In response to kiraness

I feel the need to address this comment from my recent post, "Buncha spoiled babies."

kiraness said...

who's everyone, weirdo? seems like you get more feedback with poker related biznass than much else. makes sense. it's the only subject you can effectively trick your audience into believing that you've got some working knowledge base. i agree with brian, your hike blogs are yawn inspiring. .... i'm surprised more comments aren't blaring with incredulity that you of fair skin actually ventured out into the daylight.



First of all, speaking of Brian, I know of at least 3 gentlemen with that name who read this and comment. Usually I can distinguish which one is Brian "Bwian" A. in New Zealand, but I never know if its Brian P. from my fantasy leagues or Brian my sister's friend. Or maybe it is Orioles star Brian Roberts. Oooh or figure skater Brian Boitano!

But getting back your point, kiraness, maybe this is hard for your feeble little mind to comprehend, but people do find ways to communicate with me other than through the comments on this blog. And lately, a lot of the feedback I've gotten by phone, email, IM, telegraph, carrier pigeon* and in person has been complaining about too much poker content.

What you, Bwian, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian, and all my other clown/readers need to realize is that I write this 98.3% for my own enjoyment and amusement and 5.1% for any other reason. But here I am, several times a week giving it 103.4% effort.

That's a lot of effort.

So I'll write about poker if I feel like writing about poker. I'll write about hikes and post a bunch of boring pictures if I want to post boring pictures. If you don't like it, YOU CAN GO TO HELL!!

So there...



...yeah...



...OK FINE, WHO AM I KIDDING?!

I can't keep up this ruse anymore. I love you all. Its all for you!! You aren't clown/readers!! I need your approval, kiraness. I need to entertain Brian with poker stories, Bwian with movie reviews, and Brian with sports commentary. I'm just a pale boy who hardly ever goes outside! I need love! LOVE ME!!

LOVE ME!!!!!




* - Yes, I realize that "carrier pigeon" is completely hackneyed as an example of an obscure communication channel. I might as well have just said "smoke signals" and flushed all my self-respect down the toilet. Luckily the rest of this entry in no way compromises my self-respect. My self-respect is 103.4% intact.

1. your flirting technique is that of a 3rd grader
2. you tend towards this overly sarcastic means of getting your point across to mask inner conflict and shame
3. we both know that nobody talks to you outside of poker forums and blogs
4. the real question is: what would Brain Boitano do?

ps midway through your post i was considering boycotting your little blog for a while.

2p2s brian boytano references make me laugh.

p3s you ever been to the vin diesel website? (http://www.4q.cc/vin/)

I know you are but what am I.

i think one time you called me bwian and i didnt know why.

i thought you were bwian

maybe other brians post on here too

now i think maybe not. if you accounted for all the posts i thought were bwian, i'm not sure. my sister told me her friend brian posts comments on here, but she's been know to lie through her teeth for no reason.

ps midway through your post i was considering boycotting your little blog for a while.

was it "clown/reader" that got you? did my subsequent retraction bring you back?

brian boytano references make me laugh.

you spelled his name differently than i did. i have no idea how it is properly spelled, i just guessed when i wrote it. but you spelling it differently seems to indicate that you know something i don't. i'm not sure how i feel about this.

the vin diesel website is awesome.
