This life is garbage.

Postby JP84CE1 » Tue Mar 20, 2012 2:20 am

Let me put pen to paper, or fingers to keys, and I will elucidate my every though in a coherent manner that would at least leave you with the impression that I wasn't mentally or intelectually inept.

Call on me to speak off the cuff, or casually engage in so-called small talk or "chat", and I will feel lost. Every second demands the proper word and thought, right then and there. I will cave, and you will walk away thinking I am stupid.

Society won't judge me by what I write; they will never read it. It is only those daily verbalizations by which I will be judged.

The wastefulness of this life might be a boon if it wasn't for the ritualistic pain.

You might want to speak proper English for a start, and maybe then your outlook on life will improve.

Proper English? His English was fine, great matter a fact. That's how English is suppose to sound. I dont think any of us live on the street, none of us are representin, and i doubt any of us are gangbangers. Its refreshing hearing someone speak educated and not like they are from the hood. I wish more people would use a dictionary instead of relying on slang to talk.

I get tired hearing badonkadonk and the like.

I read nothing that was incoherent; what is this proper english that you speak of?

To JP84CE1; if someone refuse to take the time to understand what has been said or would rather judge you as stupid without knowing the facts then they are the one with the problem, not you. I hate how everyone is expected to act and speak a certain way and anything less means that person is slow or retarded. Everyone is different thus should be treated accordingly.

May I suggest for you to surround yourself with those who will see the potential in you for your abilities and actions rather than your poor social skills and speech. This has worked brilliantly for me since much of the time I cannot verbalize my thoughts coherently or in a timely fashion. My ability to perform my job is irrefutable, even when my words could suggest otherwise. Just let your actions speak for you and to hell with anyone who thinks less of you for whatever reason.

Totally agree with EBR and zausel (this may sound a little lazy, but it's not meant to be).

The written word can be as strong if not stronger than the spoken one: the spoken word is transitory, while the written one is not. This is the case for my current employment, and my ability to write clear and logical English is considered a strength. Ask me a question outright though, and chances are, I will fumble for an answer unless it's in my specialist subject ;)

Good English is under-rated IMHO.

What do you mean there's nothing wrong? I had to use a dictionary for every word he said, and I still didn't understand.

Good luck talking like that in public.

Well then, it would seem as if your vocabulary is lacking, which ultimately implies that you are the source of your problem...

The source of the problem is always someone else.

Lol, it usually is. That reminds me of something a narcissist might say :wink:
