Do you have any guidelines for when it is appropriate to flip people the bird?
My concern is that I’m doing psychic/karmic damage to myself and others by giving people the finger willy-nilly, but it comes so naturally to me that censoring myself too much seems like denying real talent room to maneuver.
Thanks and go *&%# yourself!
It is never appropriate to give someone the finger. If you’re doing it all the time, you should probably sit on your hands, and you would enjoy yourself much more. You shouldn’t give people the finger willy-nilly for several reasons, first of which being that someone might pull out a gun and blow your damn head off while you’re driving down the highway or standing on the corner. Unless you really want someone to get rough with you, don’t flip the bird.
It’s never appropriate, even though some of us occasionally do it. I propose an acceptable alternative; it is becoming the new international symbol. I created it myself. You take your thumb and index fingers, making a circle, like the OK sign. You look out the window and smile. It’s terribly confusing for your victim; however, this new symbol stands for a certain human orifice. Use it as much as you like, and remember to give me credit.
Like many folks, I’m on a budget this summer. What are some suggestions for cutting back while still affording summer luxuries such as PBR, music festivals, and the occasional splurge on tight jeans or sweet sunglasses?
How old are you? If you’re on such a tight budget, go buy a can of spray paint and paint your pants on. People wear their pants too tight these days. Besides, if you drink enough PBR, you won’t be able to get your behind in those tight pants anyway! Frankly, I don’t know why you’re so concerned about your summer budget. From the sound of it, you’ll be spending it in juvie!
I have a real gambling problem, and admitting is step one (or so I heard at The Derby). Following the Preakness and Belmont, I’m not sure I will be able to pay my mortgage. Do you have any advice for a wheeler and dealer such as myself? I have great intentions of paying down student loans and paying off my clunker, but the excitement of the track is so addicting.
You not only have a problem, you’re sick. Instead of going over to the Horsehoe Casino, they should just nail some horseshoes on you. Soon enough, you won’t be able to afford shoes anyway.
Go get help. You are totally addicted. Anyone who spends that sort of money and comprises their very livelihood is very, very ill.
I have a lovely, talented, intelligent group of friends. However, as of late, I have noticed that we’re each becoming more overtaken by doubt and insecurity in our careers, our craft, our relationships, you name it. Is insecurity the creative class’s cross to bear? How can we combat the scourge of self-doubt?
If you’re part of the creative class, you should be a little more creative about feeling better. First of all, I doubt very seriously if you’re all lovely, talented, and intelligent. You only meet a few people like that in a lifetime, much less manage to create a friend group fully comprised of the best and the brightest. You’re delusional.
Nevertheless, everyone is overtaken with insecurity and self-doubt. If you worked at the Ford plant, you wouldn’t necessarily be creative, but you would still feel insecure about your career, your craft of putting nuts and bolts on a truck, and your relationship with the lady who serves food in the cafeteria in the Ford plant. It’s not a “creative class” problem.
You’re not alone. Everyone gets insecure every once in a while. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be human. It would be no better to be overwhelmed with your own self-worth. A little bit of sense of self-worth goes a long way. Cultivate it, and chill out a little.
What ever happened to people talking to each other? I’m not simply referring to pleasant conversation (an art which is certainly lacking), but these days, people passive aggressively air all sorts of frustrations in various public forums, rather than talking to the person they’re upset with. When did people lose their couth (and their balls)?
What ever happened to people talking to one another? I have no idea. Could it be the cell phone, the computer, and all the other technological stuff at our fingertips? Obviously, you’re not much of a reader. If you were, you would have seen some of the latest studies, which indicate that people just can’t talk anymore. We don’t practice speaking to each other, we work on our thumb muscles, allowing them to say everything that we want to say.
In regards to airing concerns in a public forum: Isn’t that what they’re for? What do you want people to talk about? Perhaps the last tea they attended? Their new summer frock? The discourse taking place in public forums is one of the only decent things happening in this country at this time.
The art of conversation is a wonderful thing, and I agree with you. There should be more of it. But you have to work at it. Throw away your computer, your cell phone, and find your soul. Write a letter. Ciao, bambino!
