No. You won’t.
Yeah, yeah, yeah — I know you think that you have learned, are continuing to learn and see a future of learning for yourself over the next few years. But in reality, you must face facts and realize that no matter how much learning you think you’ve done, are doing, and will do — in the end you will never learn a damn thing.
Don’t think I get any joy out of telling you this.
I am not smiling with an annoying half-cocked grin as I write this to you. I am not jumping for joy (especially since I cannot type and jump for joy at the same time.) I am not on a three-way conference call with three other people who have learned, are learning and will continue to learn and I am not telling them that I know of some person who will never learn — which results in raucous laughter.

The older you get, the more confused one becomes.
It used to be easy keeping track of the people in your life. You were 5 years old and going to pre-school and when you were out tooling around with your parents and you saw a kid that looked familiar, you could pretty much say to your little 5-year old mind that, yes, you knew little Spencer because he was the kid you hit in the face with those Lincoln Logs yesterday during play time. He was in your pre-school class. That’s why the kid looked familiar. No question about it. Easy peasy.

50 Cent’s “In Da House Club” is probably the only rap song you know.
There you stand, in the middle of the office, throwing your hands up to the sky in what you call your “raisin’ the roof” mode, dancing to your ringtone as someone (supposedly) is calling you on the other line. For all we know, you’ve got your old cell phone with Mozart’s 5th as a ringtone calling your new one over and over and over again…
Because you’ve got 50 Cent’s “In Da House Club” as your ringtone.
You are white. You are well-off. You have had everything handed to you on a silver platter. Yet, you were one of those kids in high school who wore baggy pants that caused you to trip on your face a few times a day, in homage to your “boyyyyyzzzzz”, Kriss Kross.

You so know what you did and I’m giving you 24 hours to apologize.
I was originally going to give you 12 hours to apologize but then I thought that maybe you wouldn’t check the blog as often as you normally do after doing what you did that’s causing me to issue this “apology in 24 hours threat” as I am doing this very moment. So, lucky you, you get 24 hours.
The apology I am assuming you will issue to me within 24 hours of this being posted should be on the phone and not in text or e-mail form. Any apology in a printed form does not count as a real apology since it takes no courage to do so. I want it in person, actually. No phone calls. 100% in person.
