A good day makes me very excitable. It does not necessarily make me nicer. Yesterday was a very good day. I had a wonderful afternoon and followed it up by watching Sons of Anarchy (amazing show) and smoking one of my favorite cigars thanks to Chad "Creedy McFlow" Reed. A good day gives me an excess of energy to put toward whatever I choose. Therefore I am becoming a Maccabee, a hammer, slamming down on blatant and stubborn ignorance. Here we go baby.
I am an ignorant man, but I strive to rid myself of as much as I can. In irony, I do not know the name of the young man who is fueling my fire. I will refer to him as The Boy With The Blue Hat. I will abbreviate his name to Blue Hat. Surprisingly, Blue Hat has a lot to say. From his appearance and my judgmental attitude, he appears to not know where his feet are. There is an arrogance to him that I can't quite figure out. Actually, I can. He is one that knows everything, but knows nothing, with an uncontrollable desire to be viewed as an intellect yet speaks out so much because he is scared of someone finding out that he really knows nothing. He knows he is ignorant. He must. However, he doesn't know that he is. I know. I know very well. He just commented on Aristotle's description of conversation in its excess, means, and deficiency. Those who talk too much look like jackasses, just enough is witty, and not enough is boorish. His views contradict Aristotle's. He believes that people who talk too much are boring and that people who don't talk aren't very smart. Oh let's rock this one, Flava. Do you not know, Blue Hat, that you are the epitome of this buffoonery while you speak in excess. Boring, you are not, because you have me on the edge of my seat every time I enter the door of this classroom.
Perhaps I will not discuss Blue Hat anymore: I'm just trying him on for size...get it? While I am in this class today, he may come up again, after which I will certainly give you more information.
Brief explanation: Blue Hat is ignorant with no idea that he is not. There is not intention of stepping as far out of his own ignorance. This is what I have the problem with. I tend to jump around and lose focus, so try to stick with me. If you do not know, you should not speak, unless you are asking a question to better your knowledge and understanding. Since there are very few people with that motive...sew your mouth shut.
I didn't swear during this whole post. Damn.
