Cowboy Caleb Says His Piece: Screw You

Apparently because I am a big-shot blogger, the founder of the Cowboy Bar, an editor at Tomorrow and have manberries of steel - people have been asking me (via email) why I have not had an opinion on the recent Infantilegate and Acidflask fiasco. Yes, that very question was posed to me by some anonymous dickhead who emailed me and tried to give me homework to do.

I suspect it’s the same dickhead who annoyed Miyagi so much he actually said something too. I thought I had already said what was on my mind regarding this two incidents in an indirect manner.

Why should I have an opinion on those issues? Why do you feel that I should be obliged to contribute my ideas? Why am I being made to feel like it’s my responsibility to be some kind of barometer of justice?

To tell you the truth, those two issues never did really register on my radar. Well not only am I a big-shot blogger, the founder of the Cowboy Bar, an editor at Tomorrow and have manberries of steel - I am also all of the following below:

  • A guy who has a life - a very interesting life. You don’t really think I spend all my time blogging and worrying about world peace now do you?
  • A committed hedonist who thinks other people’s problems are other people’s problems. But other people’s parties are definitely my parties. What you got no party? Then you’ve got a problem!
  • A loyal believer who thinks Singapore is a great place to live and work in. Don’t talk to me about suffering you pampered mommy’s boy. You don’t know what suffering is. Not being able to speak your mind is not suffering. When you’ve have no chance to study because of the colour of your skin, denied access to medical facilities, have to work 2 jobs to pay for your tuition and survive on bread & water for months on end - then you come back and talk to me about suffering. In the meantime try to stop wetting your bed at night.
  • Clever enough to know empty tin cans make the most noise
  • I’m Cowboy Fucking Caleb. You don’t give me homework! I will kick your ass 3 ways to China if I ever find out who you are, you crackerasspunk!

I want you to consider the following possible actions: get drunk, visit a KTV, visit a night club, get an STD, crash your car into a tree, jump into the Singapore river at midnight, gatecrash a party, volunteer for a medical trial, train to climb a mountain, date a former man, befriend a butch and adopt an abandoned puppy.

The above would give you something to do (like get a life) and prevent you from writing anymore silly holier than thou email to anybody ever again.

Well said there! (Though you’re being rather harsh towards a supposedly serious person.)

I think it’s more like the person’s getting to all of them. Though he really is irritating. I don’t think any of them enjoy being told what to write about, as with any blogger.

I think all these problems can be solved with an appropriate T-shirt and maybe even a new national song. Heh.

I agree with your 3rd point, that not being able to speak your mind is not suffering.

It would be great to “survey” this piece of shit. I mean, the holier-than-thou email.

Surely this dude can also start his own blog and have his own opinion rather than asking from you.
