How does one tell when someone is actually voicing an unpopular opinion or when someone is just being a troll? A troll? A troll for someone that doesn’t know is some one that just wants to jump into a conversation either on a message board, a comments section, or maybe a social network and derail the conversation with something that is unpopular. Many times it is obvious when someone is being a troll, but other times it isn’t. For example, if you post a picture of your puppy on reddit, and someone comes in and goes…

YOUR PUPPY IS UGLY AND SHOULD BE SHOT IN THE FACE WITH FLAMES FROM SATAN’S COCK!

There is a good chance this guy is just trying to derail the conversation into people yelling at the guy for being a cunt! which he either is for thinking the puppy is ugly, or is for not keeping the opinion to himself, or IS for just saying it to be a cunt… no other reason… deep down he thinks the puppy is cute, but he gets his rocks off by saying something contrary.

NOW, I found this as a 1 star rating on Amazon for Raiders of the Lost Ark,

I don’t want cinema to be like that……. that all i have to say… this is film dont worth more of my attention, I hate it! I would like it if i thought killing is verry fun, but if you americans love this kind of films enjoy yourself, this is not the kind of cinema that I want…

Is this a troll? I dunno!?

I could be trolling three things here, not only the movie, but people who speak english as a second language, AND/OR the entire country of the united states for being sadistic killing loving, murder boner having, bloodgasm inducing nut jobs who can only enjoy their art in this way. I honestly don’t know where this guy is coming from, but if he wasn’t trolling it would be really interesting to talk to this person and get some further feedback.

I said I would write on here once a day, which I tried to do but at some point I missed a few days and then I tried to log into this site again and it wouldn’t let me thanks to a hiccup in WordPress’ system. So once that happened I didn’t try to log back into here again until today. So here I am writing on here for the first time in a few weeks. But what do you want from me!? I AM DOING MY BEST!!! As long as I avoid using an ellipsis i will consider this a successful post.

So I started packing last night to go to the East Coast to see my brother (He lives in Worcester a small city near Boston) and to see Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen in Waiting for Godot on Broadway (which will be amazing). Basically I am going to have a great week in the freezing cold doing really cool things! One of the other things I am excited to do is going to the place where the “Hamburger” was allegedly invented, how cool is that?

We recorded the 72nd episode of Whatever This Is last night and episode 71 still has yet to drop, both are exciting, but 71 was almost out of control. Once 71 drops, I will try and do show notes here.

So I am going to start a simple project to write something every single day. I may write more than one thing a day, but I have to at least write a post every day. I don’t have to finish it, I don’t have to make it look pretty, I don’t have to add pictures or graphs, I just have to write. So over the next few weeks we will see if this actually catches on. Could be short stories, dream journal entries, experiences from my life or just rants about whatever is bothering me that day (and trust me, many things really fucking bother me despite trying to be calm about most things). So here we go with a mandate to myself — WRITE!!!
