Stuttering Freak Brother Update No.72

[manker]

Ahh, he didn't escape from anywhere in that update. I like the ones where he escapes and then re-dedicates himself to appearing on Ulster's Dumbest Criminals.
Well bugger me. I just discovered that Ulster =! Northern Ireland.

I'm sorry to hear about the crap your mam is going through - and you by the sounds of it. Chin up, with a bit of luck he'll get a decent stretch this time and give you good folk a break from wondering if you're going to read about his demise in the papers.

I'm not normally so pessimistic but having just read the $10 thread and now this, I don't see anything other than recidivism for him on the outside.

On a more positive note, when you write about this, you bring out the big guns with both vocabulary and style.

While '!=' and '/=' could be semanticized to "not equal to", I think '=!' would be "really really equal to for realz yo".

You fucking mental, you.

Anyways, MJ, regale us of how that reunion you weren't looking forward to turned out, you mental.

Thanks for spotting it. I do try to ramp it up when I'm on about him. I started that way with the histrionic style, so it'd be a shame not to continue it.

I did forget to follow up. Day 1, we barely spoke, then parted ways for the evening. Day 2, we went to a bar, I told him that I'm going to take liberties to call him a complete idiot when I felt so inclined, we got drunk, sung a karaoke duet of Under the Bridge. Day 3, didn't talk to each other much, he complimented my urnebes and then we went bowling. ~Day 10, stopped by his apartment having been invited to a Halloween party, I was the only one not dressed up, left early. ~Day 60, haven't seen or spoken to him since the Halloween party.

Spastic genius.

Despite me looking in from the outside and saying objectively what I think is probably for the best, chavis will be offering his errant bro emotional support the very next time he's out. That's the way it is so I can't help but think that more than two but less than four people in this thread are doing it wrong.


Belonging to a group of people is something we all strive for, whether it's trying to get a girlfriend or making an ID on a message board. It's all an extension of something which we have hardwired into us as people. Despite most of us having no materialistic need to have others around us, we desire it. No matter how comfortable we are with our own company, not much time will elapse before we want to talk to someone, to physically touch or be touched by someone or to feel an emotional connection.

With blood relatives, especially siblings and parents and later on in life children, we have the best opportunity to share a bond which will last a lifetime. People who will absolutely drop what they're doing and help you in any situation without a moment's hesitation. Your back is well and truly got.

In a nuclear family, you're the most important people in each other's lives, this can't be duplicated with a best friend and often not with a partner, certainly not for a good many years, because they have their own siblings and parents. So why cast it aside when it's definitely the best chance you'll ever have of being a part of a solidly defined and almost unbreakable group. Nurture it instead. You'll only spend the rest of your life trying to fill the void with an inferior substitute.


Read some Vonnegut, especially early Vonnegut but any Vonnegut really. This theme runs through his books.
And he's dead right.

That's like beautiful or something.

You should write poetry.
