I Won't Even Bother Responding or Density-ville Population Ryan

Here is the final email that I will get from him on this, as I see no need in bothering to try to get him to understand anything anymore:

dear lost in yonkers

since neither of us seem to be able to fully understand the expressed viewpoint of the other i say gg. this rhetorical banter is inane and a complete exaggeration oif the initial argument. it's over. so be it. let's put one to rest.

ps. "if" i ever tell you anything that may resemble a potentially private or personal matter again (not likely) i hope you have the sense and discretion not to be a complete cretin and run your mouth to the entire peanut gallery

I especially like how he said that neither one of us can understand the viewpoint of the other... that's just so fucking typical. The whole god-damned time I have saying that I see where he was coming from but trying to enlighten him as to where I was coming from. He is so unable to even BEGIN to understand empathy that he can't even see when people are using it with him. If all that has come out of this is that he will no longer tell me "secrets" or his perception of secrets than I say "hey, good things CAN happen to you too!" Trying to help someone understand things on a higher level who can't even SEE that level is a frustrating experience to say the least. If/when I ever hang out with him again it will be "in the mire of the masses."

On another note, I did a good deed last night. I was driving down Eldridge and upon coming to Harstone, I encountered a girl who was nearly in her own ditch. Getting out and giving her a push proved futile (I am only one man after all!) so I quickly drove and got Dave (who's house I was on my way to anyway). Even both of us couldn't move the damn thing much so we flagged down another car and with newly added pushing power were able to get the car back onto the driveway. The girl (who may or may not have been cute) offered to buy us anything we wanted at Cosmos (her place of work). Dave suggested that we go there sometime to cash in on the offer, but I wasn't really thinking about any kind of reward at all. Who knows, though, maybe I'll be hungry someday....
In class today we watched some really amazing animated shorts including: "The Man Who Planted Trees" (which always brings a tear to my eye) "Crac", "The Cat Came Back" and "Get a Job." These were all Canadian films which just goes to show you that Canada rules at everything! Seriously though, "The Man Who Planted Trees" is one of those quietly life-affirming, touching, and heroic stories that touches a nerve... the nerve that makes you cry out of happiness, sorrow, and hope. Hope that wasn't too sappy for you...
