Joseph- A very questionable Wizard

[Adios]

Oh, and before you start protesting your wannabe guru status, allow me to remind you:

Was just chatting with my scribe while you all were posting.  Proper responses in a bit.

Most of my people don't actually know much about Discordia, but are definitely gonna learn as they go.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS ASSBAGGERY?  YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION IN THE EYES OF THE SACRED WAYNE NEWTON.  THE TEMPLE MUST BE CLEANSED!

Fucking self appointed guru?

Oh, yeah.  He has a scribe and "people" who will do as he tells them.  In short, this means he has a collection of damaged individuals whom he's vacuumed up into a WIZRAD JOE appreciation society, by telling them he's gonna teach them all universal secrets or some shit.

He basically turned into the preachers he was talking about, like a beaten kid will sometimes turn into an abuser.

This inspires loathing in me that can only be described as Richterian.

Yes, sir it does. Pathetic.

"HI!  IMA BUILD A TRAP FOR MYSELF, BECAUSE I FORGOT ABOUT PAYNE."

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

You're just not serious about having a good time.

Clue for the clueless:  You can't get off the ride unless you kill yourself¹, so you may as well learn to laugh at the horrible wrecks below each hairpin turn.

¹  And then you get to work at the DMV forever.

You know in a way that's part of why I decided to make it a business doing pleasure.  Other than that it's a market that's VERY difficult to totally fuck up it also gives me a chance to laugh @ some of the worst in our nature, and maybe sometimes do something about it if I manage to make Real Cash^tm.

Of course the biggest part of why I'm in it is the cash and the deluxe seating for viewing said horrible wrecks that makes possible.
When my ride also inevitably tips over the rails it would be nice to feel I made an impression before I made impact.

THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE FUCKING UP (the bolded bit).

You will make an impression WHEN you impact, so why not concentrate on enjoying yourself?  Life is too fucking important to take seriously, and no wannabe hipster guru ever actually had any fun.  QUIT WORRYING ABOUT WHAT "IMPRESSION" OTHER PEOPLE GET FROM YOU.¹

Rant for the sake of ranting, not for the adoration of trustafarian chicks with poor adequate² personal hygiene.  Lose you shit for the sake of losing your shit, not for "doing something about it", as if you somehow knew what's best for other fucking primates.  Be the rage, not the perfectly orchestrated impression of rage.  Or just say "fuck it", get yourself an ironic hat and a tallbike, and join the mob of idiots infesting the streets of Seattle and Portland.

Jesus H Fucking Christ, who the fuck do you think you are?  Let the Goddamn humans make their own mistakes. 

¹You might not believe how many people from diverse world views have told me this.  I think it's an artifact from being raised to believe in a God that EXPECTS something of me. I've made progress with this. You'd have found me perhaps irredeemably annoying 10 years ago.

² Fixed.  I have standards.   
When I originally started ranting it was for no reason other than that it felt good.  The truth is that the little topical rants I've posted here are a newer development for me and intentionally about trying to teach the damn dirty apes.  It's like sharing rice from my own empty bowl.  In truth there's nothing useful in me that can really help them and the ones that tell me they got something out of it mystify me.  They really believe I gave them rice.  I imagine this was how Barnum felt all the time.

About who I think I Am.  I guess I'm a person with as much compassion as rage kept in separate containers made by the lowest bidder(me). The way I run things now they're fuel when I mix 'em.  When I was much younger it was more like a binary explosive I had little control over. I will probably run out of one or both one day.

I am one of those mistake making humans Dok.  I've seen the broken get fixed, the dead brought to life(or at least start really living), the blind made to see. I remain personally unconvinced this is really doing anyone a favor and know for a fact that it's beyond my power, yet it happens. Then folks often go back into agony, despair, and ignorance...  sometimes very often willingly.

Right now I think I am mostly tired and need to crash and rise again in the morning to do the things I'm gonna do to make cash.  I do prefer having cash. That much I know for sure! 

... Blue Winterhawk?

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Holy fuck, the shoe fits. :puke:

[The Wizard Joseph]

Not really sure what to say.

I'm definitely not this blue winterhawk.  I saw the thread where some folks were ripping on him for stuff, but didn't really know who you were talking about and didn't look into it.  I don't plan to either.

I said "scribe" because I was feeling amused and it's an in joke between my friends and I, and he'll be portraying a character with that role in a fictional story I'm producing.

The temple comment was a joke to me as well.

Oh, yeah.  He has a scribe and "people" who will do as he tells them.  In short, this means he has a collection of damaged individuals whom he's vacuumed up into a WIZRAD JOE appreciation society, by telling them he's gonna teach them all universal secrets or some shit.

Doktor Howl those are my friends you're characterizing.  You don't know them either.
In most cases I've known "MY People" for years.  Some of them are life long friends and could have my life from me if they needed it.

With whatever respect is due, you don't know who or what you're talking about.  It actually still makes me wonder if you're intentionally trying to pull my chain.  I mean come on, Universal Secrets?  They help me because I help them and I've proven trustworthy.  I know you have good friends here.  Why shit on mine when they're not?

There are some though Dok that another person cannot help.  I helped my self out of a nasty cycle and you seem to be bringing it up as some kind of barb to get at me.  Nice shot man.  THAT really did hurt.  Put it in you report Dok

I'm gonna take a nap to cool off for a bit, I'll catch up on this later.

See, Joe, this is the sort of problem you run into when YOU characterize your friends as such.

Referencing an in-joke to people not in on it is kinda... well, stupid. especially when you  try to come off as some sort of spreader of enlightenment.
