[Summer Contest Entry 2012] Leonard267's Summer Vacation

I apologise for the double post, but I feel that I ought to top a terrible summer with a terrible report card. Ah!!! My summer is complete!

Hey, don't know if you can speak german but:
Das war verdammt lustig :D
Translated it means as much as:
That was damn funny.
Although I have to agree with CoffeePrince. A story with that kind of dry and sarcastic main character would have probably been great.
Anyways wanted to thank you again for reading my text. That would be all I think... Yeah thats it.

I am thinking of writing parodies of the better entries of the recently ended writing competition. Perhaps I can come up with a main character.

To be frank, the first time I saw your thread, I thought you were sharing us your phone texts with us. Nonetheless, I enjoyed looking through your story.

But it would be a nice idea isn't it? Sharing some exchanges over the phone with us.

It was wickedly dark with the perfectly dry sense of humor to match the tone of the rest of the work. It reminds me loosely of Chuck Palahniuk, especially at the end where you mention the tankers in the distance and the waste just offshore topped off with the remark of "I just can't appreciate that". It isn't wrong, you just can't appreciate it. I lol'd, as I'm sure most did.

This work was very interesting for me, I couldn't stop reading up until the end.
It appealed to me in some way that I can relate some of my summer memories before.
It was a good read, made me smile as I could feel your very emotion through your work.

Keep up the Good Work, hope to read more of your Rants/Works in the future.

I tip my imaginary hat to you leonard267 because your realistically, fictional rant captured my interest as I read through the first paragraph. I chuckled here and there throughout the whole rant/essay because I can relate depreciating everything in my life to create humor for my fellow people who have the time to hear my so-called opinion on things like gas prices, Obama, technology, and the younger generations having little respect for peers and elders. I am honestly impressed that the last sentence I wrote in this was as long as it was because I tend to write short sentences, except sometimes I can write really long sentences that capture one complete thought and can connect that sentence to the paragraph as a whole.... what was I talking about? Oh yeah; your rant was humorous and I simply like to hear more and maybe even create a conversation or debate, not in the sense of arguing and name-calling but in expressing your view which opposes the other person's view, with you about which one of our countries are worst than the other and who truly hates their life more in a fictitious yet relative manner.

Giant, I have to tell you this. And I hope only you and I get to read this and no one who frequents Serious Discussion gets to see this. I am trying to bypass Serious Discussion. I am looking at writing monologues like this as a template of sorts to talk sbout issues that others would deem "serious".

And since no one (at least most people) takes what I write seriously and that is very intentional, I don't think I will have to suffer reading posts of people debating about things that matter very little to them and them thinking that what that does not matter to them really matters a lot to them.

I can see your point there how something that means so little to someone could actually mean a lot to them, and how that erupts into a serious discussion. I guess serious discussions are just ways to troll several people at the same time, but I do that on Facebook all the time about abortions, racism, and other "hot topics."

Finishing this, I am rather conflicted by summer as well. Lol. Though I think this barely counts as a story, the humor within it made it a well worth it read, especially the marriage jokes being mandatory.

My friend, you and I definitely need a drink. I'll pay the first round ^^

You will have to give me water or perhaps a soft drink. If you give me alcohol chances are I will fall asleep.
