I wish I were smart like Spock.
I wouldn't even mind having the lack of emotions. I'm too emotional, I think. Emo. Them damn emotions have caused me so much trouble in my life! Some girls dig a guy without emotions, so maybe there wouldn't even be a lack of lovemaking at all. In fact, sex surely would only be used to procreate and I wouldn't get horny except every seven years during Pon Farr or when some crazy hippy plant blows its spores on me.
There are some girls that seem to like me as I am. Emotional. I'm a loving guy! But a one woman man!
But when you love a woman that sneaks out and bangs someone else behind your back and all sensors and even the mind meld indicate it as fact even though she says it isn't, that's when those emotions hurt. And in that gut wrenching pain you wish you had been smarter and logical and celibate.
I would love to be more smart and less of a smart-ass.
There's a friend I've known for over 20 years, she's smart. She can spell, knows grammar stuff, math, book smart, she's raised smart kids, got degrees, went through college on scholarships, she's pretty... Pretty sickening, really. Smartypants!
Her oldest girl just took the ACT. I didn't even know what that was? I thought it was some theatre thing, like ACT-ing. The girl was so worry about the test and the grade, so when I heard she made a 29, I thought, "Damn, this poor chick is as dumb as me," but I guess 36 is the high score. I was thinking 100 was the high score. See how stupid I am?
Then her boyfriend was giving her grief about the score, so I was like, "How was his?"
"31"
"Really? Did he tell you this before or after you got your grade?"
"After."
"Uh huh. Have you seen his score? Actual documentation?"
"Why? Do you think he'd lie to me?"
Poor thing. She doesn't understand young boys can't stand dating girls smarter than them. Some men have a similar thing and can't date a woman that makes more money than them. I grew out of that real quick.
I love smart girls. I love book worms and girls with glasses. I love making out with a four-eyed girl so I can take her glasses off and she can't see how ugly I am.
If I was Spock smart, I think things would be better for me. I'd get on game shows and win big money, or something.
I read in the News today about a new study that says after studying something, if you nap you will retain that knowledge. You'd think I'd be the smartest boy in the world with all the naps I took in class!
When I lived in LA, years ago, I was asked to work on a film for a friend, but I was busy, when I saw the film it was pretty amazing. It was about all these homeless people and people barely surviving on minimum wage and as it ended it would show their sad and worn faces and list the degrees each of these people had. They were geniuses by university standards, but unable to make it in the world on their smarts. One guy was shown eating out of a dumpster and he literally had a PhD in nuclear engineering.
Then the film ended with all these Millionaires and Billionaires that were high school dropouts and some didn't even make it past 6th grade.
It's a crazy world!
I guess, if I can't be like Spock I'd like to win a lottery and have a sweet smart girl with glasses read to me and know all the answers to my dumbass questions.
