Person A-Z

So I was thinking...  What if people actually read my ramblings...  What would they think?  Am I crazy?  Am I like them?  Am I annoying?  Am I self important? Am I all or none of the above?  What I wouldn't give to be anyone else looking at me for a while....  That would be so interesting....  I think!  Hah.  It could be worse than watching paint dry.... 

What else can I talk about?

Hmmm here's an experiment.  Let's talk about people.  Let's be nonspecific yet descriptive..  ooooo this should be a challenge.

Person X....  Suffers from a lack of confidence.  Feels powerless, and ashamed.  Want's someone else to step in and turn their desire into a reality without being able to provide any facts or quantifiable data to justify there requests.

Person Y....  Very confident and knowledable, but in an awkward position.  They understand that there is a big red X on the top of their head.  They're waiting for the end, but in the meantime are very capable and willing to help.  They're not a friend of the system unless it works for them, however; they do try to do what's right when no one is looking....   I really like this person.

Person Z.....  Very knowledgeable but not so confident.  They let their fears manifest as anger.  They try to prove this superiority by highlighting the weaknesses of others.  They can't quite seem to tap into righteousness as they're too distracted by their own ambition.  I like this person too, but I can't trust them yet.

Person A....  Quite pleasant.  In fact, I would trust them with almost anything I owned.  Their aura is pure and awkwardly attractive.  They tend to hide by laterally exposing themselves.  It's really a game of cat and mouse with this one.  You run, you catch, you let go, you hide, and then you do it all over again.

Person B....   They're competent and capable, yet they took their hands off the wheel a long time ago.  Don't know how they found comfort in ambiguity but this is where they feel most at home.  They spin around in circles nailing the truth on every 3rd cycle.  It's entertaining to watch if you're not a result of a poor decision.  With every good intention we dance around the truth in hopes that while I stab in the dark, I'll hit that b*****d one of these days and when I do you'll know I'm right!!!!

Person C....  This is getting to be too much fun.  I'm a master of logic. I'm infallible until I realize I've not been given good information, then I'm only as guilty as the person feeding me bad information.  I push forward making people uncomfortable so that they are so tongue tied they can't argue with me.  Then I slap them like a b***h for being unable to fight any further!  I must be right!

Person D.... Hmmm I'm running out of characters....  I have no idea what's going on, but I'm always going to take the offensive so that people think I am in control.  If I never give you a chance to prove your point, then do you really have a point?  Remember, this is all about me..  I'm the man..  Ohh, it's too bad you don't have anything significant to contribute.  Maybe you need to step up your game.  It's not my fault that you're struggling to overcome the half truths I've spread about you....  But hey, as long as you look like a d****e, I look like a king.  So cheer up, it only gets worse.

Person E....  I'm a f*****g retard...  You'll never know this because I think that person D's endorsement makes me the mans man.  I'm going to spin around in circles preaching D's dogma until you're so tired of talking to me that you'll concede just to shut me up.  Then I can walk away believing that I won this one like every other one!!

Person F....  I think I know what's going on.  I'm not sure, but somehow I'm going to compare this to something that has nothing to do with this in hopes that you'll agree with me.  I'm afraid of everything.  I think everyone should tell me what to do that I'm not accountable for anything.  That's like me.....  Oh, yeah, that's like me too....   What?  You want me to have an opinion of my own?  Something not prewritten by someone else?  I'm not a person, I'm a drone!  I have no idea what's going on, but I will spew some mantra at you to try and shut you up so that I can call this 'dealt with'.

Person G....  You talking to me?  Oh... because I thought for a second there you really believed you had a clue what you were talking about..  Let me explain to you what really is.....

Person F....  Can you tell I'm tired yet? hmm this is tough one..  HAHA...  I have no personal connection with anyone of you.  In fact, I'm not really here.  I'm just taking in the information in front of me and processing in such a mechanical way that I could not be responsible for its outcome.  I do not like, love hate, or dislike you as I have no feelings at all..  I'm just trying to find my way to the truth, so that I can move forward, trying to improve the world in front of me to distract myself from the fact that I hate everything that I've become.  I sold my soul to become numb and even numb I sell my accomplishments to become human again....  You see it's impossible for me to ever be complete because I hate myself enough to always be out of arms reach.........

And that said,.... I'm done....  If you actually found this entertaining, you're one disturbed little puppy, and I would pet you on the head and feed you my pork chop

Hey Dark Lord...pleasure to make your acquaintance. I started to read this work because it said it hadn't yet been reviewed. I don't know if I could say I found this "entertaining," so I guess I'm not a "disturbed little puppy," but your thoughts are interesting.

I was unsure as to whether Person A-Z referred to specific people or not, but I would agree that at some point in my life thus far, I've known someone like each of these letters.

As much as I'm sure you don't necessarily want to hear my critique, my only real problem with this piece is the white font on the black background - it was so hard to read for any extended period of time because my eyes started to hurt. Other than that, it was enlightening to read your thoughts and insights into different people.
