Son of a Bitch!

I am kicking myself right now. I am mentally berating myself like there's no tomorrow. Why am I doing this? Because I just missed an opportunity to copy paste a goddamned webcomic in an internet argument; and it would have been completely fucking relevant, too! I shouldn't have fucking backed out of the argument in the last post I made, goddammit! It would have been fucking perfect, glorious, mag-fucking-nificent!

For about three years, I've been trying to recapture the rush I felt when arguing with people who posted something so damned stupid I just felt compelled to call them on it. Before then, I was just going through the motions, ignoring internet arguments and just lurking like a kid who passes the toy store that used have this amazing toy he wanted, couldn't afford, worked hard to earn the money for, ran to the store to buy it, find out it was just sold and sighs solemnly every time he passes the store and sees the spot in the window it used to occupy. Apparently, my mind has traveled back in time about forty or fifty years to when this analogy was relevant. I've been hoping that there was some internet community that was still active and that stupid people or people who posted stupid shit frequented and it wasn't facebook or twitter. I had given up hope; then I started posting on gamefaqs again. Here I am, having a grand ole' time reliving what I've come to love about the internet; calling people on their bullshit and I miss a goddamned opportunity to do it!

Don't let my last post fool you, that was a glimpse of the old me, the awesome me, the me I loved being even though I'd sometimes find something so stupid or get so damned exasperated at trying to explain how a person was being a stupid jackass to the person themselves, I ended up getting a headache from trying to comprehend the stupidity. I fucking loved every minute of and now that I have finally managed to start reliving it a bit, I make a goddamned rookie mistake and bow out of the argument before making this person look like even more of an ass. The me from five years ago is pissed and I can't blame him. I have forgotten how to be a typhoon of rage and common sense on the internet and I am ashamed of myself. My time as an internet hermit has obviously taken it's toll on my ability to call people on their bullshit.


Oh well, at least I have my health and my you-goddammit previous post! Now I feel old again, fuck!
