So anyways, that killed me. Anyways, it didn’t really bother me that I didn’t get it when I first read it in high school, it really didn’t. Just a whiny kid complaining about a bunch of phonies. So what?
But I’m working on writing my next novel and I’m thinking of it being a Rites of Passage Young Adult novel. All the adults in the world are just pretending. I’m really smooth I get it. They don’t get it, but I do. I really do.
So to get back in the mindset of a teenager that already knows everything, it was refreshing. You see, either everyone you talk to doesn’t know anything, or they only know what you already know so what’s the point of listening to them? But they should listen to me because I’ve got questions about things I don’t understand. Like the ducks in Central Park. Where do they go when the lake freezes over? What do @k00b or @ek or @sn really do with the fees they collect from zaps? I wish someone would listen and answer my questions. “Look at the footer” they’ll say. “The FAQ has the answers to the questions you probably have.”
But what about me and my questions? What if I know I agreed to only pay $5 to have sex with a prostitute, but her handler is asking for $10 anyways? I didn’t even sleep with her for Christ’s sakes. Not that I didn’t want to, I didn’t, but I just wasn’t in the mood. I couldn’t sleep is all. Anyways, my younger brother Allie is dead now.
What am I rambling on for anyways? You probably already lost interest. Everyone does. No one listens to me, except my little sister Phoebe. Our last day together she went on the carousel. I could stare at her for hours. Around and around. Like reading everything @DesertDave or @siggy47 has to say. Around and around. It was like she could stay a kid forever. God, I wish you could’ve been there. To see what they have to say in Alter_Native ~alter_native stacker news territory or BooksAndArticles ~BooksAndArticles stacker news territory
It’s a subset of a subset. Not just Bitcoiners with low time preference. But with ones who have something to say, and people who will zap if they listened.
I hope you listen to me and reread Catcher in the Rye too. It killed me.
