So the other day I happened upon a friends house late at night, or early in the morning, depending how you want to look at it. It was a night that I only had a few beers and my game was really on. I managed to progress my life forward in the recent months and it was shinning through when coming to game. A couple of things I have done is grow my hair out and really amp up on my health and nutrition. If you are in need of a great couch who has been there than may I suggest Andrea Allbright from www.AmazingBodyNow.com. She is a class act and gifted teacher.
I managed to end up at a friends house for a while and this is a guy who I thought was really smart. I have come to understand that in his dialect with others, he will make comments about people right there. I don’t believe it is done maliciously, but all the same I wonder what he gets from it. It’s like you can be sitting there and he and his girlfriend will comment about your intelligence to each other, not recognizing the fact they are doing it in front of you. I read a blog by TheRawness recently about his European Trip recently that reminded me of this behavior. It’s not quite the same, but very similar.
I guess some people think that their intelligence is so much more advanced than others that they actually predisposition themselves to believe in their own hype. I’m not claiming to be better than others, only that I have been around the block and I am smart enough to recognize insults that are under the cuff.
We were all talking about interesting people and somehow the topic of Roissy in DC came about. Now if you don’t know http://roissy.wordpress.com/ than you need to follow the link and read up. The blog is brilliant and yet simple in its thought process. Very clear and understandable and to me, one of my favorite blogs on the net today.
So BAMM, all of a sudden my friend, goes on this tirade that he doesn’t care, and not to link him the site, because he would end up reading it, disagreeing, and end up being right! Holly wow, talk about being closed minded. He tried to justify his position, by saying that too many people send him links and they all turn out the same. I simply said, I guess you have been hanging out with the wrong type of people. With that said it was time to go.
I left a bit bewildered and I guess we all have our moments, but the outrage of this man believing so much in himself to close off any and all incoming data as wrong, before it is even presented is just sad. I valued my friends input always and liked to listen to what he had to say. What bothers me most is not so much his inequities, but more that the information he is presenting as truth cannot be taken as such, especially knowing that which I do now.
Your feedback is appreciated like always.
