Verily good gentlemen, I have arrived late and believe my good name is being besmirched! I would duel you, but that would require effort.

Decent gimmick, but you need his avatar facing in the opposite direction.

Pitch at least one web based idea to Google everyday. They are bound to pick one up for $30-40 million eventually.

Reading this thread is like watching Screech on Celebrity Fit Club.

True genius is often unappreciated in it's time. Everyone thought Einstein was retarded, I'll have you know.

I don't understand this idea that he's good with people. I've met him on two occasions. The first time, I didn't interact with him too much but he still came across as a little weird. The second time, we had more direct interaction and he came across as really weird, to the point that I felt very creeped out just being around him.

If he has/had people skills, they are as negatively affected as the other areas of his life by this apparent massive depression.

He's definitely a smart enough guy, but comparing himself to Einstein is downright silly, especially considering his skills are in completely different areas from Einstein. Logic, math and reason are not your skills, Anacardo.

From what I can tell from the (thankfully) fleeting moments we've spent together and from your ubiquitous posts in these forums, your skill set is limited to intelligently and prettily writing about your warped ideas. That's it. Your warped perspective, lack of mental discipline and apparent lack of any logical thought lead to some very strange ideas, for which you use your apparent intelligence to be able to see and describe every subtle nuance in an enviable manner.

In short, you sling some sweet-smelling BS.

Maybe you should try being a propagandist. Work for some government or politician. Most people are stupid. You can take whatever BS your employer feeds you and dress it up all nice and pretty and even intelligent-sounding and cram it down people's throats the same way you've been cramming your mental and emotional maladies down our increasingly jaded throats.

At least you'll get paid to do what you do best, and maybe it'll take your mind off your mind for a while.

I quote from Mr. George Orwell -

"The feeling, 'This is what I came into the world to do. Everything else is uninteresting. I will do this even if it means starvation', which turns men of differing temperaments into scientists, inventors, artists, priests,explorers and revolutionaries - this motif is almost entirely absent..."

He's describing the works of Dickens, but the comment applies equally well to my own life. I am as ignorant of this feeling as a virgin.

This is your real problem. Enjoying your job is like a happy marriage, it lasts about 4 months. After that you just hope to be able to not hate each other and have a mutually benificial relationship. Here's a couple of quotes for you:

"You think I'm a loser? Because I have a stinking job that I hate, a family that doesn't respect me, and a whole city that curses the day I was born? Well, that may mean loser to you, but let me tell you something. Every day when I wake up in the morning, I know it's not going to get any better until I go back to sleep. So I get up. I have my watered-down Tang and my still-frozen Pop Tart. I get in my car with no gas, no upholstery, and six more payments. I fight honking traffic just for the privilege of putting cheap shoes onto the cloven hooves of people like you. I'll never play football like I wanted to. I'll never know the touch of a beautiful woman. And I'll never know the joy of driving through the city without a bag over my head. But I'm not a loser. Because, despite it all, me and every other guy who'll never be what they wanted to be, is out there, being what we don't want to be, forty hours a week, for life. And the fact that I didn't put a gun in my mouth years ago - that little fact makes me a winner, baby." - Al Bundy

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." - Henry David Thoreau

I remember seeing Al deliver that speech. That was such an incredible thing to see on t.v., much less in a comedy, at that time. I felt blessed.

how is this thread so big? did it turn into another cardo therapy session where he ignores all the obvious everyone gives him?

Einstein eventually did something with his life.

You won't.

The gimmick account is apparently drawing serious responses now, so maybe it's better than I gave it credit for.
