Unfathomable Antipathy -Saturday, February 14, 2004 -11:59 pm-
On Friday night, one of my friends suggested I take a look at Jeff's blog because of some of the things he was saying about me. He's not someone I pay any attention to and it took me a while to track down his blog. The then current entry did, in fact, make reference to me. He was talking about everyone going to Kentucky to see Alana. For some reason, it angers him greatly that we all go to see the people in Lexington. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why that would bother him. His comment was, and I'm paraphrasing because i'm off the net right now, "Kentucky parties may lose some of their lustre after Mike goes to grad school and everyone realizes Ty in an insufferable asshole". This confuses me a great deal. First, what in the name of god does Mike and Grad school have to do with Kentucky? He's not the instigating force, how is he responsible for going? Second, I'm not there, how can I have an effect on people going? His continuing point (both in the current post and his other posts that rant about people going to KY) seems to be that there's nothing of any worth in Kentucky other than alcohol and everyone is a bunch of pathetic alcoholics for driving down there. All in all, it was rather surprising to read.
I am continually surprised that he will no express any antipathy directly to me. I have heard from others that he still tells girls they aren't safe alone with me, which is quite a case of the pot calling the kettle black. As far I as know, I have never done anything to him directly nor, as far as I know, have I ever done anything to any of his loved ones. He is in my presence, at most, two to three times a year. I do not think that can possibly be enough exposure for me to begin to grate on him. I am left with conjecture based on other people's descriptions of his personality. Do I upset him because I refuse to submit to the manipulation he doles out to everyone else? Do I anger him because I am not on his approved list and yet socialize with people he believes belong to him? All in all, I cannot believe I can draw such rancor from someone with whom I have little to no interaction.

I was told to go look at his blog again. The post has been edited and my commment to it deleted. My comment was:
How can my being an asshole possibly affect someplace I'm not at? Beyond that... dude, chill out.
Now, in place of my comment, there's a bit from Jeff lumping me in with Brian. I think being called an asshole was much less insulting. :)
