole world was friends-only then what a sad world it would be. Continue being you, because well, it pleases me :)

Joke 'em all and let someone else clean up the mess.
Seriously, no need to let some motherjoker joke your whole day/week/month/life up....
I enjoy what you write, even if I don't comment very joking often...
Keep up the good work.
