Comments on: What Is and What Should Never Be http://christiancamerota.com/2007/09/29/what-is-and-what-should-never-be/ Thu, 12 Feb 2009 19:23:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: CAC http://christiancamerota.com/2007/09/29/what-is-and-what-should-never-be/#comment-6 CAC Thu, 04 Oct 2007 22:04:07 +0000 http://christiancamerota.wordpress.com/2007/09/29/what-is-and-what-should-never-be/#comment-6 Think nothing of it, sir. And I greatly appreciate the compliments on the writing...though I'd say, by and large, that they are undeserved. I wish I were half as eloquent as you suggest. On the other hand, my ape suit makes up for it. And, yes, it is somewhat musky and warm in here. But, it's a small price to pay to look this good. Thanks for reading. Think nothing of it, sir.

I was just trying to express how your words really hit a nerve. I probably should have just said as much and left it at that. But you nailed it - I'm weird. That being said, you're very eloquent and I appreciate good writing. Kudos to you. Isn't a little hot and uncomfortable in that suit? Yeah, a bit weird, I guess.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I guess. And the whole microchip in your body thing was a little weird, but that's ok. We're all a little weird, aren't we? I mean, seriously. I'm wearing a full-body ape suit as I write this. Budweiser, huh?

Although we have never met, I feel compelled to respond and ask if you have been monitoring my thoughts? It's as though you have secretely implanted two microchips into my body, one which records the firing of each and every synapse in my brain, the other tracking every fiber of my soul. And then you somehow put into words precisely what it is I am feeling on a daily basis. Or, as you point out, maybe it's simply that we all feel these things but only a handful have the cajones to actually do something about it. Your reference to the BMW and the 2.3 kids really hit home. Okay, so I don't have the Beemer anymore as the 2.3 kids mandated that I trade up for an SUV. (The .3 kid stays in the trunk.) Is this not the dream of the average American? Well, if it's not, I'll bet dollars to donuts that it's pretty damn close. Yet something tells me that you and I are very far from "average," American or otherwise. Never have been. Never will be. That being said, I could write treatises on not practicing what one preaches. You say you're getting close? Please let me know if and when you actually get there. I really am rooting for you. Hopefully I won't be too far behind. Good luck in all of your endeavors. Who knows? Maybe I'll see you off the California coast someday fishing for Blue Fin. I'll be the guy in the obscenely large and expensive Buddy Davis, wearing flip flops a la Buffet, holding a custom rod in one hand - and an icy cold can of good ol' Budweiser beer in the other. Simple pleasures, my friend. Simple pleasures. Glynn This was forwarded to me from a mutual friend.
