I hate running into people I don’t like, and I don’t like a lot of people. In an ideal situation, I see that person first and duck down or hide myself so I won’t be seen, sometimes I don’t get seen, that’s tight; but other times, inevitably, they see you and you go, ‘oh, hey.’ And these people just pop out everywhere, I could be in a slaughter house in Montana and somebody who I can’t stand could somehow manage to find me there, and its not that I know a lot of people, its that I somehow have a gravitational pull on these people. What’s even worse is accidentally bumping into somebody that you hate and you know they hate you but you both have to act civil to each other anyways, I don’t care if somebody doesn’t like me, it’s when you’re thrown in a situation where you have to act nice to each other that sucks.
Just about every aspect of living in a developed world revolves around acting nice to one another, unless you want to be known as an asshole. I wish I could just go up to somebody and say, ‘you smell like a dead rat but other than that you’re cool.’ Everybody including me would mind if somebody said that to them (and personally I would probably weep) but at least everyone would know everyone’s feelings. And I don’t really want to hurt someone’s feelings, but I think it’s worse to talk about people behind their backs because that’s what ends up happening because it is human (or high school student anyways) nature to not be able to keep a secret to themselves. And then that comment you said would end up coming out anyways, and in a less than appropriate fashion. That’s why I think that Kramer is thought of as a hilarious character (yes from Seinfeld). Besides his crazy antics, physical comedy, and his racial comment on national television, he just speaks the truth. The Seinfeld characters play off of Kramer’s honesty but one instance that I love is when George is going out with a really pretty woman and the girlfriend says that ‘living in New York is kinda intimidating because of all the beautiful women.’ And then Kramer responds, ‘you’re just as beautiful as any of them…you just need a nose job.’ Because Seinfeld is a sitcom, the laughter of the audience is heard and this situation is declared funny, this situation is funny because its true. It’s like ‘those people who I hate’ say, ‘it’s funny because it true.’
And then people want to apologize for what they say, ‘I didn’t mean that, you really don’t have corn-kernel looking teeth.” Why apologize for things you believe to be true. Unless the statement is meant to put someone down or hurt someone’s feelings, what does it matter if you say what you feel. Now don’t go doing this to me because I don’t think I’m ready for people to start telling me how bad I look like or how stupid I act and a lot of people aren’t either but as a society, that’s what we need to aim for. Man is inherently imperfect indefinitely, as long as we stop hiding feelings for one another, then maybe, just maybe, there will be world peace that should be man’s New Years resolution. But of course I have no clue what I’m talking about, which is evident if you have read to this point, I’m just rambling on trying to consolidate my ideas. Oh, and I heard from some chick fli- excuse me, romantic comedy-that half of everything that people joke about is true. Is that true? Or were the writers just joking around? If this is true, then I guess our trail to world peace is already being paved (ha), so kudos.
I feel like I’m preaching a bunch of messages and I hate when that happens so I’ma leave it at this, if you don’t want to care about what I say then fine, but don’t get mad if I say I don’t like you. Real Talk.

Yea. You didn't really have anything to write about, did you? Not that I didn't like your essay. I guess that it was actually pretty good. It's funny though, sometimes you kinda sounded like Zak, like when you said, "I'd probably weep". Thats something Zak would say. I like your voice or whatever, style of writing. Cool. Sometimes I felt like you put words in there to make it longer, and you confused me with your world peace schpiel. But it was good. I liked the part when you talked about people who you don't like. But, as a little note, if you really don't like being secretive about not liking somebody, why don't you use any names in your essay? Like, "i hate so and so because he/she is whatever". Just say the names. Why wouldn't you? Asshole.
Real Talk.
ps. Gottlieb said to be nice when you write comments, so good job. Fo real. Nice work. Very Jenosequa.
I really enjoyed reading your essay because you seemed to express your feeling and thoughts very openly. Some of your sentences teneded to be a litle long, and I think that brought on some rambling. Even though there were parts that made it look like you were just rambling, I think that created some sort of writing style that made your story comical. I really admired your honesty and bravery to come out right and say how you dislike so many people, that was quite amusing. All in all, I liked your essay and I think the "real talk" edge that it had added a comical twist to your honest opinions.
i dont know why that happened
anyways
Well i like it, i can tell that you just went on your own tangent, which is what all of these are, no matter what Gottlieb tries to call them. I can tell that you just sorta let loose on your keyboard and followed your train of thought, this is good because if your writing your train of thought, then the readers train of thought will be bery similar when reading this. Like theyre thinking with your voice inside their head.
I was a little dissapointed though, i was hoping there would be a really specific example like "this one time i..." or "just like when..." I'm sure you had something like this, i mean everybody does so...
Ya it's good and relatable and i was just talking with you about this so ya, cool.
