A thought for the early morning...

As many others here, I had the misfortune of watching that miserable, smarmy, revolting, sicko scumbag yesterday, chairing that committee. I got to thinking that of all the disgusting people who we are exposed to in that party, he ranks near the top, and I searched my soul for the reason or reasons he’s so loathsome and abominable and I have come to my own personal conclusions. For the record, I am not saying that this is generally the case or argument, but it is definitely specific for me.

As I’ve posted before, I went to a small private school in the 1960s and we were all required to participate in the sports programs in the season whether varsity or junior varsity. I attended the school for six years and had 18 letters, both varsity and junior varsity with some mild degree of success in a couple sports at the high school level. I might add that I was quite well aware that I would not even show up in college for any tryouts , so, as Clint Eastwood once said, I knew my limitations.

Of all the sports in which I participated, the wrestling thing was best described as bizarre. As most of you know, you are sorted by weight class and compete for placement on the team to wrestle in the matches with other schools. This was definitely not my sport, and was continuously, physically and emotionally denigrated. The coach whom they imported for wrestling, had, like the prick on Capitol Hill, been a college wrestler and formed these intimate relationships with the competent varsity guys, and gave passing waves to the less competent varsity fellows.

He was a cliquy, malevolent, angry son of a bitch, who took definite joy in watching people in physical distress and agony. If you’ve wrestled, you know that when you are in a wholly defensive position, there is a certain degree of pain, suffering and hopelessness as you are being manipulated into your pinned position. On top of everything else, you couldn’t take a leak in the bathroom without this guy telling you that you were holding your dick wrong and my joke was that he’d be willing to show you how at any given moment.

Now, after practice or meet, all of us would shower in the communal shower, including the coach for some “unknown” reason , and he would join a couple of the other miscreants, walking around naked, snapping towels at defenseless boys, who made the mistake of taking too long to get dressed. There was a sadistic malevolence about this guy, and he had the exact same tone of voice that this prick has with the anger, short sentences, sarcasm, denigration, humiliation, and clear ignorance of what makes human beings function above the base level.

After I graduated, I got to know some of the faculty and former faculty a little bit better due to alumni functions, I found out that this guy had more shit in his closet than anyone would have imagined. Many of us hated his guts, and literally wished him dead. Things did work out in that regard a few years ago, and believe me when I tell you that only occasionally do I smile when I see a death notice and his was one of those. I hope that slimy prick was in a great deal of distress before he died.

So I came to the conclusion that my visceral hatred of Gym Jordan has its origins in my adolescent psyche, and as we know about the judgment of adults by the youth, and that they are correct more often than not. I personally have no misgivings about this and every time I see that bastard or hear his name, my guts almost literally go into spasm.

Best I can tell, the dentist/janitor doesn’t like people who are more intelligent than he can ever hope to be, it sets him on edge, which explains why he’s angry all the time,  or as he puts it “my guts almost literally go into spasm.”

It's not 100%, but there is some association between age and garrulity. I still try to control my verbosity, though.

He went to a small private school and got 18 letters “attention whore “  is only 14 I wonder what the other 4 are?

So, he's carrying buckets of hatred for one man who has passed away, and I'll bet before then had little to no memory of Mr. PCI, and for another man who has no concept that Mr. PCI exists.

Great way to go through life there.  No wonder you are so happy and well balanced.

It took a few rounds, and reminded me I need to assign my middle school students more writing assignments so they can learn put thoughts on to paper coherently.

I've been guilty of such loquacious behavior at times the older that I get. But only in certain certain circumstances. Rather a bigger factor that I've noticed since college is that the higher level of alcohol consumption is directly related to the looser people are with their speech. Add in the anonymity of social media, and it exponentially expands.

In other words, he hates everyone.
