I rock, therefor you suck.

okay, I am a little defensive about my lack of education. I was wearing my "I Knit Therefore I Rock" shirt and a couple got into the elevator and was reading the shirt. "Thats not the original quote is it?" "Descartes might have rocked, but I don't know if he knit" Then I got my pronunciation of Descartes corrected... Yes, thanks. I love being

Justin, you do know that you rock, right? I mean, you're the only person I know who can pick up any instrument and figure it out in about 15 minutes, and you can take things apart and put them back together in awesome ways. You should just say "Oh yeah? do you know what YO or K2together means? Do you have the skills to make your own clothes if you were ever on a deserted island? Huh? No, I didn't think so you pretentious twit!

In post analysis I think I put them on the defensive attack by having challenging hair, a shirt that proclaims something they would not expect for their gender rolls and an intimidating large spool of cable.

Except for my readers knowledge of philosophy and the money to afford a condo in the Harbor I am their superior and they knew it.

elevator couple: desdouche.ay.

I have this rule about commenting. Don't write anything you wouldn't say to someone's face. This couple is the height of douchebaggery. Were they young or old? Old is just probably stupidly trying to make small talk and failing miserably. Young, they're snarky a$$holes who should stay anonymous on the internet.

A condo in the Harbor is probably not worth much right now if that makes you feel any better. Money is not a good yardstick of achievement. Doing and Achieving are.

I happen to have Rene Descartes here with me right now, and he says they were probably trying to impress each other; each of them felt awkward about your disarmingly complex appearance and felt obliged to say something clever about it, a way of reclaiming the situation by asserting that they know who Descartes is as a way of defending themselves against the fact that they can't knit, have lame hair, and feel thoroughly at the mercy of people who understand their computer hardware better than they do.

Okay, all that sounded a lot better in the original French; I had to run it through Google Translate. Plus I think Rene's high on something; he just keeps staring at this fly buzzing around the room. He's a weirdo. I wish he'd get a job and a place of his own.

I miss pronounce all sorts of names. That's more a product of being self-educated about some things. I'm the least formally educated member of my family... though I'm going to guess the most well-read.

Don't let snooty people get you down. They know the most famous quote from the most famous European philosopher. Big woop.

don't put descartes before the horse.
