Death where is thy sting/Physician heal thyself

Martyr complex behavior yes is murder in service of ego.

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. I'm so grateful for all the things
you help me do. All the ladies and gentlemen who made this all so probable.
Thank you friends.

But literacy is dead. I killed it with my great big sledge hammer and a net of
electric fibers.

Now it is going to be really hard to figure out who is the smartest, don't you
think?

Whoops. You probably know.

Now Fido, play with my words.

What–pissy that I didn't support your righteous
war pose?

To you the same as to him: you're not literate,
nor are you qualified to judge literacy.

Stuff your flames up your own arse.

Dead? No. Your commentaries make the implicit assumption that I dislike
illiteracy–and couldn't be further from the truth. Unfortunately,
illiteracy is not the same as pretending to be-that-thing-you-heard

Chuckle. hardly. You have no idea what you're talking about.
You can't even 'touch' literacy least of all kill it.
Secondy this kind of 'murder' belongs to literacy proper.
Ie, you have to be literate in order to commit what you're saying.

You suffer from some delusion that I care about 'smarts'.
maybe you should start paying attention, boy-o. I don't
know if you selectively choose to mis-remember my statements
that I admire genuinely illiterate people, and I enjoy
them far more than this pretense literacy.

You're a whole different story though–a 'literate' monkey
pretending to be 'illiterate'. You so native, man.

> Whoops. You probably know.

Idiotic ascription.

> Now Fido, play with my words.

I don't 'play' with words, love.
Yet another idiotic ascription.
And if you paid attention for two cents worth, you'd have noticed.
Oh aware, conscious, illiterate native you.

My anti-war pose may just be pissy and self-righteous, I'll be thinking on
that today.

I avoided the TV yesterday, anyone else do that? Huh?

I claim to be neither literate or illiterate. I am not particularly interested
in this, yet it seems to consume your time worrying about whether you, me, or
Gunga Din is literate. Literacy is important to a very small world.

Oh yeah, I had to be a dragon to kill a dragon. Be the ball. Do you have big
goofy grin like Chevy Chase? It would work very well here.

The deluded are those people who believe they know a truth, like knowing the
nature of literacy.

Me don't pretend, me perform as the whim hits me. I am a performance artist,
get it ploughboy?

I wonder why your favorite word is idiot? Limited vocabulary?

Nothing consumes my time, love.

Sorry–no worries here. Froth at the mouth as you wish,
but please don't project your wishful thinking. As for
my commentaries to others-the whys and whats do not concern you.
Spare me your judgement.

> Literacy is important to a very small world.

No joke. I guess you selectively ignore what I write.
And keep hammering that point that I'm perfectly aware of–
and better understand than you–even though you don't care.

> Oh yeah, I had to be a dragon to kill a dragon.

Idiotic & irrelevant remark.

No. But you seem to.

Chuckle. What an idiotic statement. No, dear.
Knowing the truth is not delusion–nor has it ever been.
The deluded are the ones deluded in thinking that they know the truth.
Spare us your cheap school rhetoric.

> Me don't pretend, me perform as the whim hits me.

Complete idiocy. You 'perform' as a slave to forces you don't get.
Asleep, mechanical slave. You have no 'whim'.

> I am a performance artist, get it ploughboy?

The only 'ploughboy' here is you–dear.

> I wonder why your favorite word is idiot? Limited vocabulary?

Nothing to do with favorites. It's applicable.
I'm not interested in 'creativity' as imprecision.

> You don't play? Pity your playmates.

That is not what I wrote, idiot. I don't play with words.
Yet anpther condescending pose + debasement attempt.

What a whimsical masochistic passive state.

We are enthralled.

No I won't, neither will you. I could very well say don't judge what is of
concern to me. Hypocrit. Your beliefs and actions are not consistent.

Silly Billy, nobody hits a moving target or counts the grains of sand. Literacy
shape shifts and sways floating on a serrated sea.

My dear dear dear boy, all truths are delusions.

Oh yes, I see, I must be awakened by you to perform to your whims. Mister
Understanding.

Yes, my purpose is to debase you, to make you shiver in contempt of yourself
and the works you have attempted. To make you shiver with delight at a kind
word spoken by me to you. To have you worship at my size 14 feet. They stink
also.

I haven't seen TV in a month or more. So what, we all get a chance to be self-
righteous and usually take it. Power on.

Meaningless idiotic knee-jerk. Observation is not about winning.
Seems like you have a winning / not-winning obsession.

I know both myself, and yourself as currently present.
And yes, I do know. Nor are you qualified to judge whether
I know or not.

No, I am not. Nor are you qualified to judge that.

Life does not consume time.

I am not you. Youu are passing judgement, I am not.
I have no 'beliefs'. My belief and action mechanisms are in
perfect condition and alignment. They certainly are not flat,
static, to your liking, and in your control.
That must be an awful bother.

Meaningless lexicval shifting–which you've convinced yourself,
is very deep.

> > Idiotic & irrelevant remark.

Certainly. Sometimes there isn't more to the story.
Understanding is not hallucinating or co-hallucinating imaginary depth.

> My dear, dear boy. All truths are delusions.

My dear, dear, boy–you're sexually inept, brain-obsessed
and undeveloped. As such allthat appears to you is a delusion.
You have no contact with truth–and your delusional opinion
on the matter is of no value.

Projection + insecurity. You already perform according to something
else's whims Awakening implies among other things liberation
from said 'whims'..

Kindergarten knee-jerk. Sarcasm + irony: masking of fear.
Too close to the truth? Sorry.

I dont owe you justification of what I do.

Meaningless nonsense. You're knee-jerking from self-debasing
programmatic behavior–and enjoying it. Love that masochism, ne?

Gibberish.

Watched a bit in the morning while they recited the names but didn't watch
any after that. I listened to the first lady who said to turn off your tvs.
