Well, it's not committed to memory; you post them on one continuous stream so when I scrolled down (seeing if there was any more) I saw that line in the previous game post. I assure you, i don't have the memory nor the motivation to memorize what you write. However, be happy to know I do read most of your recaps. That would be the point of you writing them, so good on you. I enjoy your writing style for the most part, just not the vitriol you spew.
I find it interesting that you seem to know what makes me happy and what makes me unhappy. Since you asked, my perspective is that I pity people who seem to be unable to find joy in anything, especially a game. If the recaps are truly a spoof, and not your apparent frustration and anger at the world (now I'm pretending to know something about you), then I guess that pity is misplaced. That being said, everyone gets off on other people's misery (schadenfreude) to some degree. We're 21-9, and I can only recall one "thumbs up" post after a game - but perhaps my memory is off.
All that psychobabble being said, I can understand the jaded point of view. After all, we are St. John's. It would just seem to be more beneficial to enjoy the good moments while they're here, rather than simply focus on everything bad that has happened and will continue to happen. Differing life philosophies I suppose.
I hesitate for a number of reasons to continue this discussion. On the one hand more threads about me cannot not be a boon but on the other they are here out of place and might anyway chew up bandwidth better used discussing whether Marco Baldi is a true college basketball fan or which posters are Linda or Joe3. So I'll be brief and let the matter drop.
I think I know what makes you unhappy at least in regards my recaps because you've expressed your displeasure at them publicly and repeatedly. In light of that I'd wonder why you read them at all - if they weren't so damned compelling. But it seems to me odd. For example, there are posters on this website who I disdain. I skip their posts and if I don't I don't engage them in discourse. Because life's too short to spend it arguing with nimrods. I certainly wouldn't read their blogs. That was my point. Either you are reading something that makes you unhappy - which unhappiness you express by voting down simple links to a webpage - or you're taking pleasure by publicly denigrating the efforts of someone you "pity." Which probably is even worse. It's kind of akin to spell checking "Will work four food" signs. I would assume a pitiable person was an object of compassion, not approbation. Unless you're an objectivist obviously, then all bets would be off.
I find it hard to believe that you can read my little monkeyshines and take away from them "anger and frustration at the world." I find them hilarious and myself to be a riot most of the time. Sure, I mostly hate everyone and everything but not all the time. Like little puppies, I don't hate them. And tits, I like those. And then for great swaths of time I'm busy being drunk. So really spewing vitriol is just a small part of my day. If pressed I'd cop to being disgusted by humanity most of the time and aiming to maintain an attitude of indifference toward it the rest. Of course this
schadenfreude weltanschauung, it's not for everyone. That's why I don't post my essays here, lest delicate flowers have to take to the divan with the vapors - unless they choose to. Which is me being compassionate. So I'm not all bad, see?
