Not the asshole Socrates Part I
Socrates was an asshole, this is probably the most true and logical assumption I could make from the time I spent in Philosophy 101 back at good ole James Madison University. While I was there to learn as much as possible from a little man who reminded me of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory on Cartoon Network, I must say that I was more focused on regenerating my liver that was being abused on a weekly basis by the fraternity I was pledging. None the less I did learn a bit about the famous name Socrates. He loved to point out everyones flaws and their shortcomings when arguing with him. "Memorable Thoughts of Socrates
" However one of the major pet peeves that most people found with Scorates was his ever unnerving need to point out false logic but to never give a solution to the person's problems. Well my friends (anyone who is attempting to better their health or already are in tip top shape) and my enemies (obese individuals who think being overweight and out of shape is just the hand of cards they were dealt in life) rest assured that I will not be an asshole Socrates. I will strive my best to give you all the knowledge I have acquired over the years, but hopefully this message will be broadcasted to you in an entertaining yet satirist tone that will both inform and piss you off to where you can do nothing else but come back and read my blog. Also below you will see some JMU apparrel that is awesome and I recommend you support the Duke dogs because we James Madisonians are very proud of our Divsion I AA football bwhahahahaha....

JMU has no affiliation with James Madison himself, and Harrisonburg is sucks almost as much as this blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the person that posted a response can reiterate a thought in their mind..."JMU has no affiliation with James Madison himself and Harrisonburg "is" sucks almost as much as this blog." Maybe you should have attended the great James Madison University and you might learn how to speak English well. Also yes you saw that I used the word "well" to describe the verb I used in my sentence. Also since you seem to be ignorant yourself I guess I could go ahead and give you an English lesson.
ReplyDeleteThe word "well" is an adverb. Therefore it is what you should be using instead of an adjective to describe your verb. Example being, I speak very well.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I didn't know that anyone could understand and incorporate irony into a blog in such a smooth and disguised fashion. To construct an entire blog with fragmented, incoherent, and incorrect sentences and then respond to a hostile comment by labeling the author's typo as an inability to speak English properly and recommend that the author attend your alma mater, the very same alma mater he just attacked, is genius. To throw in a brief explanation of the proper use of basic adverbs when his comment lacked even a single adverb is beyond stupendous. Concluding the response with a statement about your oratorical proficiency that is, itself, a broken sentence (the comma is inappropriate--if you intend "Example being" as an introductory phrase, a comma is appropriate only if it is three words or more; if you intend it as a lead in to the remainder of the sentence, a colon is appropriate, or perhaps an m-dash) is a true gift. To someone who doesn't know better, it must seem as though you don't even have a tenuous grasp on the English language despite your astounding confidence in your writing. To read your choppy sentences with the interspersed non sequiturs is a gift, and I, unlike anonymous above, appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant.
P.S.: Don't think that I don't also get the joke about you being a sociopath. Once again, to those who don't know your sense of irony, you must seem like the type of guy who is on the verge of going postal. They must be terrified. I get the irony, though, so I'm comfortable with your mental stability.

ReplyDeleteI applause your post and found it extremely amusing. However, I would like to point out that the word, "well," is an adverb, so you are a bit off point with your comment saying that I did not use a single adverb within my response. Good try however with that particular insult. Regardless of that indiscreptancy I thoroughly enjoyed your comment back to me and commend you on having the testicles to actually call me a sociopath. Which I guess is somewhat true with certain areas of life that I have no tolerance for specifically. Overall I am not a sociopath, but this blog makes for an incoherent, stream of consciousness that is readily available to the public and mildly entertains people. So hopefully it will continue to do just that.
Thanks.
