Oh yeah. I wanna be manly. And I've long since resigned myself to the fact that I'll never be cool.

I don't fucking swear to sound fucking cool. I fucking swear because it helps to alleviate a lot of fucking aggression and frustration.

I try not to swear in anything by casual social situations. Kurt Vonnegut said it just gives an excuse for people not to listen to what you have to say.

I swear very little and only when I am truly angry, because less is more when swearing is involved.

If you swear in excess you become like a Tarantino character, the swearing becomes the usual and loses effectiveness.

i quit ... eliminated them from my vocabulary. 'bout 13 years ago... i felt i no longer needed to modify my consciousness ... i could trust my awareness to tell me this *is* precisly WHAT IT IS ... no need to dramatize or inflame my own sense of reality....

For some reason, I say "Good Grief!" a lot.

And I seem to enjoy thinking of whimsical synonyms for "bullshit", like "bull doo-doo" and "bullpoop". But if I want to get really pretentious, I refer to "excrement of the male bovine".

Speaking of profanity, two nights ago I had a friend drive slowly past the nearby catholic church during a service. I was in the car.
I had about two seconds to stick my upper torso out of the car flashing two of my extra special fingers while screaming

" FUCK YOU FUCKING GODDAMN CATHOLIC CUNT BASTARDS!! "


I had more to say but two seconds is such a short time to express the way i felt.







let it be known that i was not intoxicated in any way... that came afterwards

I never understood why some people consider "damn", "goddamn", and -this one always cracks me up- "hell" as profanity. Even for christians this should not be offensive. Hello, we don't live in middle ages anymore, fuckers!

To quote Spock, I occasionally use "colorful metaphors."

My mom once told me that one day when I was about 4 or 5 years old, I was playing with something in the yard while my mom was planting stuff in the garden, when I suddenly asked "Mommy, why the fuck won't this work?"

Of course, I had absolutely no idea what I was actually saying. I must've picked up the word from school (or possibly from my father). She laughed, and then told me that "fuck" isn't a polite thing to say.

Sincerely,

Goliath
