Just as I started to write this post, I got this feeling that I'm writing the same shit over and over again. Not that that's necessarily so, but I got the same variation on the same theme. I think a lot of us are like that. I think I need to find the "unified field theory" on my blog. Maybe it's insecurity, or desire, or pain. I don't know, but there's something there. Anyway, let me talk about what I'd planned to talk about.
So I'd just finished jackin' off right? Using my secret two handed technique. I learned it from the Mayans during that summer I spent backpacking in the mountainous regions of the Yucatan Peninsula. So anyways, I'd just finished, right? And it was quite productive I might say. I got a muse now. Anyway, so I'm cleaning up and I realize I have a Netflix movie that I should watch because I wanna get to the bottom of my queue and cancel they ass.
Yeah, so the movie I'm watching is called Ame.rican Sp.len.dor. The movie is fantastic, weird in places, but it's about weird people. It's about this dude, Har.vey Pe.kar, who decides to make a comic book about his life. His dull ass, ordinary life. He's just a guy that works as a file clerk in a VA Hospital in Cle.ve.land. He's isolated, bitter, lonely, and has some weird assed co-workers. By most accounts this dude is a loser.
I watched it and saw a kindred spirit. I identified with this cat in so many ways it wasn't funny. I thought about it afterwards and I keep thinking about it today. Damn, I gotta admit it's got me shook. I don't wanna be a fuckin' loser, man!
That's all I got.

...bloggers are all named Harvey Parker. Don't we make up shit, contive shit, exaggerate shit just to make a story for y'all to read?
I hate blogging!
Great post.
@Blah
That's exactly what I was thinking. That's when that shit hit me like a ton of bricks.
KZ
Word! I'm with Blah...the whole blogger community fits into this category...don't feel shook...feel understood...
@TS
I forgot to write that this was a true story. This cat is something else.
We are all lost souls. Adrift and aimless.
KZ
But what part do you have in common with Harvey Parker?
You're a loser?
You have weird ass co-workers?
ok you do have weird ass co-workers
Your life is a comic book?
I'm really asking these questions to take attempt to take my mind off of
"the secret two handed technique that you learned from the Mayans during that summer you spent backpacking in the mountainous regions of the Yucatan Peninsula."
@OneFrom
He was moving through life in this rut, this routine. He got used to being lonely and introspective. Harvey started to grow more and more uncomfortable interacting with people.
He finally met this woman. She was a fan of his comic book. He married her ass in a week's time. Do you know what he said? He said "If I hadn't met you I don't know what'd I would have done. I was about to lose it."
I sat there like "Damn! I so completely feel him."
Yeah, I don't think I'm necessarily a loser, but I'm stuck out here like a cat without control of his life. So, yeah, I'm loser-ish.
KZ
I've met you...you were NOT at all uncomfortable interacting with people.
I know damn well that no matter how lonely you may get, you would NOT marry a woman that you've only know for a week.
And we're all in a rut! You're just in a rut in a small city without much to do, very few people you can relate to, so it feels like a deeper rut.
So maybe I'm dense or something but I'm just not getting how you are anything like this whack Harvey. I can't cosign on that "loser-ish" shyt. That ain't true.(period)
As corny as it sounds life is what you make it. I have weird ass co-workers that drive me nuts and a job I hate, but I do not think that makes me a loser. I have a life outside of my career. From the sounds of your blog you do too.
I must be Harvey's less interesting brother. I look at the stuff I been writing for the last couple of months and think, why is anybody reading this mess? I think we do this like Talib says "Just To Get By"
I have to cosign with Miz JJ. It is what it is ... if you want changes you have to make 'em. And if you're making them ... trust that things will get better.
LOL...Blah.My name is not Harvey Parker.We don't all make up shit.. Omit shit yes make up stuff no. Now I saw bits and pieces of that movie...That was one homely dude and his wife Eeeeeew....That is not your life bruh. Your life is just on pause. Soon as you release that button. It will be all good after that.
Zed, you are not a loser! If for no other reason than for the fact that I'm not a loser, you are not a loser! LOL
the good news is the holidays serve as not just the beginning of hunting season, but also for human mating season, so perhaps you can get some assistance with that whole masturbation process....
i too am stuck in a rut, but it's a rut of having too much fun. i feel like an eternal teenager.
is that wrong??
LMAO I will never read your blog in front of co-workers and management again. Oh yeah, I'll have to remember to check out the movie too...lol
maybe that cat ain't a loser. maybe the folk who look at his life and call him a loser cuz he ain't living the mainstream life are the real losers. maybe it's the folk who see a man doing his thing and think cuz he's not shaking the world with his every movement are the losers.
@ Slish: haha...so you finally admit to omitting! Love it!...'bout fucking time everyone stops thinking of you as the damn relationship god...HARVEY!
@ Zed: I get it!
@ Ahmad: You go'in to grow up when you grt back to lala? That would be erong in my opinion...but bask in your teenage years!
I know...I snatched your comment section huh? heeheehee
I hate blogger on my phone. this is aquababie :)
the thing that appeals to me about blogging is that I can write about the most asinine shit. my life is boring. I just posted about losing a screw in my dryer.
I like reading your shit...even if you consider it boring shit.
I haven't seen the flick yet, but I heard about it. paul giamiatti ( this is his name right) is a good character actor. I loved him in sideways.
@OneFrom
Honestly, I think I was euphoric meeting all y'all. I was on a high, so being social was no problem. I crashed kinda quickly when it was over and I was back to being myself.
Marriage after a week? You got me there. It ain't happenin'!
I appreciate you not letting me claim this loser shit, but sometimes that's what I feel.
@MizJJ
I know you know I don't have much of a life outside this thing. I try, though.
@Cas
I know folks gotta be tired of reading my shit, I get tired of writing it. It's so repetitive and it's sort of depressing when I read the archives.
@Chele
Change is scary!
@Slish
We all are guilty of omission. You see you had to talk me into writing about Grilled Cheese. The world at large would've never known.
I don't make shit up though. I wish some of this shit were fake. It's less painful that way.
@BZ
I can't imagine you as a loser. But trust me when I say I got some loser-ish tendencies.
@Miss Ahmad
Volunteering to lend a hand? I accept.
@Beauty
It's unconventional as all get out but you'll enjoy it.
@Nikki
Your point is hella valid. Is he a loser or a regular dude? When we look at winners and losers, how do we separate the two? What's the criteria. I offer this: if a muthafucka doesn't pursue or take advantage of the opportunities for happiness afforded to him, he's a loser.
@Blah
Hey, Blah. What you wearin'?
@Aqua
Paul Giamatti is one of those underrated cats in general. That's the reason I got the movie. People like PG, Don Cheadle, Jeffrey Wright, and Toni Collette get slept on all the time.
KZ
I never get tired of reading your blog or other peoples blogs for that matter.
It's nice to know that weird shit happen to other people as well. Now I don't feel like I am the only one.
Loser...HELL NO. You can take yourself out of that category.
KEEP BLOGGING !!!
2 things
TMI
and
that movie was unbelievable
I loved it
especially when his girlfriend comes from the bathroom throwing up tells him they better skip all that dating crap and just get married
@Diva
I know you be over there laughin' at me and shit! I'll keep blogging for you and your peeps, cool?
@GC
TMI? I got pics too if you want 'em!
Yeah, I love that fuckin' flick. I might add it to my little emerging collection.
KZ
you sure you just didnt like it because of the endorphins that had left your brain from the jacking off???? :-?
