I get one good compliment and all of a sudden everybody hates me! Yes, I _looked_a _little_ like him back in college… but 'dat 'bout it fokes…
Yes, I work with computers for a living, but I assure you I’m not “Trapped in the Matrix” And NO… it has nothing to do with that… for me at least.
Let’s see… I don’t surf… so I can’t be in Point Break. I’m not half Hawaiian so I can’t be of the same race. I’m not in the Keanu fan club… I don’t got out and buy Keanu’s movies the second they come out…
So one girl gives me the compliment… Fuck people! shouldn’t I at least be able to bask in the glory of it? What the fuck is it to you? Yes, I am quite aware I’m not him… by a long shot… I’m not a fucking moron. Get a grip, christ. I guess it’s time to find some new friends who live on a deeper plane of reality. Go get your head checked Dave! I make it a point not to fuck with yours… you could give me the same fag! I can say this _here_ because if Dave is truly listening here, he shouldn’t be. He has no idea of this site, and does not know my nick name here, so I can vent. If you are listening you KNOW you shouldn’t be… I WILL consider it an invasion of privacy and I WILL come to your house in the middle of the night with a can of gas and lite up your dog in the living room… any questions?
Your 30 years old… I’m 28… we should both be past the point of ragging on each other’s Moms or whatever. Come to reality sometime… I’ll be sure to walk you past the better parts of hell… so you can live there yourself… and _I’ll_ can take the vacation from it this time.

No, no, **Darth** , see above. Thaidog clearly says _he’ll_ can take the vacation from burning your dog.

I guess because I _look_ like a stupid surfer dude, I get treated like a stupid surfer dude… and I post stupid threads so I that does not help… but what do the people like? More stupid threads, right? What a catch 22! Now before anybody takes it the wrong way here, I’m not talking shit about anybody… It’s just a fact of life I’ve learned to live with… FACT: It’s impossible out-live your stereotype.

I’m with **Darth**. You should take it up.
Then, when people treated you like a stupid surfer dude, they’d be perfectly correct, and you’d have no cause for complaint.

Speak for yourself… I know plenty who do see me… Not afraid, but I trust knowbody… Names/nickanmes are kept secret unless otherwise preferenced. No, not the “Dave” I speak of… But I do know about 8 or 9 dopers at least on a face to face level.

see… there you go… this is not a fucking contest! I’m not here to prove shit, ok?
All I’m saying with that is that I have a right to be paranoid that’s all that is ok? It’s an explaination and that’s _it_. OK?
