I Am Not Unlike A Super Hero

Good morning, hope you all enjoyed the weather this weekend, pretty nice. So I've been noticing some battles going on in the trenches of my blog comments. Interesting stuff you'll read there... I actually really appreciate the comments, as it means you're reading my entries. And, while most might retaliate against such criticisms as you might find in the comments sections, I appreciate them.

Did Jesus go without criticism? Did Martin Luther King Jr. go without criticism? Did Ghandi go without criticism? Did Superman go without criticism when Batman almost beat him in an issue of The Dark Knight Returns released in 1986? And so...understandably, The Gerald will not avoid criticisms. Really though, I can learn from such criticisms. I am, in fact, not perfect. I know, I know, you're shocked.

Well, it's true and I have accepted it, and I vow everyday to train hard and hone my ninja skills to near perfection, so that I may one day be able to defeat The Twin Samurai!! To be continued...

Twin Samurai...where did you ever come up with that? And who might these twin Samurai be? They must be the most powerful of all Samurai to have been posted in The Gerald's blog. I don't think you will be able to beat them. Their "flame" is too powerful for you.

Did you seriously just compare yourself to Jesus, JFK, and MLK Jr.????????? Batman somewhat acceptable but the others? I'm havin a hard time seein it.

I didn't mean to compare myself to Jesus, MLK, JFK, or Superman. I was just trying to point out that many great men have been criticised. If I too wish to ever become a great man who can make a difference, then bring on all of the criticism. Plus, some of the stuff is f-ing hilarious. We've got some funny readers.

The Gerald,

You are my Jesus, Ghandi,and Buddah all in one. Not Superman or Batman though, they are heroes. And they have super powers which I have yet to see in you. But either way I am erecting a 13.65 foot high shrine to you...

So what does Gerlad do, exactly, that he thinks will make him so great? Keeping a blog of all his comments of how awesome he is? Frankly, anyone who claims to charge a large sum of money just for the privelege of hanging with him has some serious Napoleon issues. I do not hesitate to point out, Gerald, that everyone is criticized, not only the great ones. You might well have to accept the fact that you're just like everyone else. Only you dispense advice that no one wants and a catalog of what you eat without caring that no one wants to know. Maybe to be great, you could blog thoughts on events that actually matter, and not that you don't know that glass dishes cannot be used on the stove top.

You took me out over a week ago, how come you are still so bitchy? Did you get it in the pooper again? Come on, be honest with us we are all friends here; you enjoyed it didn't you?

Wow, I see that "J" really brings out the best in all of us. But this does bring up certain issues that I would like to address.

#1. If you don't realize that most of what The Gerald is writing about is just jokes mixed in with good ideas/intentions than you must be an idiot. And now you know.

#2. If you honestly think that no one wants the advice that is being given, and you are really only speaking for yourself, then why do you continually come back to the blog? Are you trying to feed your own high and mighty ego? "Oh, I'm just so smart and i'm making such amazingly intellectual comments." You grow up. And get a life. You're not that smart, or witty. Just annoying.

#2A. Since you are so smart, don't you think you should stop misspelling everyone's name?

#3. This blog was created after a series of e-mails went out that everyone WANTED to read. So much so, that the e-mails were forwarded to tons more people every morning. This is just the simplist way of continuing on with the morning e-mails. If YOU don't like them, go away.

#4. I enjoyed hearing about the different foods that were at breakfast. I felt like it added to the story. And it made me hungry.

#5. If you want a blog that's focused on "events that really matter" than why don't you write one yourself since you seem to think that you are an expert in such things.

#6. Yeah, I do like to antagonize people. And I do think that appearances are important. And I also think that you are stupid.

Actually, you are starting to seem more like one of those "trolls" that go around in chat rooms and in blog comments and write annoying comments just to instigate a response... hmm, characteristically I believe those are ones who were never really held by their mother. It's probably because you were an ugly child.

J, your insensitive remarks and rude comments aside, I do admire your strong writing skills. No matter what you write, it always seems to be well written and well said. I just ask that if you are going to continue to read, please realize that I, as well as many of my readers, am a sarcastic person. Maybe it is true that I joke the way I do sometimes with such egotistical remarks, because I'm covering up my insecurities. Whatever the case may be, we do tend to get a good laugh out of it, though I can see how some people who may not know us would find it pointless and immature. Keep it comin', J...keep it comin'

Again! For the love of tea and biscuits!?!?!

If anybody could bother to read the damn blog and stop making assumptions , no where in there does it make any reference to Jesus, MLK or F*cking aliens from area 51 comparing them to Jerry. The question was asked "Did Jesus go without criticism? followed by then "so shall the Gerald not avoid criticism"..in this context he is taking example from others to aide into the building of his philosophies, and to help aide in his perceived bettering as a person.

Which brings me to the much loved special "J" of the board.
How in the hell do you have time to post comments here and ridicule everyone between your quests in warcraft and attending culinary school to learn of glasswares on the stove, you freaking heap of useless innuendo.

His blogs are HIS blogs, it's his thoughts and whatever he wants to say...useless or otherwise. Obviously your pedestrian ass is here reading them all the time, and guessing, in between your time eying choir boys from the pew and posting comments in your eruditely manner, it probably makes you bubble at the vag just to post your comments to lay down your deeply useless seeded knowledge as well.

Seems to me the pedestal you want to knock "The gerald" off of, is still hard for you to reach off your soap box.

Dumb *ss
