Speaking of annoying friends. Hows it going today? Are you feeling better yet?
I guess I should take the time to give you a genuine response, at least.
Your insults and how you see me as a stereotype; that stuff doesn't bother me.
One part that does sting would be the feelings of betrayal. You say you're my friend but it makes you feel good to insult me. It doesn't sting much though, because I've always said only a friend can stab you in the back. Out of all the people I've met here, I expected this out of you, I'm not surprised. So it stings, but not that much, because I saw it coming.
In my defense, I've said numerous times within my blog, I don't expect everyone to enjoy what I do. That's the life I signed up for, and I'm cool with it, always have been. I never said I was the best either. I don't think that, at all, but I have received a lot of encouragement here from people over the past two years. Some do like what I do, and that's okay. They've always helped keep me on track and I'm able to respect them for it.
You can say what you want, and I know you will. You can feel however you want. You shouldn't call yourself honest though. You're not being honest when you say that. A lot of what I've said in my defense has been written all over my blog, for years. It's all there, I don't really need to say it again. Anyone can come along, dig deep enough, and they'd find the truth and see how you're just being an ass. I don't have to prove myself to anyone though, and that includes you.
Also, did you even read the line of mine you quoted?
My writing is art and my pictures are worth thousands of words.
There's no mention of money there, at all. Underneath it I wrote:
I just thought it would be cool to say that.
The whole thing may have sounded cocky, but that was intentional, because the comment was meant to be lighthearted in nature; not to be taken 100% seriously. I shared a link with you, above, explaining why I would think something like that is funny to me.
