Opinions.

I haven't said much lately.
But that's because nothing has made me mad enough... I've been spending my angry time just antagonizing people on facebook.
People love to argue when I insult what they like, as if my opinion has any real value to anyone other than myself.
As if, because I think a: show, movie, band, sports team... sucks, or they suck for liking it they are legitimately losing value.
Fuckin dipshits.

It's funny, as someone who blogs and shares their opinion... I don't give a shit about ANYBODY else's opinion. I think, there are maybe 5 or 6 people I listen to, and that's only concerning select topics among them.
Anyway... so say I mention I like something and someone puts it down, that's the end of the conversation.
Am I going to argue?
No, there's no point... I like it, they don't... it's something we don't have in common end of conversation.
For example.
I still like the comedian Dane Cook. A lot of other people don't like him anymore... because he was popular. (So fuck people who suggest I rip things cause they're popular... I rip things cause I hate em, and it just so happens I hate a lot of shit.)
Anyway, so I'll throw in a Dane Cook joke... and listen to like a 5 minute rant.

"Oh man, he's so overrated, he's not funny at all... blaaaahdy blaaahdy blah."
First of all... most of the time these people are lying. I can recall 3 people off the top of my head who have given me this speech... and I know they like him, I've heard them quote him... so they're fucking, trendy faggots.
Secondly of all... where does the conversation go from there....
"Oh... I do."
The end?
Shut up.

I plan to go see a movie, I mention it to somebody and I have to hear somebody... "Oh you wanna see that, I think it looks awful."
Oh... I had better cancel my plans then...
Thanks for looking out bro.

No.
You're wrong.
I might be a hypocrite, I share my opinions on here, but... don't give a shit about others. Fuck them.
But I came up with a mentality that saves me from being a hypocrite.

A.) If you're reading this... you do think my opinion has some validity, or at least entertainment value... so it's the same as asking me "John, share your opinions and brilliance with me"
and
B.) I at least entertain with my opinions... other people are boring and stupid when they share theirs. So I have that going for me.

In case I'm one of those three, I'd like to clarify: I still like Dane Cook, it just annoys me that I have to deal with his other rabid, annoying, half-assed fans (and that some of his jokes seem swiped from others' acts)
