Dec. 6, 1999: Without inciting more of a riot then it is worth, Marlin’s Place named me one of two “Dimwits” of the year. Of course, as is typical response, he took it down after a while. However, I am flattered by the award and take to heart to know that I was described by Marlin that what, “…(he) didn’t know however, is that (he) had just tossed a road flare onto a puddle of gasoline”. I stand by the fact that DigitalFl00d may be the last so called “news” pages to keep its posts up. Yes, I stand by my word and I never delete an entry. For as fanatical as it may sound I really believe what I say here. So proudly I stand by my co-celebrant (okay, maybe not proudly… never the less) Korpios as a Dimwit. Blind to the truth (or at least too firm in my position for Marlin’s liking). Either way Melissa‘s got my back and well… that’s all that matters. For a wife is just not “your woman”, she is your compatriot and companion. The one you trust with everything. Your one true love. A couple days ago while driving somewhere in my “pinto” (it’s a ZX2 damn it… you know the car that beat several family sedan in acceleration!). That stupid “Sun Screen” song come on 92.3FM K-rock NY’s Solid State program. I kept hearing the line, “If your life is miserable… this is as good as it gets”. Wow, and they say Marilyn Manson is nihilist! What a depressing load of crap. I’ve learned one lesson in life: Stick by your guns. If some one thinks your wrong and every one else thinks your right. Hell, if you just darn well know your right… stick with it. As soon as I started believing in myself that is when things turned around and contrary to popular songs– life got better. Respect is only gained by others when you respect yourself first. I truly believe that good karma starts from within and works its way out. Who knows? Maybe one day you too can live as happily as I do… or at least get a Dimwit of the Year award 🙂
