Talk is Cheap

Preface:
I am well into my twenties and can honestly say I am in no position to grow up. I lack every necessary skill one needs to tackle the “real world”. Sure I have a job, but at that job I do nothing but undress women with my eyes, and giggle at drunken people… real mature. Problem is I don’t even put forward a deceptive façade, anyone who knows me can tell you that I have very little redeemable qualities. Harsh? I don’t think so, I once had high expectations, but just like my attention span, they too have dwindled to virtually nothing.
Problem:
I attend class everyday and listen to students wax academic about meaningless drivel preaching literal nothings. I think to myself how lucky I am that I have come to this conclusion and I am no longer stuck inside this shell of expectation, and self-fulfillments. If by any chance one of you is reading this, I hope you get the memo soon. Chances are none of you will so I will climb on top of my soapbox and preach a little truth to you. Just because you know how to use the Google, and stumble through a Wikipedia article, doesn’t give you the right to talk. I know we have all come from the school of there are no dumb questions, or we are all special in our own way… I get that, that’s cool. Think that way if you like…but I don’t, so therefore I think you are stupid and so are your questions. Whatever, if you read the first paragraph you know I am in no position to tell anyone anything, but at least I recognize that. You on the other hand continue to talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk.
Conclusion:
I have no answers for you; In all honesty I didn’t think that far ahead. I just felt that I needed to address your pointless, failed attempts at sounding relevant in class, and moreover life in general. All I ask is that tomorrow when you wake up, look in the mirror and ask yourself “ What have done to deserve this inflated sense of self worth?” I’ll answer for you. Absolutely nothing! This is where I drop the microphone and walk away…
