The coffee’s on, now. I’m heading out for a walk, it’s the middle of the night.
I’ve been thinking about you, us. Wanting to seem like a nice guy, trying to be a nice guy. Trying to understand about method, and how it is we, collectively ‘think’. I am not smart, that’s not my virtue. My virtue is I want, try to be honest. So, I want you know, I am going to be coming off as cruel. More and more, this is my path forward. I burned the sheets on which we were conceived last midnight. And this is what I was trying to get at, all this preamble, just to say something simple and dumb.
THE TROUBLE WITH SMART PEOPLE IS THAT THEY THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN EVERYONE…
AND THE TROUBLE WITH DUMB PEOPLE IS THAT THEY ARE…
…ey’, Ackley kid?
To be clear, Hicks was saying the guy who killed John Lennon and the guy who killed Martin Luther King like I mentioned, Hicks was saying those guys were assholes. I guess I glossed over that, thinking it spoke for itself. But I’ve seen people on social media with that post ‘John Lennon deserves to die just for walking like that’ that meme where he’s walking like a weirdo.. (not to mention the people who just legit hate John Lennon…) So, maybe there’s a danger of being misunderstood… or worse.. taken seriously. Definitely more to think about. I’ll talk about this next time perhaps.
Anyway.. in the meantime, if you’re gonna kill somebody, have some fucking taste.
