In Almost No Time

I was going to write about this, but i feel shitty. Yay facebook.

I come across as an asshole alot. It kinda sucks, but i try not to mind because i really do think that things are true or funny. But then i realized that other people can tell the truth or be funny and not be considered an asshole for doing so. I think alot of it has to do with my generally uneducated nature and my ability for being extremely inarticulate.

Sometimes, in order to not feel stupid, I back a side of an argument or whatever. Doesnt matter what. But generally i have no idea what im talking about. when people think i sound stupid, which i am, i have to defend myself so i dont seem even more stupid when its revealed that i have no idea whats going on. that usually leads to me making irrational arguments or me just being an asshole. theres number one.

when i finally do know whta im talking about, i speak too much like a 4th grader to communicate my idea properly. case in point, the last two entries. i upset a couple people with those posts, and even though they sound really horrible, i think alot of the things in it tend to be very true, especially here in sb. but the simple fact is that im too inarticulate to get these ideas across to you guys. its really too bad.

i thought about it, and the only times i can present a viable argument in which i dont sound like a dumshit or an asshole, is when i talk about myself or running. i can tell everybody what i feel, the way i see things, the way i process information etc. that is, if my mind allows me to put the correct words together. and then running. i think after 4 years of running nonstop i have a bit of an idea what im doing and what other people are doing. so fuck prutz his workouts are bullshit. and so is his overall coaching. but yea.

so my point is that if you want to argue or communicate your idea, you gotta be knowledgable on the subject and you gotta be articulate if you want people to a)take you seriously b)not get offended c)not kick your ass.
