God Emperor Jay

Self aggrandizing prick.

Fight against the crowd

who search for 

their voice

Silence!

Silence!

Speak not unless 

it is to the liking 

and glory of 

God Emperor Prick face.

The crowd speaks

The crowd is heard

And Scatters into 

The unknown.

Author's Note

Go to town.

Amen, preach to the world!

OMG CAN WE BE FRIENDS PLEASE?!

[JayG]

Go to town? Over what? Schoolchild level insults? Your being too lazy to learn how to write poetry and throwing a hissy-fit because I dared suggest ways to improve?
- - - - -
Ah well: You must have mistaken me for your immature playmate, because only a child would resort to name-calling instead of using their words like a grown-up."

Happy now?

Child, in my life I've done things like design the communications processor for the US Presidents Airborne command post. I've designed electronic systems for companies like DuPont, Timex, and many more. I've visited 48 of the 50 states as part of my job, plus countries like Okinawa, Germany, Canada, Mexico, and more.

You?

I've given four years of service to my country as a volunteer, and have spent over 40 years working with the scouts.

You?

I've been published in nonfiction, long and short form fiction, and poetry. And by published I don't mean posting crap her as you do and calling myself published. I was paid $200 for the only poem I tried to have published, and that's 20 years ago,

I have 29 novels and short story collections available on pretty much every online book-sale site.

You?

I've raised three relly nice kids.

And what have you done? Learned how to spell "prick," but NOT how best to make it work for you. If you're lucky you get a comment or two on SOME of your posted work, while I get pages worth. But...you feel you deserve a gold star for having found your keyboard.

Here's the deal: For all we know you might be talented, and were you to take the time learn how to write poetry and fiction, you might be an excellent writer.

But behaving like a ten-year-old because someone suggested a few books that might help you? Wasted time, because I don't take you seriously. My granddaughter is thirteen, and she writes significantly better than you do, because she understands that respect is earned, not demanded. And she, at only thirteen has already starred as a paid actress.

You?

Did you really talk about your children and grandchildren as your own success?

Saying "I don't take you seriously" then writing the 30th novel.

Honestly, it must be scary to do such great work and still not know how to treat people. I hope you earn enough from your work to pay for your therapy. After such a full and productive life, it must be hard for you that most people don't like you.

[JayG]

• Did you really talk about your children and grandchildren as your own success?

You'll understand when you have children. Raising them requires a level of attention and commitment, and a focus that has to be experienced to appreciate.

• Honestly, it must be scary to do such great work and still not know how to treat people.

Hmmm...you have a total of 8 friends. I have over 1000. Talk to me when you've convinced more than a handful that you're worth befriending.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
~ Mark Twain

[Dorian]

I've only been here for 15 days and have only been active for 3 days in total, but I still have 20 friends :D. Adding friends from social media is just two clicks. How long have you been here? and how many of your friends are active, how many of them do you actually talk to? I hope these aren't the only friends you have, that would be horrible, honestly. The fact that you boasted about the number of your friends made me cry.

[JayG]

Making excuses isn't the same as accomplishments. Keep writing exactly as you do, adding no skills to the nonfiction approach you currently use and you will remain a child, no matter your age.

We'll see how my latest does. Then you can crow...or learn.

[Dorian]

And you behave like you've never been a kid. Kids are pure, I'm sure you know that since you have great kids.
I hope you can find a child's kindness.

[JayG]

• Kids are pure,

Obviously, you've never changed a daiper.

[iTryToWriteAllTheTime]

Obviously Jay needs his diaper changed. That's why he's been a cranky little boy for so long. It's really just a cry out for help. I'm sure he'll find some willing help somewhere if he looks long enough. Or maybe not.

[JayG]

Aww...poor baby's in a snit because someone dared point out that they're not perfect.

Easy enough to prove you know what you're doing. Sell something. Convince an editor to pay you for your work.

I've done it, and since you're oh, so much smarter than I am, it should be no problem. Right?

I pay attention to accomplishments, not whining children who lash out with petty insuts because they have nothing real to say.

[iTryToWriteAllTheTime]

How quickly you grasp for achievements and numbers to blanket the empty husk of your wrinkled and decaying soul.

You senile rug. You’re pathetic. I hope whichever nursing home you are housed at turns off their WiFi because we all know you’re a hollow husk of a real human being. A skin walker and a prideful brat of an old man.

Find some empathy. Connect. Touch some f*****g grass if your walker will get you that far.

[JayG]

• How quickly you grasp for achievements and numbers to blanket the empty husk of your wrinkled and decaying soul.

Says the child who is trying to defend not doing even basic research into writing EITHER poetry of fiction.

Talk is cheap. Accomplishments are what matters.

Something your teachers should have given you is the futility of entering a battle of wits unarmed.

[iTryToWriteAllTheTime]

Then what does that make talking of your own accomplishments? Cheap cheap cheap cheaaaap.
Nothing sounds witty or reasonable when your ears are clogged shut and you refuse to listen. Interesting you can’t let to seem my unlearned and unresearched words go, can you? They still cut deep into your ego.

[iTryToWriteAllTheTime]

Okinawa ain’t a country either dumbass.

[JayG]

As always, you have done no research.

When I was there, in 1956-1858, the island was not part of Japan, but was run by the US, which had taken it from Japan in The Battle of Okinawa.Only later was it returned. But still, a great many Okinawans feel they are Okinawan, not Japanese. Had you done even a cursory check you'd have found articles like:
https://magazine.libarts.colostate.edu/article/being-okinawan-an-examination-of-okinawas-history-and-resiliency/

In the film, The Karate Kid (1984), Mr Miyagi says his country is Okinawa, not Japan. And if you've seen it, you know why I'm not going to argue with him.

But as always, you're trying to distract from the real issue, your inability to handle anything but praise and lack of maturity.



• Then what does that make talking of your own accomplishments? Cheap cheap cheap cheaaaap.

Those accomplishments are the direct result of taking the time to learn the necessary skills.

It's quite possible that you'll end up far more successful than I ever was...if, you dismount from that extremely high horse you've mounted, and learn to never begin vast projects with half-vast ideas.

[iTryToWriteAllTheTime]

I’ll concede on Okinawa. You know, that almost sounded courteous at the end there, I think you’re figuring it out. Just gotta be constructive next time.

[iTryToWriteAllTheTime]

I don’t think you’ve ever praised a single thing in your life honey boo. And mature the old boy is not or he’d know when he’s failing to be heard.

[JayG]

• I don’t think

Obviously.

As The Bard puts it: Thou art as vexed as a tempestuous squirrel with naught but acorns in thy wits—a whirlwind of fury trapped in a teacup!

[iTryToWriteAllTheTime]

Good riddance.

[Sharrumkin]

Writing all the time is a good strategy. Even if no one else reads it you will.

Good luck with your writing.

Actually, too much of the crowd voted for the SOB.
