Thought-Day 5: On being an asshole


Sometimes you feel a certain way about a certain thing that just can’t be properly defended. In this case, I don’t like that the main character of the TV show has been granted fictional admission into the graduate program I went to. The program has a long, venerable history of which I am a tiny part, but I value my connection to the program and its heritage.


I don’t think exposure on any popular TV show would do it any good and Girls ifs no exception. But alas, saying so has made me an elitist prick, possibly even sexist or racist somehow.


Its all very confusing to me, very confounding. I fond myself having to embrace being an asshole in order to defend my position. I’m not even sure it’s worth it, but here I am. As much as it sucks, I think it’s probably healthy to embrace being an asshole and own it.


I feel strongly about this, even though it doesn’t; really matter in the larger scheme of things at all.
