Drama of the Day!

Post by Tancorix » Tue Jan 25, 2005 9:44 am

So you think you have some drama going on? Rather than spread it across all the threads let everyone know about it right here. It's a wide open thread, have at it.

See, that is the perfect thing about my life ... no drama ... ever! I NEVER have any drama at all, everything is always smooth and perfect at all times. If there should ever be anything that resembles drama, it is all in my head. My life is perfect in every way.

Okay, T, I've been looking at your blog, and I've gotta wonder what the deal is with your Badger thing. How about a Cliff's Notes version of the genesis of this antipathy?

When I get home and can dig through the archives I'll try to do that. I don't have them with me right now.

Well, I'm glad that I've made my life fairly drama free...

However, what do you do when you see it peeking into someone elses life? You don't want them to deal with it, but you know they won't listen. What do you do then?

make some popcorn, sit back, and watch it unfold.

And after it is over don't forget to shout, "I told you so."

Drama becomes a moot point if you would simply kill all those that oppose you.

Oop. Gotta go. Appointment at the DMV. Now where did I put my gun?

I believe in polyemnity ... the condition that allows you to hate multiple people's guts at the same time. No more serial monemnity for me. Nosirree Bob! If you would like to give that lifestyle a try, you can join the polyemnity tribe here:

I believe drama comes about as a reaction to situations in which people feel powerless over. It increases in direct proportion to the amount or degree of powerlesness that pervades one's life and usually manifests iteself in feelings of victimization, persecuation or visitation by plain old bad luck.

Sometimes bearing witness to the drama of others can be hilarious. At other times it takes on a sad poignancy that reminds you to be fucking thankful for what you have in spite of one's own shortcomings. This is especially true when one bears witness to others who may be standing at the precipice. Such unfortunates are easily identified by mental imparement, delusional behavior, isolation, inability to discern fact from reality, etc. We've all seen 'em and most of us have probably met such people in our lives or are aware of them being in our midst.

Classic.
More of the same from someone who thinks he knows it all. Dr. Badger, professor of Human Psychology. Stick to linear accelerators and spare everyone the psychoanalytics...unless you want to address your own delusionary state.

It's funny but the staff at Walter Reed that evaluated me found absolutely NOTHING wrong with my mental health short of stress. I guess you were able to diagnose something that 8 different government shrinks couldn't find. And they were in the same room as me, you're 2000 miles away and doing it from online posts! Congratulations. I'm quite impressed!

Bucket, you scum! You're not worth the slimey water you hold, you worthless fuck. You make me wanna puke with your galvanized humor. How I wish to see you return to your flat-topped planet, never to darken our fair (round-headed) planet again. Ever. You fuck.

Ha ha. Listen to Miss Yuck-Yucks. Listen, if that would've happened, that post would've looked like this:

B-B-B-Bucket, you sc-sc-sc-scum! You're not wo-wo-wo-worth the sl-sl-sl-slimey water you ho-ho-ho (you get the idea...)

Besides, cookiepusss... I hear you're not even real ice cream. You're a big steaming pile of that soft-serve crap, aren't you?

Um, sorry if this may have pushed a particular button.

That wasn't the intent.

What I posted I posted as part of my direct, personal experience. A personal opinion grounded in direct personal experience. Query any reader here and I imagine that they too can offer up a personal story (or two) involving instances in which someone directly a part of their lives or on the orbital periphary of friends/acquaintences has had the same experience.

If it wasn't for me you would just lie around doing nothing.... nothing! do you hear me... the only exercize you get is when you take me jogging, and then you just doing on your back.... you are pathetic!

And you, you little turd shaped piece of flacid flesh, what have you ever done for me? Every fucking decision you've ever made for me has wound up getting me either in trouble, or deeper trouble. And then, and then, the one time in years that I actually get to use you for recreational purposes, what do you do? You go to sleep! YOU GO TO SLEEP!! I'm thinking of calling up Lorena Bobbit and personally insulting her, just so that she will separate your miserable existence from mine...
