I'm just a guy with pens. Sometimes I tumbl things, these are those things.
Today, someone tweeted that they hate May 24ᵗʰ. Not that this May 24ᵗʰ has done anything particularly wrong to them yet. I’m assuming some other May 24ᵗʰ probably has. At least I hope this friend doesn’t blindly hate every May 24ᵗʰ. I’m sure she has known at least one nice May 24ᵗʰ and is just forgetting about that day. This all, of course, seems very silly to me. It might be because I don’t ever know what day it is and if I did, I probably wouldn’t remember to hate it next year if it were bad to me.
If someone died on a day and you want to remember them by being sad, that’s fine. I can understand and empathize with that, but being angry at a day (even if someone died on it) is fucking stupid.
A day in intangible and it can’t hurt you. There is no reason to let a series of seconds form into some psychological barrier that keeps you from feeling good. We only have a limited amount of seconds and to let some of them be angry just because it’s “that time of year” is a disservice to your own mortality.

I’ll add an eleventh rule: “Don’t be upset when they don’t make things for you all the time. The nice things they say and do for you are the art they make for you. Don’t take it for granted just because it’s intangible.”

That’s only one exclamation mark, not two. Really, who has an exclamation mark at the end of their business’ name? ↩
Let it be know that on the fourteenth of May twenty-thousand-and-thirteen in the years of our Toffer, that two liberal men of thought understood their sexuality completely, for at least a moment.
John Gabriel’s Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory is incorrect and has been proven so by Facebook. My theory is as follows: Person + Ability to respond to something immediately without seeing the other person’s reaction in real time = Total Fuckwad. The audience component can exaggerate the Fuckwadity, but is not necessary for a person to be a total fuckwad.
Maybe I should stop using amazon so much…
